Publication Type: Abstract Abstract: Objectives/intent: • Implement an active, problem solving method for teaching large groups of students with limited resources. • Improve student learning by utilizing immediate, corrective feedback. Methods/process: 130 students are placed into 24 groups of 5-6 students. Students prepare for the exercise by reading assignments and/or lectures. During the class hour, students receive a patient case that applies information learned during their advance preparation. Students individually answer a series of multiple choice questions based on the case. Students then work as a group to repeat the exercise by discussing the questions and coming to consensus on the correct response. Answers are recorded on the IF-AT form, a scratch off version of the scantron answer sheet. A star indicates the correct answer. If incorrect, the student group can choose a second or third choice for partial credit. Each student receives the grade achieved by the group activity. Results/outcomes: Application of the IF-AT improved student attendance. Faculty who used the technique reported that groups were fully engaged in the process. Data from student surveys will be analyzed prior to the July meeting. Implications: Application of the IF-AT process permits one instructor to conduct group learning in a large class with little or no assistance. Students are fully engaged in problem solving with immediate feedback on their performance. The IF-AT is well-suited to progressive activities where students need to discern the correct information before proceeding to the next step. This process can be used in a variety of disciplines within the pharmaceutical sciences.
