Abstract

The "Pharmaceutics Experiment" course is a key core subject for pharmaceutical students, characterized by its strong practical component. Developing an effective experimental teaching system is crucial for cultivating high-quality, innovative talent. Establishing a teaching model focused on innovation is a vital approach to talent development. This study addresses issues in traditional teaching methods for the "Pharmaceutics Experiment" course by reforming educational concepts and integrating the OBE philosophy with the PBL approach. By centering on student engagement, guiding them through problem-based learning to foster innovation, and setting student-generated outcomes as teaching goals, this approach aims to innovate talent development models and enhance teaching quality.
