Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of active learning process of the particular central nervous stimulant topic in the Organic Pharmaceutical Chemistry Course II, academic year 1/2013 through learning management system (LMS). An LMS provides course materials, quizzes and problem sets for this topic. This study compares the test and exam scores and also evaluates the quality of the test and exam. The results found that the average pretest, posttest and midterm scores of the students were 5.59+2.31, 7.05+2.31 and 4.00+0.35, the total scores of 10 and 15 points, respectively. The quality of posttest and midterm examination and was evaluated using item analysis software. The difficulty index (p) and discriminative power (r) of the posttest and midterm examination were in the range of p= 0.50-0.99, r=0.03-1.00 and p=0.11-0.71, r=0.10-0.60, respectively. Except for pretest and posttest, only 22 percent of registered students were participated in the learning activities through LMS. Other strategies are needed to encourage and motivate the active learning for pharmacy students.
