To investigate the impact of associating classroom learning of medical physiology with a Facebook group page in an all-women medical college of a conservative small city in Pakistan.
Qualitative interpretivist study using semi-structured interviews.
Women Medical College Abbottabad, Pakistan, from March to December 2014.
Aclosed Facebook study group was established at a local medical college in Pakistan. It was used to upload learning resources and initiate discussions, coordinated with classroom lectures of physiology. Thirteen semistructured interviews were conducted with volunteer students according to a standard protocol.
Five major themes were identified. Facebook group is something new and exciting; it motivated self-study, research, collaborative learning and improved class attendance. Convenience of easily accessible resources allowed the students to concentrate on the lecture rather than note taking. It was easier to communicate with the instructor through Facebook than face to face. Lurkers were also learning. High achievers who had adapted to the current didactic system of teaching were less receptive of the collaborative learning and favored teaching geared towards exam preparation.
Using social media for e-learning in undergraduate medical education can enhance the student learning experience, especially in resource-limited regions where Information and communication technology is not an integrated part of the teaching process.
在巴基斯坦一个保守小城市的女子医学院，研究将医学生理学课堂学习与Facebook群组页面相结合的影响。
采用半结构化访谈的定性解释主义研究。
2014年3月至12月，巴基斯坦阿伯塔巴德女子医学院。
在巴基斯坦一所当地医学院建立了一个封闭的Facebook学习群组。该群组用于上传学习资源并发起讨论，与生理学课堂讲座相配合。按照标准方案对13名志愿学生进行了半结构化访谈。
确定了五个主要主题。Facebook群组新颖且令人兴奋；它激发了自主学习、研究、协作学习并提高了课堂出勤率。易于获取资源的便利性使学生能够专注于讲座而不是记笔记。通过Facebook与教师交流比面对面交流更容易。潜水者也在学习。适应当前传统教学体系的成绩优异者对协作学习的接受度较低，更喜欢针对考试准备的教学方式。
在本科医学教育中使用社交媒体进行电子学习可以增强学生的学习体验，尤其是在信息和通信技术并非教学过程一部分的资源有限地区。
