Resumen

GUTIERREZ MAYDATA, Buenaventura Alfredo et al. Medical students' appreciation of distance education during COVID-19. EDUMECENTRO [online]. 2023, vol.15  Epub 30-Sep-2023. ISSN 2077-2874.

Background:

the Medicine degree at Villa Clara University of Medical Sciences was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which made it necessary to temporarily dispense with face-to-face teaching and move towards distance learning.

Objective:

to analyze the appreciation of Medicine students on the results of distance learning imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, in the 2020-2021 academic year.

Methods:

a descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out from May to June 2021 at the Faculty of Medicine. Theoretical methods were used for the foundation of the investigation; empirical ones: questionnaire to students; and statistical-mathematical for percentage values.

Results:

despite the fact that most of the students reported good criteria about distance learning, 5.1% gave a Bad rating, while 9.4% considered this experience as average. Among the main difficulties, they expressed dissatisfaction with the programs implemented for the subjects, the non-availability of the university's virtual classroom for technical reasons, the insufficient preparation of teachers to assume this modality and the non-systematic evaluation of teaching tasks, which led to loss of interest in the study. The number of students who had devices with internet connectivity was considered positive.

Conclusions:

although the results showed a positive evaluation of distance learning, this experience generated valid suggestions aimed at improving it with the implementation of strategies based on scientific evidence.
