Undergraduate pharmacy students' preference for case-based learning: a discrete choice experiment in China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Understanding students' preferences is crucial for developing targeted teaching strategies and improving educational outcomes. This study aimed to investigate Chinese undergraduate pharmacy students' preferences for case-based learning (CBL).

Methods

We conducted a discrete choice experiment (DCE) to quantify preferences for CBL. Six key attributes associated with CBL preferences were identified: case modality, provider type, group size, case authenticity, case complexity, and examination format. An online questionnaire was administered to undergraduate pharmacy students from two universities in China. The data were analyzed using a mixed logit model to estimate preference weights, assess the relative importance of the attributes, and predict uptake rates. Additio
