Journal Title: Kocatepe Medical Journal - Year 2023, Vol 24, Issue 3
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: In our study, it was aimed to investigate the difficulties faced by students who took the anatomy lesson with distance education during the Covid-19 pandemic period, their ability to adapt, the advantages-disadvantages of distance education, and its relationship with learning success. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 560 students studying in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades of Balıkesir University, Faculty of Medicine were included in our study, but 399 (71.25%) of these students participated in the study. A feedback form developed by the researchers and a psychometric questionnaire were applied to the participants by scanning the literature. The data were analyzed and interpreted. RESULTS: The mean age of the students participating in our study was found to be 20.57±2.21. Mean exam success scores were calculated as 79.20±10.30 in first grades, 62.30±19.16 in second grades, 52.45±14.64 in third grades and 57.48±15.30 in fourth grades, respectively. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the average achievement score of the first-year students who received online distance education was higher than the other groups in a statistically significant way. While 45.9% of the students participating in our research stated that the anatomy education should be face-to-face after the Covid-19 pandemic, 3.8% of the students stated that it should be given as distance education. CONCLUSIONS: As a result of our study, although it was determined that the students were more successful in online anatomy education, the majority of the students preferred face-to-face anatomy lessons. In cases where distance education is required, we believe that carrying on the theoretical lessons of anatomy education online but carrying on the practical lessons face-to-face will contribute positively to the success of the anatomy education.
