ABSTRACT
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has driven the digitisation in higher education institutions. At the same time, digital higher education teaching faced the challenge of designing teaching in the context of pre-existing resources, digital and didactic skills, and available technical infrastructure. Objective: The aim of the survey was to assess the assessment/evaluation of digital teaching, which has largely or completely replaced face-to-face teaching as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, from the perspective of lecturers in public health, medicine and nursing. Materials and methods: The cross-sectional survey took place online from June to August 2020 and data were collected via www.soscisurvey. The written survey was conducted among members of the German Society for Public Health (DGPH) and the Digitisation Committee of the Society for Medical Education (GMA) and the Education and Counselling Sections of the German Society for Nursing Science (DGP), and the Teaching Working Group of the German Society for Medical Sociology (DGMS) (n = 100). Results: In terms of the use of digital technologies in the courses, presentation tools ranked first, followed by learning management systems, video content and digital texts. With regard to the use of tools, participants most frequently mentioned various video conference tools). The creation of instructional videos was affirmed by 53% of the respondents;voting tools were mentioned as unknown by over 50%. Digital infrastructure of the universities, lack of didactic advice/support and legal questions (rights of use, data protection) were cited as challenges. Conclusion: New technology is mainly used for knowledge acquisition, knowledge transfer, rarely for activating students and designing collaborative teaching and learning arrangements as well as redesigning learning tasks and learning processes (individualised learning). Which of the currently tested digital teaching and learning formats will be increasingly used in university teaching in the future depends on many factors, including digital competence and the willingness of teachers and students to help develop the digital learning culture. © 2022, The Author(s).
ABSTRACT
ZusammenfassungHintergrundDie COVID-19(„coronavirus disease 2019")-Pandemie hat die Ad-hoc-Digitalisierung an Hochschulen vorangetrieben. Zugleich stand die digitale Hochschullehre vor der Herausforderung der Ausgestaltung der Lehre im Zusammenhang mit den vorbestehenden Ressourcen, der digitalen und didaktischen Kompetenzen sowie der zur Verfügung stehenden technischen Infrastruktur.Ziel der Arbeit/FragestellungDas Ziel der Umfrage war die Einschätzung der digitalen Lehre, die die Präsenzlehre infolge der COVID-19-Pandemie zum großen Teil bzw. gänzlich ersetzt hat, aus der Perspektive der Lehrenden in Public Health, Medizin und Pflege.Material und MethodeDie Querschnitterhebung fand online von Juni bis August 2020 statt und die Daten wurden über www.soscisurvey.de erhoben. Die schriftliche Befragung wurde unter Mitgliedern der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Public Health (DGPH) und des Ausschusses Digitalisierung der Gesellschaft für medizinische Ausbildung (GMA) und der Sektionen Bildung und Beratung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Pflegewissenschaft (DGP) sowie der Arbeitsgruppe Lehre der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Medizinische Soziologie (DGMS) durchgeführt (n = 100).ErgebnisseBei der Nutzung der digitalen Technologien in den Veranstaltungen rangieren auf der obersten Stelle Präsentationstools, gefolgt von Lernmanagementsystemen, Videoangeboten sowie digitalen Texten. Die Teilnehmenden geben hinsichtlich der Nutzung unterschiedliche (Konferenz‑)Tools an. Das Erstellen von Lehrvideos bejahen 53 % der Befragten, Abstimmungstools) werden bis > 50 % als unbekannt genannt. Als Herausforderungen werden digitale Infrastruktur der Hochschulen, fehlende didaktische Beratung/Unterstützung sowie rechtliche Fragen (Nutzungsrechte, Datenschutz) angegeben.SchlussfolgerungNeue Technologie werden vorwiegend für Wissenserwerb, Wissensvermittlung genutzt, selten zur Aktivierung von Studierenden und zur Gestaltung kollaborativer Lehr- und Lernarrangements sowie Neugestaltung von Lernaufgaben und Lernprozessen (individualisiertes Lernen). Welche der aktuell erprobten digitalen Lehr- und Lernformate zukünftig in der Hochschullehre zunehmend eingesetzt werden, hängt von vielen Faktoren ab, u. a. von digitaler Kompetenz sowie der Bereitschaft der Lehrenden und Lernenden die digitale Lernkultur mitzugestalten.
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Every day, learning by doing becomes more necessary for the dental medicine student. The new circumstances imposed by COVID-19 is demonstrative of this as a fact. Objective: To analyze how learning by doing is implemented in the teaching-learning process, which contributes to the training of dental health professionals within higher medical education in Cuba. Methods: A bibliographic review was carried out through the Academic Google search engine and in various bibliographic databases, such as PubMed and SciELO. The descriptors selected initially were educación en el trabajo en estomatología [dental education at work], proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje [teaching-learning process], didáctica de la educación superior [didactics of higher education], and educación médica superior [higher medical education], as well as their English equivalences. Seventy-nine sources were consulted, but, after they were filtered, 41 were selected, of which 75% correspond to publications made from 2015 to date. Results: The genesis of education at work within Cuban higher medical education is analyzed, together with the way it has developed until the impact of COVID-19. The topic is also reviewed according to the international context, where there is a growing concern about the search for more or more alternatives less equivalent in the training of these professionals. Conclusions: Learning by doing in the teaching-learning process that contributes to the training of dental health professionals in Cuba has been implemented mainly through education at work. Its application is linked to compliance with all the principles of didactics and an adequate contextualization of the various components of this process, which is essential in the new conditions that COVID-19 has imposed on medical education. © 2021, Editorial Ciencias Medicas.
