“…This indicates that the longer students use the internet, their attitudes tend to decrease. This study also revealed that there was no significant difference in terms of students' attitudes towards e-learning based on daily internet usage duration (Aksoy, 2021;Niroumand et al, 2022). Another possible reason for this situation may be that students use the internet more for entertainment purposes; thus, they do not see internet use as a necessity to support their online learning.…”

“…Previous studies highlighted that gender plays a significant role in e-learning attitudes (Gill et al, 2022;Özüdoğru, 2022;Sezer, 2016). It is stated that males had more favourable views towards technology use and perceived ease of use of e-learning than females (Monib, 2023;Niroumand et al, 2022). Nevertheless, no gender difference was found in earlier studies (Akcil & Bastas, 2020;Nistor, 2013).…”

“…In this context, teachers and students used learning management systems, digital tools and a variety of online resources to achieve learning goals. During the epidemic, e-learning appears to have emerged as the most popular educational model worldwide (Akcil & Bastas, 2020;Alsahou, Abbas, & Alfayly, 2022;Niroumand, Mastour, Ghalibaf, Shamshirian, & Moghadasin, 2022). Hence, COVID-19 has clearly caused digital change in education.…”

The COVID-19 epidemic has impacted higher education institutions across the country by switching traditional teaching practices to online learning. The attitudes of students towards e-learning are essential to research in order to determine the extent to which successful implementation of online learning. Thus, this research aims to evaluate the attitudes of Indonesian students towards e-learning throughout the pandemic. The study adopted a quantitative research approach through a survey questionnaire. The attitude of students was evaluated using the attitude scale towards e-learning. The questionnaire comprised 20 items assessing students’ attitudes towards remote learning. A questionnaire was distributed to 342 (255 female and 87 male) undergraduate students who took online courses at an Indonesian state university. The statistical analyses including descriptive statistics, t-tests and one-way ANOVA were used in the present study. The results suggested that students’ e-learning attitudes tend to be neutral. The t-test and ANOVA indicated that there was no statistically significant gap in students’ attitudes with respect to gender, daily internet usage time or level of COVID-19. Meanwhile, age, study year and personal computer ownership exerted a statistically significant impact on e-learning attitudes. Teachers can better prepare for the adoption of online learning during COVID-19 and beyond by using the valuable insights provided by the findings.

Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted many aspects of society, including medical education. In response to the pandemic, Romanian medical schools and universities have turned to online learning as a means of continuing instruction while maintaining social distancing protocols. While online learning in medical education was utilized prior to the pandemic, its widespread adoption has brought both challenges and opportunities to the field. The purpose of this study was to assess medical students’ perception towards implementing E-learning during COVID 19 pandemic. Material and Methods This cross-sectional multicentric study comprised 611 medical students from several medical university centers from Romania. A self-developed questionnaire was online applied between January and March 2021 and used for the evaluation and analysis of perceived changes in teaching before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results Most students (n = 71.5%) considered that the pandemic had an overall negative impact on their professional development. A significant negative correlation (p < 0.01, for all), was observed between during COVID-19 pandemic and the level of medical training, motivation to learn, and level of self-confidence. Conclusion The shift to online learning during the pandemic decreased the psychological and professional development of medical students, resulting in a low perception of self-confidence, motivation, and practical involvement. However, there are many benefits brought by the use of electronic technologies for medical education both in Romania and in the world. These benefits should be systematically evaluated, and effective strategies should be developed to permanently improve the e-learning methods of these students.

“…During the past decades, one of the primary roles of medical universities has been to train professionals and skilled human resources that are needed by society and expand research and provide a favorable environment for the development of the country. Therefore, being up-to-date and continuously reforming the educational process, especially the clinical process, can improve the quality of medical education (1,2). In detail, clinical education is the key factor in training medical students for their future role in society; therefore, its quality was always under strict supervision (3,4).…”

Background: Clinical education is known as an essential part of education in medicine and medical education. Beyond factors that can affect the quality of clinical education, academic satisfaction is a factor that can either affect or is affected by the quality of clinical education. Objectives: The present study was designed to investigate the relationship between the quality of clinical education and academic satisfaction through medical students’ viewpoints at Birjand University of Medical Science, Birjand, Iran. Methods: In the present cross-sectional study, medical students in both the externship and internship courses of Birjand University of Medical Sciences were evaluated with a self-report questionnaire. The quality of clinical education was assessed by a specific scale developed by Rezaei. Academic satisfaction was evaluated by Motlagh et al.’s questionnaire. Results: A total of 180 medical students were included in the study. The findings indicated that despite the poor quality of clinical education from the perspective of the studied medical students (P = 0.017), their academic satisfaction with the current situation was acceptable (P = 0.0001). Further correlational analysis revealed a significant relationship between the quality of clinical education and its subgroups with academic satisfaction (P < 0.01). Conclusions: It can be concluded that higher clinical education quality leads to higher levels of academic satisfaction among medical students. Therefore, this issue requires continuous revisions of the clinical education curriculum and adherence to improve its outcomes.
