Digitisation in the education of future doctors was still in its infancy before the Covid pandemic. For the successful implementation of digital teaching, students need the technical equipment and the necessary skills to use it in a meaningful way. Furthermore, it requires a willingness to adapt the learning environment and to take responsibility for self-directed learning. At the beginning of 2020, faculties were forced to convert all teaching to digital formats. Initial research shows that students prefer face-to-face teaching. To determine whether medical students were prepared for digital studies and what should be considered for the future, we analysed surveys at the beginning of online studies and after two Corona semesters at a medical faculty. We were able to show that although our students had good technology equipment, they had a rather negative attitude towards online teaching for various reasons and developed negative emotions. Deficits in design of educational material, and personal learning habits raised concern. A lack of guidance and a lack of interaction with fellow students contributed to this. Adjustments in these areas will be necessary in the future to provide students with positive access to digital studies and thus increase learning success.
在新冠疫情之前,未来医生教育中的数字化尚处于起步阶段。为了成功实施数字化教学,学生需要技术设备以及以有意义的方式使用它的必要技能。此外,这需要愿意调整学习环境并对自主学习负责。2020年初,各学院被迫将所有教学转换为数字形式。初步研究表明,学生更喜欢面对面教学。为了确定医学生是否为数字化学习做好了准备以及未来应考虑哪些因素,我们分析了一所医学院在线学习开始时以及两个新冠学期后的调查。我们能够表明,尽管我们的学生拥有良好的技术设备,但由于各种原因,他们对在线教学持相当消极的态度,并产生了负面情绪。教学材料设计方面的不足以及个人学习习惯引发了担忧。缺乏指导以及与同学缺乏互动加剧了这种情况。未来有必要在这些方面进行调整,以便为学生提供积极参与数字化学习的途径,从而提高学习成功率。
