An Educational Board Game to Assist PharmD Students in Learning Autonomic Nervous System Pharmacology

To examine whether playing a board game can assist PharmD students in learning autonomic nervous system (ANS) pharmacology. Of 72 students enrolled in a required second-year pharmacology course, 22 students volunteered to play the board game, which was followed by an in-class examination consisting...

description To examine whether playing a board game can assist PharmD students in learning autonomic nervous system (ANS) pharmacology. Of 72 students enrolled in a required second-year pharmacology course, 22 students volunteered to play the board game, which was followed by an in-class examination consisting of 42 ANS questions (ANSQs) and 8 control questions (CTLQs). Participants were given a pretest and a posttest to assess immediate educational improvement. Participants' scores for pretest, posttest, in-class examination, and ANSQs were compared. Also, scores for examination, ANSQs, and CTLQs were compared between board game participants (PART) and nonparticipating classmates (NPART). Board game participants scored progressively higher between the pretest, posttest, examination, and ANSQs. Additionally, PART scores were higher than NPART scores for examination and ANSQs. Difference between PART and NPART CTLQ scores was not significant. A board game can assist PharmD students in learning ANS pharmacology.
