Resumen

Background: The current COVID-19 pandemic has created the largest disruption of education systems in history. The entire educational system has suffered a drastic setback during the COVID-19 pandemic, not only in India but across the globe. The pandemic situation has paved the way for the education system to evolve, with the distinctive rise of e-learning.

Methods: This Questionnaire based Cross sectional Perception survey was executed through Google forms on a 5 point Likert scale involving 100 Final year MBBS students who had been subjected to a minimum 3-4 months of online teaching. A pre-validated semi-structured self administered questionnaire with 12 items shared to study participants to assess perceptions towards online teaching.

Result: 70% of students found online teaching enjoyable but half of the students felt more distracted due to lack of interactivity and personal attention in the online sessions. One third students felt that online modalities can be used as effective learning tools in terms of better understanding, 46% felt that their use can improve academic performance. More than 40% believe that the online teaching was a temporary arrangement during the Pandemic situations and could never be a substitute for the conventional teaching.

Conclusion: The online teaching which was incorporated in medical education as a temporary arrangement during COVID era inspite of a number of challenges has succeeded to some extent in imparting the requisite knowledge. Though the e-learning may not replace the conventional teaching modalities like didactic Lectures but can play a significant role as adjuvant learning tools.
