To implement and assess an innovative approach to teaching electrocardiogram (ECG) rhythms using dance and movement.
Recognition of ECG rhythms was taught to a group of third-year pharmacy students using dance and movement via collaboration with a dance faculty member. A control group was taught using traditional pharmacy lecture and PowerPoint slides.
A pretest and posttest were administered to both groups. There was a trend in test score improvement in the dance and movement group. After the sessions, a focus group was held to assess student perceptions using qualitative methods. Students thought the addition of dance helped them with speed of retention and recognition of ECG rhythms. Some students reported feeling out of their comfort zone.
Interprofessional collaboration between pharmacy and dance faculty members resulted in an innovative teaching methodology for ECG rhythms that increased test scores.
实施并评估一种使用舞蹈和动作教授心电图(ECG)节律的创新方法。
通过与舞蹈教师合作,向一组三年级药学专业学生教授识别心电图节律的知识,使用舞蹈和动作。对照组则采用传统的药学讲座和 PowerPoint 幻灯片进行教学。
对两组学生都进行了前测和后测。舞蹈和动作组的测试成绩呈上升趋势。课程结束后,通过定性方法举行焦点小组会议,评估学生的看法。学生们认为舞蹈的加入有助于他们更快地记忆和识别心电图节律。一些学生表示感到不自在。
药学专业和舞蹈专业教师之间的跨专业合作,为心电图节律带来了创新的教学方法,提高了测试成绩。
