Computers and computer‐assisted instruction are being used with increasing frequency in the area of health science student education, yet students’ attitudes towards the use of e‐learning technology and computer‐assisted instruction have received limited attention to date. The purpose of this study was to investigate the significant predictors of health science students’ attitudes towards e‐learning and computer‐assisted instruction. All students enrolled in health science programmes (n=2885) at a large multi‐campus Australian university in 2006‐2007, were asked to complete a questionnaire. This included the Online Learning Environment Survey (OLES), the Computer Attitude Survey (CAS), and the Attitude Toward Computer‐Assisted Instruction Semantic Differential Scale (ATCAISDS). A multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the significant predictors of health science students’ attitudes to e‐learning. The Attitude Toward Computers in General (CASg) and the Attitude Toward Computers in Education (CASe) subscales from the CAS were the dependent (criterion) variables for the regression analysis. A total of 822 usable questionnaires were returned, accounting for a 29.5 per cent response rate. Three significant predictors of CASg and five significant predictors of CASe were found. Respondents’ age and OLES Equity were found to be predictors on both CAS scales. Health science educators need to take the age of students and the extent to which students perceive that they are treated equally by a teacher/tutor/instructor (equity) into consideration when looking at determinants of students’ attitudes towards e‐learning and technology.

Style Preferences

<span>The objective for this study was to determine whether learning style preferences of health science students could predict their attitudes to e-learning. A survey comprising the </span><em>Index of Learning Styles</em><span> (ILS) and the </span><em>Online Learning Environment Survey</em><span> (OLES) was distributed to 2885 students enrolled in 10 different health science programs at an Australian university. A total of 822 useable surveys were returned generating a response rate of 29.3%. Using </span><em>SPSS</em><span>, a linear regression analysis was completed. On the ILS Active-Reflective dimension, 44% of health science students reported a preference as being active learners, 60% as sensing learners, and 64% as sequential learners. Students' attitudes toward e-learning using the OLES showed that their </span><em>preferred</em><span> scores for all 9 subscales were higher than their </span><em>actual</em><span> scores. The linear regression analysis results indicated that ILS learning styles accounted for a small percentage of the OLES </span><em>actual</em><span> and </span><em>preferred</em><span> subscales' variance. For the OLES </span><em>actual</em><span> subscales, the ILS Active-Reflective and Sensing-Intuitive learning style dimensions were the most frequent predictors of health science students' attitudes towards e-learning. For the OLES </span><em>preferred</em><span> subscales, ILS Active-Reflective and Sequential-Global learning style dimensions accounted for the most frequent source of variance. It appears that the learning styles of health science students (as measured by the ILS) can be used only to a limited extent as a predictor of students' attitudes towards e-learning. Nevertheless, educators should still consider student learning styles in the context of using technology for instructional purposes.</span>

Background: E-learning is a method of teaching and learning using electronic media. It is also called web-based learning, online learning, distributed learning, computer-assisted instruction and internet-based learning. With the development of information technology, the use of e-learning has rapidly increases. E-learning is becoming omnipresent in higher education and increases the student’s motivation and satisfaction in learning.Methods: The descriptive cross sectional study was conducted at three different health science colleges among bachelor level students of Public Health, Pharmacy and Nursing at Kathmandu, Nepal. Total 135 respondents were randomly selected. The self administered questionnaire was used for the data collection and the obtained data were analyzed by using SPSS version 16.Results: Study shows that majority of respondents were from 19-22 years and 71.9% were female. All the respondents use electronic devices for learning and majority (97.8%) believes that electronic device influence the academic performance of students. Laptop is the commonly used electronic device followed by smart phone. Among the respondents only 63.7% follow the correct posture. Similarly, majority (80.7%) of the respondents spent 1-4 hours on electronic device for learning purpose that is mainly used for searching clinical guidelines, reference drug guidelines and journal articles.Conclusions: The use of electronic device is common among the health science students for learning. The uses of such devices have positive effect on their education since they get updated information quickly as needed. However necessary guidance is necessary to get appropriate sites and for limiting excessive use such devices.

<p><strong>Introducción. </strong>Mediante la Resolución 429 de 2016, Colombia adoptó el modelo de Atención Primaria en Salud como una política de atención integral en salud. Los médicos familiares son un elemento fundamental para su desarrollo. Para 2014, se estimó que en Colombia había poco más de 1,2 médicos familiares por 100.000 habitantes y solo siete programas de formación de posgrado presencial en todo el país, concentrados en las ciudades más desarrolladas. Por este motivo, el Ministerio de Educación y el Ministerio de Salud y Protección Social buscan incrementar la formación de especialistas en Medicina Familiar. Brasil, India, México, Paraguay y Sudan, entre otros países, exploraron la educación virtual y a distancia como una opción de formación médica para esta especialidad. Por lo anterior, los investigadores se preguntaron si las características que permitieron el desarrollo de estas experiencias en otros países podrían servir para orien­tar la creación de un programa similar en Colombia.</p><p><strong>Objetivo. </strong>Hacer una descripción detallada de las características que permi­tieron el desarrollo de experiencias de formación a distancia y virtual para médicos familiares en el mundo y, a partir de su análisis, encontrar bases que puedan servir para el desarrollo de un programa similar en Colombia.</p><p class="Pa6"><strong>Metodología. </strong>Se trata de un estudio cualitativo, hermenéutico, basado en la recopilación y el análisis documentales. La búsqueda se hizo en Pubmed, ProQuest, Embase, Lilacs, Bireme, Springer Link, PlosOne y World Library of Science, utilizando los términos “distance learning”, “family practice”, “e-learning”, “education B-learning”, “ICT learning”, “computer-assisted instruction”, “educación a distancia”, “educación virtual”, y “me­dicina familiar y comunitaria</p><p class="Pa6"><strong>Resultados. </strong>Se seleccionaron 71 artículos de 23 países. Se se­ñalaron las características comunes en los programas de edu­cación virtual y a distancia, mediante una matriz de fortalezas, oportunidades, debilidades y amenazas, y se reseñaron los rasgos políticos, económicos, sociales, y tecnológicos del contex­to colombiano que pudieren favorecer o no el desarrollo de un programa similar.</p><p><strong>Conclusiones. </strong>La educación de posgrado a distancia para médi­cos familiares ha sido posible en diferentes países. En Colombia, deben desarrollarse ajustes políticos, económicos, tecnológicos y legales para que un programa de estas características tenga un impacto significativo en el desarrollo de la especialidad.</p>
