Pharmacology is a distinct discipline and offers core knowledge to broaden student programs in the provision of health care (medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and others) as well as research-oriented programs (biosciences and biomedical). Therefore, knowledge and information on topics such as prescribing medication, drug interactions, dosage adjustments, and the correct drug dose calculation for medicine are essential for preventing and reducing medication errors, which is a key element in patient safety. Recently, many institutions have been trying to enhance their quality of teaching, as students demand support and success in their studies. Pharmacology is a highly challenging interdisciplinary topic, and requires a huge effort from both educators and students to achieve the best outcomes. Therefore, creating an effective environment to support students’ learning in pharmacology courses is essential to improving students’ engagement, success and learning outcomes. In recent decades, the landscape of education has changed, and distance learning has skyrocketed. This manuscript intends to discuss and highlight the importance of student engagement in higher education in pharmacology courses. Additionally, this paper spotlights and presents a review of recent studies focusing on student engagement in pharmacology courses and possible methods for enhancing and inspiring student engagement in pharmacology courses.

“…Besides, there is a significant effort to determine the factors affecting student engagement. For instance , Carpenter, Reddix and Martin (2016) have examined the effects of Web 2.0 tools usage in blended education on students' engagement and retention, and have reached positive results in terms of increasing engagement. Positive findings have also been reached in the studies using some specific Web 2.0 tools such as Wiki (Neumann & Hood, 2009;Snodgrass, 2011), Facebook (Maisonneuve, Chambe, Lorenzo, & Pelaccia, 2015;Northey et al, 2015), andpodcast-vodcast (van Oordt &Mulder, 2016).…”

This study examined studies focusing on student engagement in distance education using a trend analysis technique. 154 studies published in web of science database were included in the study. Analysis showed that there is an increasing effort to understand student engagement. Researchers are mostly focusing on instructional design and educational technology. More effort is needed in the area of distance education systems and theories. The findings offer support for Chickering and Gamson's Seven Principles of Good Practice as important in promoting student engagement in distance education. However, six new components were added to these principles: media properties, student characteristics, teaching method, course/content design, innovative techniques, and instructor competencies.
