Abstract
ObjectiveTo evaluate the learning satisfaction and find influencing factors on online learning in medical students from Zhejiang University during COVID-19 pandemic for improving the online learning.
MethodsFrom April to May 2020, 201 undergraduates, graduate candidates for master and doctor degree from Zhejiang University School of Medicine were investigated by questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, χ2 test and ordinal polytomous logistic regression were used in the analysis of results.
ResultsIt was found that 27.9% (56/201) and 40.3% (81/201) of students were very satisfied or relatively satisfied with online learning respectively. Ordinal polytomous logistic regression analysis showed that educational category and majors were independent factors affecting online learning satisfaction. The online learning satisfaction of candidates for professional master degree was 3.734 times higher than that of candidates for academic doctor degree (OR=3.734, P=0.049), while the satisfaction of candidates for academic master degree is 7.808 times higher than that of candidates for academic doctor degree (OR=7.808, P=0.004).
ConclusionsDuring COVID-19 pandemic, medical students are generally satisfied with online learning. Educational category is the key factor affecting their online learning satisfaction. Candidates for professional master degree, academic master degree show higher satisfaction with online learning, suggesting that online teaching should be adjusted according to different educational category, so as to further improve the learning outcomes of online teaching.
