To determine the challenges, effectiveness, level of reception and acceptance of E-learning by students (learners) and faculty (educators) in a medical college during the lockdown period of the COVID-19 pandemic.
An online questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was conducted among learners and educators at AIIMS, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India, in the month of August 2020. A total of 203 learners and 24 educators participated in the study. The link of the Google form containing the questionnaire was sent to the students and teachers, and the responses obtained were analyzed with SPSS software (version 20).
Two hundred three MBBS students and twenty-four faculty members participated in the study. In our study, 34.5% (n=70) learners and 62.5% (n=15) educators preferred supplementation of E-learning with conventional mode of pedagogy in the future. There was a significant correlation between the convenience and the effectiveness of E-learning. Both learners and educators considered E-learning to be moderately effective. The major problems faced by the educators while conducting online sessions were network issues, difficulty in conducting practicals, lack of controlled environment, and lack of attentiveness by the learners. More than half of the students were satisfied with the E-learning provided by the institute. Educators found E-learning to be moderately convenient, whereas they felt conventional classroom teaching is highly convenient.
Educators and learners were quick to adapt to the online mode of learning but the shift was mired with initial challenges. There is a requirement of capacity building in terms of skill development and digital infrastructure building to ensure seamless and effective E-learning.
确定在2019年冠状病毒病疫情封锁期间,医学院校的学生(学习者)和教师(教育工作者)在电子学习方面面临的挑战、有效性、接受程度和认可程度。
2020年8月,在印度奥里萨邦布巴内斯瓦尔的全印医学科学研究所,对学习者和教育工作者进行了一项基于在线问卷的横断面研究。共有203名学习者和24名教育工作者参与了该研究。包含问卷的谷歌表单链接发送给了学生和教师,并使用SPSS软件(版本20)对获得的回复进行了分析。
203名医学学士学生和24名教师参与了该研究。在我们的研究中,34.5%(n = 70)的学习者和62.5%(n = 15)的教育工作者倾向于在未来用传统教学模式补充电子学习。电子学习的便利性和有效性之间存在显著相关性。学习者和教育工作者都认为电子学习有一定效果。教育工作者在进行在线课程时面临的主要问题是网络问题、进行实践操作困难、缺乏可控环境以及学习者注意力不集中。超过一半的学生对学院提供的电子学习感到满意。教育工作者认为电子学习有一定便利性,而他们觉得传统课堂教学非常便利。
教育工作者和学习者很快适应了在线学习模式,但这种转变一开始面临诸多挑战。在技能发展和数字基础设施建设方面需要进行能力建设,以确保电子学习的无缝衔接和有效性。
