“…We also must consider that engaging students socially to learn mathematics is critical for improving students’ numeracy knowledge [ 13 ]. TBL is effective for introducing social conditions within a community of practice where students relate to team norms at the center of student learning [ 14 ]. Carpenter et al [ 14 ] extended student engagement for a better understanding of the subjective construal underlying engagement in TBL and we can apply their findings to numeracy development.…”

Purpose: The literature suggests that the ability to numerate cannot be fully understood without accounting for the social context in which mathematical activity is represented. Team-based learning (TBL) is an andragogical approach with theoretical links to sociocultural and community-of-practice learning. This study aimed to quantitatively explore the impact of TBL instruction on numeracy development in 2 cohorts of pharmacy students and identify the impact of TBL instruction on numeracy development from a social perspective for healthcare education.Methods: Two cohorts of students were administered the Health Science Reasoning Test-Numeracy (HSRT-N) before beginning pharmacy school. Two years after using TBL as the primary method of instruction, both comprehensive and domain data from the HSRT-N were analyzed.Results: In total, 163 pharmacy student scores met the inclusion criteria. The students’ numeracy skills measured by HSRT-N improved after 2 years of TBL instruction.Conclusion: Numeracy was the most significantly improved HSRT-N domain in pharmacy students following two years of TBL instruction. Although a closer examination of numeracy development in TBL is warranted, initial data suggest that TBL instruction may be an adequate proxy for advancing numeracy in a cohort of pharmacy students. TBL may encourage a social practice of mathematics to improve pharmacy students’ ability to numerate critically.

Background: Opioid overdoses continue to be one of the most urgent public health priorities. In 2020, reported overdose deaths in the United States reached a high of over 93,000 cases. As the COVID-19 pandemic and opioid crisis continues to be addressed, life-saving agents must be more widely accessible to those with a high overdose risk. An essential step to increasing access is to train student pharmacists to dispense naloxone. Once licensed, the number of personnel authorized to dispense naloxone can increase. Objectives: To design a training program to educate second-year pharmacy (P2) students on furnishing naloxone under a state protocol. Methods: A multi-phased curriculum-based naloxone training program was delivered to P2 students and included lecture-based education, team-based learning (TBL) applications, case-based scenarios, and summative assessments to improve student knowledge and confidence in furnishing naloxone. Students were surveyed on their knowledge and confidence with naloxone prior to training, after the in-class training and TBL applications and after three assessments. Assessments included simulated patient counseling, case-based scenarios, and proper dispensing of naloxone in a community pharmacy simulation lab. Results: A total of 185 student pharmacists completed the naloxone training program and 68 completed all three surveys. Average scores for naloxone assessments were 83% for the APPS lab patient case, 90.5% for the prescription label typed for the naloxone product, and 88.5% for patient counseling. Statistically significant increases in knowledge-based quiz-like scores (42.1% after training vs. 7.2% after assessment) and in the proportion of students affirmatively answering survey questions after training and assessment was observed. Conclusion: Multi-phase curriculum-based naloxone training program improved pharmacy student knowledge and confidence in furnishing naloxone under a state BOP protocol.

Introduction: Team-Based Learning (TBL) is an active-learning methodology that has been successfully employed in various health schools' curricula. This study assessed the perception of pharmacy students studying in a College of Pharmaceutical Sciences towards TBL with an emphasis on their perception to online TBL. Materials and Methods:The study was a cross sectional survey including students of all the four years of Bachelor of Pharmacy program. Team-based learning student assessment instrument (TBL-SAI) was used to evaluate the perception of pharmacy students towards TBL. Results: Out of the total 82 students, majority were female (n=52, 63.4%, 95% CI: 52.4 -73.2) and were from final year of the program (n=38, 46.3%, 95% CI: 35.4 -57.3). Mean age of the study participants was 21.3 ± 2.0 years, with age range from 17 to 27 years. Majority of the students' responses indicated that they favored various aspects of TBL. Mean scores for the three TBL-SAI subscales, accountability, preference for lecture or TBL, student satisfaction, were 31.3 ± 3.3, 54.3 ± 7.4, 31.2 ± 4.4 respectively. All the three subscales of TBL-SAI attained scores well above the threshold favoring TBL. Majority of the students preferred online TBL compared to paper based TBL. No statistically significant results were found in logistic regression analyses carried out to identify characteristics associated with preference for TBL. Conclusion: Pharmacy students preferred TBL over traditional lecture-based teaching. Furthermore, they preferred the online mode of TBL as they found it to be more organized, student and environment friendly compared to paper based TBL.
