Abstract
This study was conducted as part of a curricular reform process in Faculty of Medicine (FOM), King Abdul Aziz University Jeddah Saudi Arabia. It explored the perspective of FOM stakeholders on the challenges and factors in the teaching and learning domains that are affecting achieving learning outcomes. Faculty teaching in the second and third year, students in third and fourth year, and administrative personnel were included. An electronic survey was created. Chi-Squared test for independence was used to test the association between the correspondent group and different statements. Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA was used to examine the differences in medians among the questions utilizing ranks to evaluate different questions, followed by post hoc pairwise comparison with Bonferroni-corrected alpha. A strong association was seen between the correspondent level and perspective on time allocated for modules and vertical integration of the curriculum. Among the most highly ranked challenges for using various teaching strategies were the loaded curricula content and the limitation of time, with an overall median rank of 8. Student readiness and motivation were also significant factors, however, students considered motivation less of a challenge. Continuous assessment of factors affecting teaching and learning will bridge gaps in curriculum.
