INTRODUCTION: COVID-19 pandemic obliged teachers and students to quickly move from face-to-face to full e-learning education. The attitude can positively influence the use and success of e-learning. The objective was to assess the attitude towards e-learning and its influencing factors among students of pre-professional program. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The design was cross-sectional among health pre-professional female students enrolled at College of Basic Science and Health Profession (COSHP) at King Saud bin Abdul-Aziz University for Health Science (KSAU-HS) in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) between May and September 2021. The data were collected using an online questionnaire. RESULTS: A total 92 students were included in analysis. The mean attitude score was 59.9%. The score was higher in students with previous e-learning experience before COVID19 (64.2%±18.8% versus 50.6%±16.6%, p=0.003). The main advantages were "assignments can be submitted on specified deadline" (59.8%), "interaction and communication during classes" (57.6%), and "feedback for assignments and examinations" (55.4%). The main disadvantages were "facing difficulty to focus in home environment" (62.0%), "struggle with internet connection" (59.8%), and "limited assigned time to complete online examinations" (57.6%). Main barriers include "slow internet connectivity" (44.6%) and "lack of teacher and classmates contacts" (38.0%). Suggested improvements included "having access to additional help during courses" (72.8%), "doing interactive activities such as games" (70.7%), and "solving technical problems" (70.7%). Students with higher positive attitude significantly reported less disadvantages/barriers but reported more advantages/improvements. CONCLUSIONS: The current study showed moderately favorable attitude towards e-learning among female students in pre-Medicine/ pre-Applied Medical Science, and pre-Nursing programs. The current finding provide policymaker with a list of required changes from students' perspective to achieve successful and acceptable learning experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
