The purpose of this survey was to assess medical students' opinions about online learning programs and their preferences for specific teaching formats during COVID 19 pandemic.
Between May and July 2020, medical students who took an online gynecology and obstetrics course were asked to fill in a questionnaire anonymously. The questionnaire solicited their opinions about the course, the teaching formats used (online lectures, video tutorials featuring real patient scenarios, and online practical skills training), and digital learning in general.
Of 103 students, 98 (95%) submitted questionnaires that were included in the analysis. 84 (86%) students had no problem with the online course and 70 (72%) desired more online teaching in the future. 37 (38%) respondents preferred online to traditional lectures. 72 (74%) students missed learning with real patients. All digital teaching formats received good and excellent ratings from > 80% of the students.
The survey results show medical students' broad acceptance of the online course during COVID 19 pandemic and indicates that digital learning options can partially replace conventional face-to-face teaching. For content taught by lecture, online teaching might be an alternative or complement to traditional education. However, bedside-teaching remains a key pillar of medical education.
本调查旨在评估医学生对在线学习项目的看法,以及他们在 COVID-19 大流行期间对特定教学形式的偏好。
2020 年 5 月至 7 月期间,参加在线妇产科学课程的医学生被要求匿名填写问卷。问卷征求了他们对该课程、使用的教学形式(在线讲座、真实患者情景的视频教程和在线实践技能培训)以及数字学习的总体看法。
在 103 名学生中,有 98 名(95%)提交了包含在分析中的问卷。84 名(86%)学生对在线课程没有问题,70 名(72%)学生希望未来有更多的在线教学。37 名(38%)受访者更喜欢在线教学而不是传统讲座。72 名(74%)学生错过了与真实患者一起学习的机会。所有数字教学形式都获得了超过 80%的学生的良好和优秀评价。
调查结果表明,医学生在 COVID-19 大流行期间广泛接受在线课程,并且表明数字学习选项可以部分替代传统的面对面教学。对于通过讲座教授的内容,在线教学可能是传统教育的替代或补充。然而,床边教学仍然是医学教育的重要支柱。
