ACS MEDICAL COLLEGE STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION OF THEIR EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT DURING PANDEMIC TIMES.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to use the Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM) scale to determine the perceptions of the second batch (reformed curriculum) of medical graduates on the educational environment at the College of ACS Medical College. This surveybased research may be used to answer any EE-related issues. SPSS was used to examine the data. A total of 155 students took part in the research. Female pupils were more engaged than male classmates. Female students had a greater view of learning, professors, academic self-perception, and social self-perception than male students, while male students had a higher opinion of the atmosphere than female students. The overall impression of the educational environment among students was positive. This study was necessary to assess students' perceptions of the learning environment among medical graduates of the reformed curriculum and to make recommendations for curricular improvements. We expect to see more online teaching approaches integrated into traditional medical education after COVID-19. This might be related to the trend toward virtual consultations in medical practice.
