Faculty overwhelmingly cited time, workload, and lack of institutional support as challenges, and stated that institutions could help e-mentors by providing support with the process, research resources, writing support, and time and incentives for e-mentoring.

{"title":"Medical School Faculty Perceptions of Online Education: Implications for the Future of Medical Education","authors":"A. Samuel, B. King, R. Cervero","doi":"10.1080/08923647.2023.2210492","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/08923647.2023.2210492","url":null,"abstract":"Many medical school faculty view the educational changes wrought by the pandemic as an aberration and are eager to return to traditional face-to-face teaching. To encourage faculty to continue with online teaching, it is important to understand medical school faculty experiences of teaching virtually during the COVID-19 shutdowns and how that has affected their perceptions of teaching. A qualitative study was undertaken at X School of Medicine (SoM), University X, to understand the barriers and motivators to medical school faculty embracing virtual teaching. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with medical school faculty who had taught courses during the 2020–2021 academic years and continued to teach in 2022. The interviews were thematically analyzed using Braun and Clarke's framework. Five themes emerged: (1) the advantages of virtual teaching, (2) the challenges of virtual teaching, (3) factors that enable virtual teaching, (4) strategies for success, and (5) the future of teaching. Faculty appreciated the flexibility provided by technology but were also challenged by the reduced interpersonal interactions in virtual teaching. Technology was also challenging in the skillsets and resources needed to use it successfully. Faculty appreciated just-in-time and personalized training, which enabled them to be more successful in virtual teaching. Faculty have come to accept that there are aspects of virtual teaching that are beneficial to learners and should be continued. There is an openness to integrating virtual teaching into the traditional format of face-to-face teaching. However, they need robust institutional support to continue online teaching in medical school.

El estudio realiza un análisis comparativo de las percepciones sobre la experiencia de aprendizaje de estudiantes universitarios de dos cursos de la misma asignatura; uno 100% virtual y otro tipo MOOC. Se aplica un cuestionario con 90 preguntas en escala Likert que se analizan con una prueba t de diferencia de medias para establecer relaciones con un nivel de significancia del 5%, y tres preguntas abiertas para las que se emplea un análisis de contendido. Se encuentra para ambas propuestas formativas que los estudiantes: percibieron claridad y calidad en los contenidos y el diseño instruccional, la valoración más alta fue para el acceso ubicuo a los materiales, y no se evidencian diferencias en su participación y motivación. Los estudiantes del curso tipo MOOC resaltan: falta de acompañamiento, que la posibilidad de seguir una trayectoria flexible no incide en el logro de los aprendizajes y no encontraron ventajas en el trabajo colaborativo propuesto. Esto se convierte en un desafío, porque asumen, por la modalidad del curso, que las actividades deben realizarse de manera individual. El diseño, la propuesta pedagógica, los recursos y contenidos son clave para la motivación y percepción de la pertinencia del proceso formativo. También lo son el acompañamiento y asesoría, aunque, como se evidencia en la literatura, en general, son asuntos por mejorar en estos cursos.","PeriodicalId":46327,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Distance Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45716099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
