Description
Marwa Madi and co-authors compare, in a 2024 study, dental students' views of virtual learning against traditional classroom teaching. The pandemic pushed dental schools online, and schools still need to know which format students actually accept for which subjects. Satisfaction shapes attendance, effort, and outcomes.
A cross sectional survey went to all students at one college of dentistry, across preclinical and clinical years, through an online form. Questions were drawn from validated blended learning survey tools. The response rate was 93 percent, with 313 students answering. Third year preclinical students showed a strong preference, 87 percent, for traditional learning over virtual. Hands on subjects are hard to move online convincingly, which likely drives that split. The full results map where virtual learning is tolerated and where students want the classroom, guiding how schools should blend the two.
