Abstract

An integrating method to teach Biochemical Pharmacy Technology was developed to help students understand the technology to produce biochemical pharmacy well in this paper. By the integrating method, students can compare the main content of the biochemical pharmacy and the technology to produce them. Students were encouraged to demonstrate the connection and difference of the various biochemical pharmacies. The results showed that the performance of students with integrating method is significantly better than that of students without integrating method (p < 0.05). In conclusion, integrating method can enhance students’ performance on Biochemical Pharmacy Technology.
