| Abstract | IntroductionS: Basic skill and understanding of pharmaceutical calculation are important principle in many pharmaceutical activities, for example, dispensing and manufacturing process, which affect the outcome of patient treatment. To improve students' ability in basic calculation of pharmaceutical concentration and preparing a desired strength of solution, this study was conducted and designed as two groups pretest-posttest quasi-experiment. The objectives of this study were to develop Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) in a topic of calculating of pharmaceutical concentration and preparing a desired strength of solution for 1st year Diploma of Public Health (Pharmacy Technique) students (n=32) at Sirindhorn College of Public Health Khon Kaen. Methods: Students were randomly allocated to 2 groups. The control group (n=16) recieved handouts and studied by lecturer. The intervention group (n=16) received handouts and CAI to studied by themselves. The outcomes were pretest, posttest and 2 weeks after posttest scores, comments and satisfaction of both groups. Results: the mean score of pretest, posttest and 2 weeks after posttest between 2 groups were not statistical different (p = 0.75, p = 0.55 and p = 0.47 respectively). Posttest score of both groups were significantly higher than pretest score (p < 0.05) same as 2 week posttest score of both groups were significantly higher than posttest score (p < 0.05). The opinion scores of pattern of learning was in a good to excellent level and overall satisfaction score of pattern of learning in control group were significantly higher than intervention group but not statistical difference (p = 0.49). On the other hand, intervention group were significantly higher score in interested CAI than traditional lecture (p < 0.05) However, Intervention group has satisfaction to CAI score was in excellent. In addition, the top 5 issues were 1) the content has sequencing and organization 2) the font size is easy to read, contrast and balance 3) images were consistent with the content 4) audio and graphic are lound and clear 5) the software is easy to use. Conclusion: Studying with CAI improves understanding in calculating of pharmaceutical concentration and preparing a desired strength of solution as same as traditional lecture. CAI lesson could be an alternative teaching method for student to improve the learning effectiveness and promoting of their self-study process. |
