Opinions Of Students’ And Faculty Members’ About Special Study Modules In Ege University Faculty Of Medicine

Year 2005, Volume: 20 Issue: 20, 37 - 45, 01.03.2005

Abstract

Background: Special Study Moduls (SSMs) were introduced as a part of the new medical undergraduate curriculum at Ege University Faculty of Medicine in September 2004. The aims of this study are evaluation of students’ and faculty members’ opinions on SSMs and to give suggestions for improving of SSMs. Methods: This is a descriptive study. Study data were collected from students and faculty members, who participated in SSMs from September 2004 to June 2005. Feedback forms were developed for students and faculty members. Students’ feedback form included in seven titles was scored with 9 scales (1: worst, 9: best). Faculty members’ feedback form included in eight titles was scored with Likert scale (1: disagree, 5: agree). Data were grouped for evaluation. Results: 294 students and 63 faculty members gave feedback about effectiveness of SSMs. Percentage of students, who gave 6 and upper scores in feedback forms, differ between 80.7 % and 93.2%. Percentage of faculty members, who gave 4 and upper scores in feedback forms, differ between 70.8% and 100%. There is a significant difference in student scores between genders. Male students gave higher scores for a feedback title related to meet students’ expectations by trainers than female students (Chi- Square: 8.257, p: 0.016). Conclusion: Students and faculty members stated that SSMs were very enjoyable and beneficial according to study results. Perceptions and opinions of students and faculty members are positively about SSMs. SSMs should be included in curriculum design for supporting lifelong learning and gaining transferable skills.

Ege Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesinde Uygulanan Özel Çalışma Modülleri İle İlgili Öğrenci ve Öğretim Üyesi Görüşleri

Year 2005, Volume: 20 Issue: 20, 37 - 45, 01.03.2005

Abstract

Gerekçe: Özel Çalışma Modülü (ÖÇM) uygulamalarına ilişkin öğretim üyesi ve öğrenci geri bildirimlerinin değerlendirilmesi ve uygulamaların etkinliğinin arttırılmasına yönelik öneriler geliştirmek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipte olan bu araştırmanın verileri, Eylül 2004 - Haziran 2005 döneminde ÖÇM’leri yürüten öğretim üyeleri ve katılan öğrencilerden alınan geri bildirimlerden derlenmiştir. Öğrenci geri bildirim formu 9’lu ölçek ile değerlendirilen (1: en kötü, 9: en iyi) 7 başlıktan, öğretim üyesi geri bildirim formu ise 5’li Likert Skalası ile değerlendirilen (1: kesinlikle katılmıyorum, 5: kesinlikle katılıyorum) 8 başlıktan oluşmuştur. Veriler gruplanarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırmada 294 öğrenci ve 63 öğretim üyesinden alınan geri bildirimler değerlendirilmiştir. Geri bildirim başlıklarına 6 ve üzerinde puan veren öğrencilerin oranı %80.7 ile %93.2 iken öğretim üyelerinden geri bildirim başlıklarına 4 ve üzerinde puan verenlerin oranı %70.8 ile %100 arasında değişmektedir. Öğrenci geri bildiriminde yer alan “Eğiticiler beklentilerimi karşıladı” başlığında erkek öğrenciler kızlardan daha fazla 6 ve üzerinde puan vererek anlamlı fark yaratmışlardır (Ki-Kare: 8.257, p: 0.016). Sonuç: Bu araştırmanın verileri EÜTF’de ilk kez uygulanan ÖÇM’lerinin öğrenciler ve öğretim üyeleri tarafından memnuniyetle karşılandığını göstermiştir. Eğitim programı geliştirmede çekirdek müfredatın yanı sıra yaşam boyu öğrenmeyi destekleyici ve transfer edilebilir becerileri geliştirici ÖÇM’ lere yer verilmesi önemlidir.
