Abstract
Abstract
Purpose: the purpose of this study was to investigate the attitude of faculty member of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Iran University of Medical Sciences towards virtual teaching in COVID-19 pandemic.
Materials and methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 31 faculties of obstetrics and gynecology of Iran University of Medical Sciences. The data collection tool included a personal profile form and a researcher-made questionnaire with confirmed face and content validity and reliability. The questionnaire was provided to the participants in the Porsline software. Data were analyzed using SPSS software
Findings: Based on the findings of this research, virtual education during the Corona era had covered most of the practical topics needed by the obstetrics and gynecology department, and it was possible to present more diverse topics in the form of webinars and opportunities for discussion and group work for medical students. On the other hand, the results of this study showed that the faculties believed that virtual education provides a limited opportunity to practice practical skills and learn complex surgeries, and the evaluation of theoretical and practical clinical skills was less feasible. Also, the existing internet infrastructure has not been suitable for teaching practical procedures.
Conclusion: To provide effective virtual training, the use of virtual learning along with the use of advanced educational technologies same as simulation will be a way forward. The development of infrastructure and the Internet is also necessary.
