Abstract
URREJOLA-CONTRERAS, Gabriela P and TISCORNIA-GONZALEZ, Caterina. Student feedback on synchronous and asynchronous tools used in health sciences in pandemic by COVID-19. FEM (Ed. impresa) [online]. 2022, vol.25, n.1, pp.39-44. Epub Mar 21, 2022. ISSN 2014-9840. https://dx.doi.org/10.33588/fem.251.1168.
Introduction.
The current pandemic scenario has promoted the rapid migration of subjects to the virtual modality and to interaction through synchronous and asynchronous technological pedagogical resources. Although students have an affinity with the use of virtual tools, it is required to collect feedback regarding strengths and weaknesses in the modality used. The objective was evaluate the structure of a morphology and physiology course in a virtual environment according to pedagogical, technological, and material and resource dimensions.
Subjects and methods.
Descriptive cross-sectional study, in which 125 students from the School of Health Sciences participated, taking the subject of Structure and Function. The subject was implemented in virtual mode on the Moodle © platform, including synchronous and asynchronous resources. Student feedback was assessed using a questionnaire and performance.
Results.
The pedagogical technological, and material dimensions used were positively evaluated, obtaining a score of 3.0 ± 0.15 However, 67% of the students considered the required temporary demand excessive and 61% would not take another subject in virtual format. The average approval was 76% and the final grades ranged between 4.4 and 5.2 for the evaluated careers.
Conclusions.
It is necessary to evaluate whether the performance obtained is consolidated in the medium term and to incorporate platform tools to monitor the time that students invest in solving activities. It is proposed to implement prior training in students on the use of the platform, as well as prioritize resources of greater synthesis and shorter duration.
