Traditional Lecture Format Compared to Computer-Assisted Instruction in Pharmacy Calculations.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Delafuente, Jeffrey C.; Araujo, Oscar E.; Legg, Sue M. – American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education, 1998
Compares exam scores in a pharmacy calculations course of 55 students in a traditional lecture format and 55 in computer-assisted instruction (CAI). Scores were similar before separation into groups and after six weeks of instruction by either method. The CAI program was easy to use and well received by students, and this group spent less time…
