Abstract
Background: Covid-19 pandemic has forced the medical education to switch from traditional learning to virtual learning. Many different platforms are available for virtual learning. And like any other teaching-learning method, this new method also has its pros and cons. But the important thing is how the medical students perceive this technique. Hence, the study was planned to understand the student’s perception regarding Virtual learning.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among under-graduate medical students across various medical colleges in India, via a Google form. Total 824 medical students participated in the study.
Results: Out of 824 participants, 36.2% feel that students do not listen to the virtual class attentively from start to end. 79.2% agree that there is more distraction during virtual learning and 77.1% students feel that virtual learning is boring because of lack of interaction between teacher and students. Also 47.3% students don’t think that it is easy to clear doubts during virtual learning. 77.5% agree that there are more chances of scrolling the social media during virtual learning. According to 67.7% students, only the knowledge aspect is better learnt during the virtual learning. But the 50.1% students agree that virtual learning is cost-effective and time-saving. Still, 90.9% students prefer traditional learning considering all aspects of medical education
Conclusion: Despite having certain advantages, medical students still prefer conventional method of learning to acquire different competencies, while the virtual learning remains supportive method. Many issues need to be addressed for wide acceptance of virtual learning.
