To evaluate the effectiveness of using a jigsaw cooperative learning approach to teach basic concepts of renal clearance to pharmacy students.
Students collected information on the mechanisms of renal clearance for a particular drug and proposed a methodology for circumventing a urine drug screen. Attitudinal surveys, an online quiz, and course examinations were used to assess student learning.
The majority of students felt apprehensive toward a group assignment prior to the exercise, and afterwards still preferred individual work over group work. Post-exercise quiz and final examination scores showed students successfully learned the material.
Students were successful in learning from each other and there was no difference in examination performance compared to years when the technique was not used. In addition, the relative negative experiences of previous group work decreased the subjective attitudes related to the current learning experience.
评估采用拼图式合作学习方法向药学专业学生传授肾脏清除率基本概念的有效性。
学生收集特定药物肾脏清除机制的信息，并提出规避尿液药物筛查的方法。通过态度调查、在线测验和课程考试来评估学生的学习情况。
大多数学生在练习前对小组作业感到担忧，练习后仍更喜欢独立作业而非小组作业。练习后的测验和期末考试成绩表明学生成功掌握了相关知识。
学生能够成功地相互学习，与未采用该方法的年份相比，考试成绩没有差异。此外，以往小组作业的相对负面经历降低了与当前学习体验相关的主观态度。
