Methods: The content shared in the Google Classroom. A feedback form having 14 questions in a Likert Scale format and open ended feedback question, prepared using Google Forms. 176 students completed MCQ assignment. 40 students completed the feedback. The total score of MCQs were calculated. Other parameters of MCQs like difficulty index, discrimination index, etc were obtained and analysed using Microsoft Excel 2016. Results: Of 176 students who submitted MCQ, the total score obtained was 10.5+2.36, Difficulty index was 51.80+11.80%, Discrimination index 0.24 + 0.06, Distractor efficiency was 63+ 28%. Feedback analysis revealed, the lecture delivery, accessibility, applicability, problem solving ability and technical issues. The questions regarding lectures like the format of lecture, understanding the concept, liking and enjoying the lecture and retention of knowledge were positively responded by the students. The accessibility and availability in various places and devices was most of the students agreed to. The applicability of knowledge in clinical situation particularly various mental disorders was explored and more than 50% students agreed that it will help in clinical application and understanding of pathophysiology of various diseases. Less than 50% students thought that it will help in problems solving. Conclusion: Google classroom is a great platform for teaching Physiology as it improves and ensures learning in virtual settings. |
