Perceptions and Challenges of Medical Students Towards E-Learning in Medical Education
Objective: To assess the Perceptions and Challenges of medical students towards E-Learning in medical education.
Method: It was a descriptive cross-sectional survey that was conducted among the medical students of Bahria University Health Sciences from Jun 2022 – Sep 2022, after securing ethical approval. Google forms were used to get responses from the participants and the data was stored and analyzed using SPSS version 23.
Results: Our study showed that during lockdown, academic performance suffered when learning was done online. Univariate and multivariate study shows a connection between screen time and feeling restless, exercising less, and having lower academic achievement, although online instruction fosters a sense of connection with others.
Conclusion: More faculty and students’ developmental programs should be introduced to make using gadgets and online devices and applications easier. Universities and educational institutions should develop roadmaps to deal with similar situations in future.
Keywords: Medical Education, E-learning, Perception, Screen Time.
