Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has affected educational institutions worldwide. The established face-to-face education has been converted to online education; therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate and compare the perception of dental students and academicians on online education and the challenges they face due to online education. A cross-sectional questionnaire study was conducted among dental students and academicians of eight dental colleges in the state of Telangana. A self-designed and validated 38-item questionnaire was distributed among dental students and academicians, and the collected data were subjected to descriptive statistics. A Chi-square test was applied to check the association between the perception of dental students and academicians. Among 635 dental students, 79.7% believed that online education was the safest way during the pandemic, and 80.8% believed that online education focused on developing theoretical knowledge rather than practical skills. Among 136 dental academicians, 91.8% believed that online education negatively impacted student participation and productivity. There is a significant difference in the perceptions between dental students and academicians toward online education. Online education is a boon in many fields during the pandemic, but this mode alone will not serve the purpose of dental education.

大流行期间的在线教育 "是福是祸" - 牙科学院院士和学生的观点 - 一项横断面研究

2019年冠状病毒疾病的大流行影响了全球的教育机构。既有的面对面教育已转变为在线教育；因此，本研究旨在评估和比较牙科学生和院士对在线教育的看法以及他们因在线教育而面临的挑战。本研究对特兰干纳州八所牙科学院的牙科学生和院士进行了横向问卷调查。向牙科学生和院士发放了一份自行设计并经过验证的 38 个项目的调查问卷，并对收集到的数据进行了描述性统计。在 635 名牙科学生中，79.7% 的人认为在线教育是大流行期间最安全的方式，80.8% 的人认为在线教育侧重于培养理论知识而非实践技能。在 136 名口腔医学院士中，91.8% 的人认为在线教育对学生的参与和工作效率产生了负面影响。口腔医学学生和院士对在线教育的看法存在明显差异。在线教育是大流行期间许多领域的福音，但仅靠这种模式并不能达到口腔医学教育的目的。
