Student evaluation of the learning environment is important to enhance learning experiences. Programs such as Pharmacy use feedback from the evaluation to identify teaching-learning issues and use it to improve the quality of the learning experiences. The article aims to explore the general observations from the evaluation; to identify how the feedback is used to improve the learning environment and to identify lessons for educators in managing and using the feedback.
A cross-sectional data analysis of Pharmacy students' learning environment from 2011-2015 based on data from module, faculty, IMU-REEM and Student Barometer Survey was applied. Feedback obtained from the data was triangulated to establish commonalities/differences of the issues.
Based on the analysis, issues affecting Pharmacy student learning experiences were identified. The identified issues included teaching by subject matter experts, pedagogical delivery and physical learning environment. Seven lessons were presented for educators to assess the practicality of the feedback.
The feedback serves as a means to improve the Pharmacy program. Nonetheless, the challenges lie between the ideal and realistic expectations of students in optimizing the learning experiences. Lessons acquired from the evaluation of the learning environment are essential for educators in managing and using the information.
学生对学习环境的评估对于提升学习体验很重要。药学等专业会根据评估的反馈来识别教学问题，并利用这些反馈来提高学习体验的质量。本文旨在探讨从评估中得出的一般观察结果；确定如何利用反馈来改善学习环境，并为教育者在管理和使用反馈方面提供经验教训。
对 2011-2015 年药学学生学习环境的横截面数据分析，基于模块、教师、IMU-REEM 和学生晴雨表调查的数据。从数据中获得的反馈进行了三角剖分，以确定问题的共性/差异。
根据分析，确定了影响药学学生学习体验的问题。确定的问题包括学科专家教学、教学方法和物理学习环境。为教育者提出了七个经验教训，以评估反馈的实用性。
反馈是改进药学课程的一种手段。然而，在优化学习体验方面，学生的理想和现实期望之间存在挑战。从学习环境评估中获得的经验教训对于教育者管理和使用信息至关重要。
