ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The learning environment at Xavier University School of Medicine (XUSOM), Aruba has not been previously studied. Hence, the present study was carried out using the Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM) to obtain student perceptions about the learning environment and compare the same among different subgroups of respondents.METHODS:
The questionnaire was administered to undergraduate medical students in their first to fifth semester during the first two weeks of June 2013. The students' perceptions were evaluated by noting their degree of agreement with a set of 50 statements using a Likert-type scale. The mean overall score and the scores of subcategory were calculated and compared among different respondents (P<0.05).RESULTS:
Seventy-three of the 86 students (84.9%) completed the questionnaire. The overall mean+/-SD score was 131.79+/-22.86 (maximum score 200). The mean+/-SD score for students' perception of teaching/learning was 31.99+/-6.23 (maximum score, 48), while the score for students' perceptions of teachers was 30.05+/-5.54 (maximum score, 44). The mean+/-SD scores for students' academic self-perception, students' perception of the atmosphere, and students' social self-perception were 21.88+/-5.11 (maximum score, 32), 30.92+/-8.59 (maximum score, 48), and 16.96+/-4.71 (maximum score, 28), respectively. There were no differences in scores according to the respondents' personal characteristics.CONCLUSION:
The student responses about the learning environment at the institution were positive. We plan to obtain regular student feedback as the curriculum becomes progressively more student-centered and integrated.
