Effectiveness of Online Teaching in Covid Lockdown Dental Students Viewpoint

The dreadful COVID 19 has seriously affected the education system globally. New technology of learning through online has become a substitute to solve this situation partly. The present study has been done to analyse the perceptions of dental students who pursued their course through online teaching. 76 students 61 girls, 15 boys of age 17 20 years, participated in the study. After taking informed consent, a self administered questionnaire was circulated by google forms. The results were represented graphically. Majority of the students expressed the need for a crash course revision in a traditional method. They opined that the online teaching made them difficult to understand the concepts. Many felt physically isolated and were not satisfied with the online teaching. Most of the students replied that teachers' feedback and availability helped to clarify their doubts. Only few students agreed for a blended learning approach post COVID. It can be concluded that most of the students were inclined to the traditional classroom teaching when compared to online teaching. Dr. Ravi Sunder. R | Dr. Neelima. P | Dr. Vijayalakshmi.
