Podcasts are a popular way to learn and engage at the convenience of the listener. Education is incorporating podcasts to supplement and reinforce students learning inside and outside the classroom.
The authors created a podcast covering the Top 200 commonly prescribed medications. This was to help students recall and reinforce medication knowledge they typically must learn on their own.
Student performance on post-tests improved (p = 0.0011) compared to pre-tests with an effect size r of 0.39 (0.37, 0.32, and 0.42 for P1, P2 and P3 respectively). Students reported the content was easy to follow, and they enjoyed learning from other students. The total number of plays for the podcast as of 19 July 2023 were 882. Each episode had a range of one to 89 number of plays.
The podcast was well received by students, and drug knowledge increased. While the podcasts were shorter in time, they still provided the foundational information for a first-year pharmacy student to know. Overall, podcasts provide another way to help students retain and reinforce material learned inside and outside the classroom.
播客是一种受欢迎的学习方式，可以在听众方便的时候进行学习和参与。教育界正在将播客纳入课程，以补充和加强学生在课堂内外的学习。
作者制作了一个涵盖 200 种常用处方药物的播客。这是为了帮助学生回忆和强化他们通常需要自己学习的药物知识。
与前测相比，学生在后测中的表现有所提高（p=0.0011），效应量 r 为 0.39（P1、P2 和 P3 分别为 0.37、0.32 和 0.42）。学生报告说内容易于理解，他们喜欢从其他学生那里学习。截至 2023 年 7 月 19 日，该播客的总播放次数为 882 次。每集的播放次数从 1 到 89 不等。
学生对播客的反应良好，药物知识有所增加。虽然播客的时间较短，但它们仍然为药学一年级学生提供了课堂内外学习的基础信息。总的来说，播客提供了另一种帮助学生在课堂内外保持和强化所学内容的方法。
