Audience response systems (ARSs) are an increasingly popular tool in higher education for promoting interactivity, gathering feedback, preassessing knowledge, and assessing students' understanding of lecture concepts. Instructors in numerous disciplines are realizing the pedagogical value of these systems. Actual research on ARS usage within pharmacy education is sparse. In this paper, the health professions literature on uses of ARSs is reviewed and a primer on the issues, benefits, and potential uses within pharmacy education is presented. Future areas of educational research on ARS instructional strategies are also suggested.
观众反应系统(ARSs)在高等教育中作为一种促进互动、收集反馈、预先评估知识以及评估学生对讲座概念理解的工具,正变得越来越流行。许多学科的教师都意识到了这些系统的教学价值。然而,关于ARSs在药学教育中的实际应用研究却很少。本文回顾了健康专业领域中关于ARSs应用的文献,并介绍了药学教育中相关问题、益处及潜在应用的入门知识。同时还提出了未来关于ARS教学策略的教育研究领域。
