| Summary: | Introduction: Higher education is a driving force in many
societies. Medical graduates have a key role in public health and community
medicine. Adherence to professional ethics is crucial to achieve these goals. .
This study aims to evaluate academics' adherence to professional ethics in
Shahid Sadoughi University (SSU) of Medical Science from the students'point of
view.Methods: In this explanatory study a questionnaire was
completed by 160 students of Medical, Dentistry, Public Health, Nursing, Paramedical
and Nursing and Midwifery schools of SSU. In order to assess teaching
effectiveness, we considered components of the methodology, interactive
relationship with students, scholarship, monitoring student's development,
classroom management and doing appropriate assessment. A questionnaire containing
30 questions of the relevant components was designed and its transparency was
validated. The questionnaire was randomly distributed among students.Results: 70 percent of the students believed that the
SSU academics have distinctive character, respect the sanctity of the
classroom, do not gossip about their colleagues, are trained in teaching, are
confident and do their best educate students. More than half believed that the
teachers have effective teaching features. Students' main concerns were lacking
compilation of related books, uniform method of teaching crossdsciplines,
paying less attention to students' questions, not spending sufficient time for
students and careless evaluation.Conclusion: Most of SSU academics adhere to moral and
scientific standards. However, students suggest them to pay more attention and
should spend more time for them. |
