Abstract | Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of video assignments as a tool to improve students' engagement and maximize their benefit from the assigned homework in a pharmaceutical calculations course. Methods: This was an intervention study, including the use of a new electronic educational tool. The study was conducted during the academic year 2021-2022. Six video assignments were created for two of the four modules of the pharmaceutical calculations course for the first-year pharmacy students. The video assignments were employed in a flipped classroom mode, with each video including 3-4 questions on successive steps in one problem. Students' perceptions of the video assignments were assessed through a survey conducted at the end of the course. The survey items represented the five domains of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Results: All the first-year students (n=356) were assigned to this new educational tool. A total of 296 students responded to the survey, with a response rate of 83%. The majority of students agreed with the perceived usefulness, ease of use, and behavioral intention to use the video assignment. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated a significant positive association between two items (perceived usefulness and attitude to use) and the outcome variable (behavioral intention to use). Conclusions: The video assignment tool was successfully used to provide immediate feedback to a large class in a pharmaceutical calculations course. The students were in favor of the video assignment compared to traditional paper assignments. This finding could encourage other instructors to assess the benefit of implementing such tools in other pharmacy courses. |
