Students at the Monastir Faculty of Dental Medicine were required to remain inside during the COVID-19 pandemic for their own safety and in accordance with official directives. It is evident that learners' perceptions are a recognized indicator of the efficiency of any teaching approach. Therefore, we focused on students' input on the validity of online biochemistry laboratories to assure their preferences with the finest teaching approaches. The study included 116 undergraduate dental students from the Faculty of Dental Medicine of Monastir. The survey has 40 questions. This investigation covered (i) information technology tool accessibility, (ii) course presentation, interactions in a virtual classroom, teachers' availability, and (iii) preferred learning styles. The percentages were then determined for each item and assessed. Our results showed that almost students were equipped with computers, smartphones and tablets but have encountered some connectivity issues. Moreover, participants find courses well presented, approved class interactions, and were satisfied with teachers' availability. Nevertheless, students were not already prepared for entirely online learning. Despite, the overall positive perception among students toward remote education during the COVID-19 outbreak; they preferred considering shared learning between face-to-face and online once the pandemic is over.
在新冠肺炎疫情期间，为了自身安全并遵循官方指令，莫纳斯提尔牙科学院的学生被要求待在室内。显然，学习者的看法是任何教学方法有效性的公认指标。因此，我们关注学生对在线生物化学实验室有效性的看法，以确保他们对最佳教学方法的偏好。该研究包括来自莫纳斯提尔牙科学院的116名本科牙科学生。该调查有40个问题。这项调查涵盖了：（i）信息技术工具的可及性；（ii）课程呈现、虚拟课堂中的互动、教师的可及性；以及（iii）偏好的学习方式。然后确定每个项目的百分比并进行评估。我们的结果表明，几乎所有学生都配备了电脑、智能手机和平板电脑，但遇到了一些连接问题。此外，参与者认为课程呈现良好，认可课堂互动，并对教师的可及性感到满意。然而，学生们尚未为完全在线学习做好准备。尽管在新冠肺炎疫情爆发期间，学生们对远程教育总体上持积极看法；但他们希望在疫情结束后，考虑采用面对面和在线相结合的混合式学习。
