ATTITUDES OF MEDICAL STUDENTS ABOUT E-LEARNING
ATTITUDES OF MEDICAL STUDENTS ABOUT E-LEARNING

Summary/Abstract: Background: E-education is becoming increasingly important at the third level of education, but it has not been successfully implemented everywhere. The success of the introduction of e-education at the faculties is significantly influenced by the readiness for this type of education, as well as the attitude of the students towards it. The intention of this research is to study the attitude of medical students towards e-education. Methods: Quantitative research was conducted in February 2021 on a deliberate sample of 100 students of higher medical vocational schools in Serbia. The Crombach alpha coefficient was 0.966. Data were processed in SPSS. Frequency analysis, t-test for independent variables, one-way analysis of variance, correlation, factor and regression analysis were used. Results: The advantages of e-education were mostly assessed by students who participated in three subjects in the e-classroom (p = 0.000). Attitudes towards e-education are related to students’ computer literacy (p <0.05). Three factors can explain 64.72% of the variability of the total factors of students' attitudes towards e-education: the use of e-classroom, satisfaction with teamwork and the way of learning. Conclusion: Respondents are not in favor of e-learning, although several factors have been identified that positively influence their attitudes towards e-learning. The results would be more significant, if the research were extended to a larger sample of respondents.
