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.

美国药学专业学生在团队学习后提高计算能力:一项纵向队列研究

目的文献表明,如果不考虑代表数学活动的社会背景,就无法完全理解计算能力。基于团队的学习 (TBL) 是一种与社会文化和实践社区学习有理论联系的男女教育方法。本研究旨在定量探讨 TBL 教学对 2 组药学学生计算能力发展的影响,并从医疗保健教育的社会角度确定 TBL 教学对计算能力发展的影响。方法 在开始药学院学习之前,对两组学生进行了健康科学推理测验 - 算术 (HSRT-N)。在使用 TBL 作为主要教学方法两年后,对 HSRT-N 的综合数据和领域数据进行了分析。结果 总的来说,163 名药学学生成绩符合纳入标准。经过 2 年的 TBL 教学后,通过 HSRT-N 测量的学生的计算能力有所提高。结论 在经过两年的 TBL 教学后,计算能力是药学学生 HSRT-N 领域中最显着改善的领域。尽管有必要对 TBL 中的计算能力发展进行更仔细的检查,但初步数据表明,TBL 教学可能足以代表药学院学生提高计算能力。TBL 可以鼓励数学的社会实践,以提高药学学生的批判性计算能力。尽管有必要对 TBL 中的计算能力发展进行更仔细的检查,但初步数据表明,TBL 教学可能足以代表药学院学生提高计算能力。TBL 可以鼓励数学的社会实践,以提高药学学生的批判性计算能力。尽管有必要对 TBL 中的计算能力发展进行更仔细的检查,但初步数据表明,TBL 教学可能足以代表药学院学生提高计算能力。TBL 可以鼓励数学的社会实践,以提高药学学生的批判性计算能力。
