Abstract

The over-enrollment in pharmacy schools has led to concern over the quality of pharmacy education and an oversupply of pharmacists. A review of educational management focused on learning outcomes visualization as a learning methodology with short tests and search queries. “Search queries” were used in Internet search engines to answer these small tests. The aggregated text data was mined and processed into a co-occurrence network diagram that revealed the “unlearned knowledge” of the learning population. Additionally, multivariate analysis based on the question categories was performed on the text-mined data. The results indicated that search targets differed by question type, and there were variations in the relationship between search frequency and correct response rate. These findings suggested that this search query system and its visualized learning outcomes could be used to identify areas for improvement in lecture contents and the quality of pharmacy education.
