We support you to build a self-learning attitude in terms of both equipment and operation.
In the Faculty of Pharma-Science, each student is using ICT equipment to create an environment where they can study on their own. In addition, we provide detailed learning support in terms of both equipment and operation, such as providing various information for students' learning and setting up a Research Center for Pharmaceutical Education for individual learning consultation.
Education utilizing ICT
Introduced ICT equipment in 2012 and used it for classes Since 2012, the Faculty of Pharma-Science has provided an environment for independent learning with the "learning support system (iPad had been used until 2018 students, and various ICT devices such as PCs, iPads, and smartphones has been implemented since 2019 students)". For example, the printed materials used in the classes are converted into data and distributed online in association with the syllabus. Students can print these materials by themselves, or browse and manage them with ICT equipment.
Achievement to goals with a self-learning application Students can use ICT equipment to answer questions in the same format as the CBT, and check the correct answers and explanations. It can be used from the 1st year, and Students can check their academic ability according to the level of the their current grade while grasping the goal to be achieved in 6 years. In addition, questions in the application can be extracted by keywords and name of lecture subjects. And students can firmly establish the acquired knowledges since the system is devised to avoid simple memorization.
Learning support system
learning support
In Faculty of Pharma-Science, learning is supported mainly by the faculty members of the Learning Support Committee and the Pharmaceutical Education Promotion Center (Learning Promotion Unit and School Attendance Support Unit). For students in the lower grades, we will provide guidance on rational and effective learning methods as Faculty of Pharma-Science students, support for the creation of study plans, and provide opportunities for supplementary exercises in subjects where sufficient academic skills are not acquired, and improve basic academic skills. We are working to raise the level of education and promote self-directed learning. For upper-year students, we offer a variety of programs to improve the comprehensive academic ability of students, such as providing questions in the CBT format of the pharmacy common exam prepared independently by faculty members of Faculty of Pharma-Science Pharmacy, questions related to the national pharmacist exam, and planning supplementary lessons. We are working on it. In addition, the Learning Promotion Unit of the Pharmaceutical Education Promotion Center (University Building Main Building 7th floor) and the School Attendance Support Unit (Building No. 2, 1st floor) have set up a study consultation space, and study consultations are also available for those who wish to do so.
life support We have established a homeroom teacher system in which a full-time faculty member of Senior Assistant Professor level or higher provides individual support for each student in the small number of students. Students in grades 1 to 3 are supported by their homeroom teacher, and students in grades 4 to 6 are supported by the faculty member of their assigned laboratory. . In addition, we provide detailed support tailored to the needs of each student by receiving consultations at the Student Support Office of the Center for Medical Education and Research (university building main building basement 1st floor).
Future outlook
We intend further reinforcement for the learning environment and support system, such as video distribution of lectures and Pharmaceutical English apps. In the Faculty of Pharma-Science, in order to cultivate students' self-improvement ability and learning attitude, we intend further enhancement for the learning environment and support system without being satisfied with the current situation.
