Determination of the Opinions about Physiology Education of the Kırıkkale University Faculty of Veterinary Students

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the attitudes and behaviors of 2-5th grade students who have taken the physiology course at Kırıkkale University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, towards the course and how they evaluate it in terms of general, teaching method, professional competence and postgraduate education. Some demographic information and opinions of totally 233 students on physiology were gathered voluntarily through questionnaire. Accord-ingly, most of the students (62.7%) found it appropriate to be given physiology in 2nd grade, while about 53% of them found the theory and practice lecture hours sufficient. Students who considered physiology as necessary for their pro-fession (83.7%) thought that following the lesson (81.1%) in the class and the use of were necessary for learning physi-ology (90.1%), and it was determined that they allocated fewer than 4 hours per week to physiology while taking the course (89.3%). Although more than half of them (58.4%) stated that they did not have difficulty in learning physiology, the rate of those who really understand the subject was 39.9%. In addition, it was observed that 24% of them could consider specializing in physiology. As a result, it was revealed that most of the students consider the physiology course as one of the basic courses for veterinary education, they prefer visual education, the course meets their expec-tations, and most of them who want to pursue a doctorate pay attention to postgraduate education in this field. Based on these thoughts of the students, it has been concluded that understanding the importance of the homeostatic mecha-nisms, given in physiology classes, in preventive and curative medicine practices has been effective.
