“…Figure 1 highlights the five pillars of digital tools (FPDT) that are used to enhance engagement, motivation, and activity among students within higher education. Educators integrate digital tools such as virtual learning environments, gaming, and social media into their academic activities, as today's students are more reliant on technology for learning than previous generations [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] (Figure 1).

Pharmacology is a distinct discipline and offers core knowledge to broaden student programs in the provision of health care (medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and others) as well as research-oriented programs (biosciences and biomedical). Therefore, knowledge and information on topics such as prescribing medication, drug interactions, dosage adjustments, and the correct drug dose calculation for medicine are essential for preventing and reducing medication errors, which is a key element in patient safety. Recently, many institutions have been trying to enhance their quality of teaching, as students demand support and success in their studies. Pharmacology is a highly challenging interdisciplinary topic, and requires a huge effort from both educators and students to achieve the best outcomes. Therefore, creating an effective environment to support students’ learning in pharmacology courses is essential to improving students’ engagement, success and learning outcomes. In recent decades, the landscape of education has changed, and distance learning has skyrocketed. This manuscript intends to discuss and highlight the importance of student engagement in higher education in pharmacology courses. Additionally, this paper spotlights and presents a review of recent studies focusing on student engagement in pharmacology courses and possible methods for enhancing and inspiring student engagement in pharmacology courses.

“…The active teaching methods and their antecedents Active teaching methods are those that put students at the center of the teaching and learning processes and encourage them to actively participate in the education activities (Prince and Felder, 2007). Such methods have been strongly advocated in recent decades since they can help students develop their reflective, critical and collaborative skills as well as help increase their motivation, satisfaction and academic achievement (Hwang et al, 2015;McEnroe-Petitte and Farris, 2020;Yew and Goh, 2016).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the adoption of the active learning and teaching methods by university lecturers, taking into account the contribution of certain important factors, including trust, empowerment, thinking styles and emotional intelligence. In addition, this study further reveals the diverse nature of university lecturers with regards to their tendencies to adopt active teaching methods using the segmentation technique of marketing.Design/methodology/approachA structured survey was implemented with university lecturers in Hanoi (Vietnam), obtaining a sample of 218 respondents from six universities. Descriptive analysis was carried out to identify the extent of the adoption of these methods. In addition, cluster analysis and analysis of variance were computed to extract and define the segments of university lecturers.FindingsThe findings show that the lecturers, on average, had a tendency to apply active teaching methods. However, the extent of the application of these methods differed among four clusters: “conservatives,” “liberals,” “junior conservatives” and “junior liberals.” In addition, it was found that the degree to which active methods were applied may have been affected by the lecturers' trust in and their empowerment of the students. The application of active methods may also have been influenced by various covert characteristics of the lecturers, including thinking styles (cognition-based) and emotional intelligence (affect-based). The lecturers' overt characteristics, such as age, education and experience, may also have affected their application of active methods, while biological sex seems not to have been a significant factor.Originality/valueThe results of this study expand the literature by explaining the diversity of university lecturers from the perspective of the active teaching and learning methods. They also provide implications for the management of education reform based on the varied implementation of the said methods that has already taken place.

Aborda-se nesse artigo o desenvolvimento de tecnologias com adoção de interfaces naturais aplicadas à educação em espaços museais. O objetivo geral do estudo foi o desenvolvimento de soluções para ampliar a experiência de aprendizagem dos visitantes do MOVI - Museu Oceanográfico Univali - por meio de tecnologias interativas. A metodologia pautou-se no Design Science Research que legitima o desenvolvimento de artefatos como um meio para se produzir conhecimento científico. Por meio desta metodologia, levantaram-se as necessidades educativas do MOVI, desenvolveu-se um jogo de simulação e avaliou-se o produto junto ao público-alvo – visitantes do museu. O Ocean Simulator foi dessa forma concebido como um simulador de vida marinha que adota interface touch que considera fatores bióticos como cadeia alimentar, pirâmide de energia e limite populacional e abióticos, como a interferência humana por meio da pesca. O software foi experienciado pela equipe técnica e visitantes do MOVI, e mostrou-se promissor para implantação no espaço tecnológico educativo do museu.
