ABSTRACT

AIM: To determine the students' satisfaction with the three teaching modes in the contact lens course and provide suggestions to improve teaching quality.METHODS: We conducted a survey at Tianjin Medical University in June 2021 using the Students' Evaluations of Educational Quality(SEEQ)questionnaire. We used descriptive statistics to analyze SEEQ items and the One-way ANOVA was used to determine differences in scores among the three modes.RESULTS: Among the 221 valid responses collected, 87(39.4%)respondents were males and 134(60.6%)were females. The total scores were 151.46(12.45), 148.71(13.14), and 147.97(14.56)for offline, online, and blended teaching, respectively, with no significant difference(F=1.10, P=0.33). Students had a longer interaction time with the teacher in offline teaching than in online and blended teaching(P=0.03). The three different teaching modes have no significant difference among genders or academic performance(P=0.33, P=0.91, respectively). Furthermore, 18.1% of students suggested that the amount of experiment time should be increased.CONCLUSION: Students were satisfied with all three teaching modes. However, they had more interaction time with teachers in traditional offline teaching compared with online and blended teaching. More time is needed to increase teachers' online teaching ability.
