| Popis: | Introduction As educators, we have the opportunity to produce experiential-ready, practice-ready, and career-ready practitioners. Student attitudes and values influence how learned knowledge and skills will be enacted, and therefore are key determinants of career-readiness. However, attitudes and values can be challenging to see and measure in learners. In this commentary, the authors propose purposeful selection and application of an educational framework to foster those less tangible, but powerful, factors. Perspective To illustrate this perspective, authors describe key components of the Absorb-Do-Connect learning framework and provide rationale for the framework's alignment with self-efficacy theory. The authors propose that Absorb-Do-Connect can be applied within pharmacy education to design learning activities that establish relevance in learning and subsequently foster self-efficacy through growth in attitudes and values. Implications The Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education Standards emphasize connecting current education to past experiences and future practice to establish relevance in learning. In this manner, authors suggest Absorb-Do-Connect can be used by schools and colleges of pharmacy to inform new innovations and revise existing coursework to meet the standards. Opportunity exists to formally assess the relationship between absorbing, engaging with and purposely connecting knowledge and skills, and the development of self-efficacy in student pharmacists. |
