“…2 local studies showed fairly similar results: 90.5/200 in the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy of Rabat (Belayachi et al, 2015) Among the subscale scores, students' perception of learning was lowest in our study (36.2%). This is fairly close to the score of 38.3% reported by Andalib (Andalib et al, 2015) and of 39.58% reported by Till (Till, 2004), but lower than the score of 71.7% (34.42/48) reported by Vaughan (Vaughan et al, 2014).…”

Introduction: Studies concur that an optimal learning environment is a vital aspect for effective learning and for enhancing students’ well-being. Conversely, medical training is reported to be a suboptimal environment, thereby compromising students’ learning and well-being.Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between students’ perceptions of the educational environment and their mental health.Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive and analytical study, using the GHQ-12 and the DREEM questionnaires, with 380 students from the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy of Marrakech (3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th year), during the academic year 2017-2018. Results: We recruited 358 students in a period of 2 weeks, achieving a response rate of 94.2%. There was a predominance of females (66.48%). The mean age was 22.20 ± 2.149 years. The average GHQ score was 6.37 ± 3.484, with a psychological distress rate of 66.76%. The mean total score of DREEM was 86.5 ± 29.194 which indicates the existence of several significant problems. There was a statistically significant association between the poor perception of the educational environment and psychological distress.Conclusion: Improving the educational environment and promoting deep learning approaches for medical students will improve their psychological health during medical training.

BACKGROUND A study to assess the educational environment of a Medical College in Kerala to identify problem areas with a view to improve academic achievement of the students. The aim of the study is to assess the students' perception about Educational environment of a Medical college in Kerala. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two batches of Medical students were randomly selected for doing the study using DREEM (Dundee Ready Educational Environmental Measure)-a tool to measure educational climate. 1 Out of 200 students in these batches 150 students participated in the study. Those who were absent on the day of data collection and those who were not willing to participate were excluded from the study. The perception score is considered as positive if it is above 50% of the maximum possible score. When the score is between 25% and 50% it indicates that the educational environment needs improvement. Scoring below 25% indicates a very poor educational environment. Settings and Design-A Cross Sectional study was conducted in one of the Medical Colleges in Kerala. Statistical Analysis-Descriptive statistics and Chi-square test. RESULTS Most of the students participated in the study (77.33%) perceived their educational environment as positive. No significant difference was observed between male students and female students. Junior students' perception was significantly better when compared to senior students. CONCLUSION The educational environment of the medical college is perceived as positive by most of students.

“…Factors associated with low scores in these studies were the use of a traditional curriculum instead of a modern curriculum that includes problem-based learning or system-based learning (11,14). The more senior classes were more likely to give lower scores (10,13,15) in environments where teachers are perceived to be authoritarian (10). Most surveys usually get an average of between 101 and150, meaning more positive than negative responses, as was described in a systematic review of DREEM studies by Chan et al (16).…”

Objective: To assess the learning environment at the School of Medicine of the University of Nairobi using the Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure(DREEM) tool. Methods: A cross-sectional survey carried in 2019 out among medical students during their clinical years to obtain their perceptions about the learning environment at the School of Medicine of the University of Nairobi. The DREEM tool was used for the survey. Data were entered and analyzed in SPSS version19. Comparisons were performed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). p≤0.05 was consideredstatistically significant. Results: We obtained 619 responses (77.4%) from 800 tools distributed. The total mean score of DREEM was 93.3/200. This is a 46.7%score overall indicating a poor perception of the learning environment. Year IV was the class with the poorest perception with a p<0.05. Conclusion: The DREEM score shows numerous problems, with perception of learning and social support being the areas requiring themost improvement. Although teachers are knowledgeable, students are wary of their ability to transfer knowledge and skills. Keywords: Learning environment, DREEM, Medical students
