Faculty And Student Ratings Pertaining to Medical Education at Adnan Menderes University Faculty of Medicine
Aims: The present comparative study addresses the students' ratings as well as faculty' evaluation of curricular activities concerning first three years of medical school at Adnan Menderes University in 2000-2001 academic year. Materials and methods: The faculty members' as well as students' evaluations were obtainedby means of a self-report questionnaire consisting of 106 items each rated on a 5-point Likert's Scale. The raters were 87 faculty members (70 %), 33 first-year students (100 %), 33 second-year students (82 %), and 13 third-year students (68 %). Results: Atotal of 106 educational parameters related to the first three curricular years were questioned, 53 percent of which received positive ratings by both students and faculty members. While the positive ratings condensed around the curricular time reserved for practice hours and also the audio-visual apparatuses used to enrich classroom lectures, the negative ratings were condensed around educational facilities such as student library and computer lab. Conclusions: In general, the faculty members and the students appear to be satisfied with the medical education provided at our institution. To enhance the quality of undergraduate medical education, however, educational environments particularly computer lab and library need to be improved.
