However, the success of AL/ PBL tends to vary depending on local context and culture. We undertook a study to assess pharmacy students' current experience, expectations and level of understanding of AL/ PBL. A focus group discussion involving ten Year-4 pharmacy students was conducted in Malaysia. Three key themes emerged: expectations of the AL/ PBL session, tutor characteristics and cultural issues. The students expected that the AL/ PBL session should help them apply their knowledge in real-life clinical situations. They also felt that the personality of the tutor was the key to the success of AL/ PBL, and that Asians were more hesitant to participate in AL/ PBL sessions. AL/ PBL has the potential to be effective provided the sessions are carefully planned, and tutors are well trained in the context of local culture. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
