Self-Directed Problem Based Learning Design Strategies

Self-directed problem based learning modules are becoming popular within many healthcare professional programs including colleges of pharmacy. This instructional approach can foster independence, generate initiative, and develop a platform for problem solving skills that are necessary attributes for today’s practicing pharmacist. The challenge is learning how to develop these types of modules, all the while ensuring student success.

This workshop walks the participant (faculty) through a series of design components to help meet the challenges associated with self-directed problem based learning. Emphasis will be placed on providing the participant with an infrastructure and a set of tools for immediate implementation geared toward bringing solutions to some of the inherent design challenges.

Some of the key design components for success address:

  • Maintaining student motivation and interest
  • Establishing strategic time points for intervention
  • Developing behavioral, functional, and professional competencies

Intended audience

  • Pharmacists/Faculty of Pharmacy
