Amaç: Fizyoloji, klinik bilimler öncesince insan vücudunda sistemlerle ilgili temel mekanizmaların anlaşılmasında ve hastalıklarla ilişkilendirilmesinde oldukça önemlidir. Fizyoloji kapsamının çok geniş olması nedeniyle öğrencilerin fizyoloji öğrenmekte zorlandıkları tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışma; tıp fakültesi öğrencilerinin fizyoloji eğitimi ile ilgili genel perspektiflerini değerlendirmek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Yöntem: Çalışma Haziran 2024-Temmuz 2024 tarihleri arasında toplam 138 öğrencinin katılımıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak öğrencilerin sosyodemografik bilgileriyle ilgili soruları içeren ve öğrencilerin fizyoloji dersine ilişkin görüş ve tutumlarının belirlendiği anket formları kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen veriler R tabanlı bir yazılım olan Jamovi ile analiz edilmiştir Araştırmada tanımlayıcı istatistiksel analizler kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Tüm analizlerde p<0,05 anlamlılık düzeyi olarak kabul edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 20.60±1.15 yıl, %56.5’i kadın olmakla beraber, %80.4’ü kendi isteğiyle tıp fakültesini tercih etmiştir. Öğrencilerin %54,3’ü teorik ders süresinin dersin öğrenilmesi için yeterli olduğunu, %52,9’u pratik ders süresinin dersin öğrenilmesi için yeterli olmadığını, %65,2’si pratik dersler için laboratuvar imkanlarının yeterli olmadığını, %50,7’si pratik derslerde gruplardaki öğrenci sayısının uygun olmadığını, %55.8’i fizyoloji dersini öğrenmek için derse katılmak gerektiğini, %76.1’i hekimlik için fizyoloji dersinin gerekli olduğunu belirtmişlerdir.
Sonuç: Öğrencilerin fizyoloji dersine ilişkin tutum ve davranışlarının genel olarak olumlu olduğu ancak pratik derslerle ilgili sorunların olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Uygulama derslerinde yaşanan sorunlar asistan sayısının yetersiz olması ve deneysel imkanların kısıtlılığına bağlı olabilir. Fizyoloji eğitiminin daha etkin olabilmesi için farklı öğretim tekniklerinin faydalı olabileceği düşünülmektedir. Fizyoloji lisansüstü eğitimi konusunda öğrencilere danışmanlık hizmetinin sunulması da gerekmektedir.

Abstract
Aim: Physiology is very important in understanding the basic mechanisms related to systems in the human body before clinical sciences and in associating them with diseases. It has been determined that students have difficulty in learning physiology due to the wide scope of physiology. This study was conducted to evaluate the general perspectives of medical school students regarding physiology education.
Methods: The study was conducted between June 2024 and July 2024 with the participation of a total of 138 students. In the study, survey forms containing questions about the students' sociodemographic information and determining the students' opinions and attitudes towards the physiology course were used as data collection tools. The data obtained as a result of the research was analyzed with Jamovi, an R-based software. The research was evaluated using descriptive statistical analyses. In all analyses, p<0.05 was accepted as the significance level.
Results: 54.3% of the students stated that the theoretical course duration was sufficient to learn the course, 52.9% stated that the practical course duration was not sufficient to learn the course, 65.2% stated that the laboratory facilities were not sufficient for practical courses, 50.7% stated that the number of students in groups was not appropriate in practical courses, 55.8% stated that it was necessary to attend the course to learn the physiology course, and 76.1% stated that the physiology course was necessary for becoming a physician.
Conclusion: It was determined that the students' attitudes and behaviors towards the physiology course were generally positive, but there were problems with the practical courses. The problems experienced in the practical courses may be due to the insufficient number of assistants and the limited experimental opportunities. It is thought that different teaching techniques may be useful for physiology education to be more effective.
