BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Online learning has been utilized in the world to continue educational activities in dentistry, which was severely affected by the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The purpose of this study was aimed to evaluate the effect of online learning during the pandemic of COVID-19 in different dental schools of different countries in Asia by the questionnaire survey.
Mantel-Haenszel chi-square tests were used to analyze the difference between dental schools with and without shutdown. A questionnaire-based online survey was used to evaluate the online learning effect on undergraduate students in 13 dental schools of 7 Asia countries and regions.
For the question that blended learning class has better learning efficiency, the agreement rate was significantly higher in the students (80.3%) from the dental schools that did not suspend face-to-face education activities than in the students (50.3%) from the dental school that was shut down.
Within the limitation of this study, it is concluded that a combination of physical and online classes in terms of blended learning courses will be the future trend for dental education.
背景/目的：在全球范围内，在线学习已被用于继续开展牙科教育活动，牙科教育受到2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行的严重影响。本研究旨在通过问卷调查评估COVID-19大流行期间亚洲不同国家不同牙科学校在线学习的效果。
采用Mantel-Haenszel卡方检验分析有停课和无停课的牙科学校之间的差异。通过基于问卷的在线调查来评估亚洲7个国家和地区的13所牙科学校中在线学习对本科生的效果。
对于混合式学习课程具有更高学习效率这一问题，未暂停面对面教育活动的牙科学校的学生（80.3%）的认同率显著高于停课的牙科学校的学生（50.3%）。
在本研究的局限性范围内，得出结论：在混合式学习课程方面，面授课程与在线课程相结合将是牙科教育的未来趋势。
