Abstract
We report the implementation of a new pedagogical virtual tool within the Institut des Sciences Pharmaceutiques et Biologiques (ISPB) of Lyon for second-year pharmacy students. This tool provides a 360° immersive visit to the actual chemistry practical laboratory, allowing students to explore the room before attending the practical class in a video game-like fashion. The originality of this tool lies on the variety of pedagogical contents embedded in the 360° visit, such as 2D videos, lightboard videos, and animation videos. Evaluations of this immersive visit on learning, motivation, and autonomy of pharmacy students have been assessed by the students through online feedback. The positive results obtained demonstrated the usefulness of this tool in improving learning and motivation and fostering increased autonomy during practical classes. A more quantitative analysis was employed to examine the effect of watching the video before practical classes on the students’ autonomy level during the practical classes. The statistical test revealed a significant improvement in autonomy for students who watched the video before attending practical classes compared to those who did not. We hope this work will be beneficial to teaching researchers in pharmacy faculties seeking to bring innovation to their teaching methods.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chemical Education is the official journal of the Division of Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society, co-published with the American Chemical Society Publications Division. Launched in 1924, the Journal of Chemical Education is the world’s premier chemical education journal. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and related information as a resource to those in the field of chemical education and to those institutions that serve them. JCE typically addresses chemical content, activities, laboratory experiments, instructional methods, and pedagogies. The Journal serves as a means of communication among people across the world who are interested in the teaching and learning of chemistry. This includes instructors of chemistry from middle school through graduate school, professional staff who support these teaching activities, as well as some scientists in commerce, industry, and government.
