About this study
Official title: Comparative Evaluation of the Learning Environment of Pediatric Dentistry Course Through Hybrid Learning Versus Distance Learning
To assess dental student opinion about distance educational learning environment during COVID-19 Pandemic and to assess their satisfaction with Hybrid learning
Read the detailed description
Coronavirus crisis has caused disturbance in the provision of education all over the world. In Egypt institutions of higher education has taken the decision to temporarily suspend attendance in universities and to keep it closed for student during this pandemic.
Cairo university overcome this problem by avoiding gathering and facilitating the continuity of education for all through remote learning.
In faculty of dentistry Cairo university, pediatric dentistry course coordinators and instructors made modifications in their course which is taught to 5th year dental student.
These modification included continuation of lectures and group sections through distance learning, while postponing any clinical work to avoid direct contact with patient.
In the next academic year the same course was taught in different way through hybrid learning
So the aim of the study was to compare education learning environment experiences among 5th year dental students enrolled in pediatric dentistry course through hybrid learning versus distance learning and to assess students satisfaction with hybrid learning , which will spot the light on strong and weak points in order to provide better education and improve their experiences.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Comparative evaluation of education learning environment experiences among dental students enrolled in pediatric dentistry course in hybrid versus distance learning during COVID-19 crisis
outcome was measured by using DELES questionnaire with five items likert scale ( : 5 = always, 4 = often, 3 = sometimes, 2 = seldom, 1 = never. ranging from always to never with always representing maximum and never representing minimum always is best and never means worse questionnaire with five items likert scale ( : 5 = always, 4 = often, 3 = sometimes, 2 = seldom, 1 = never. ranging from always to never with always representing maximum and never representing minimum always is best and never means worse
Measured: 1 year
Secondary outcomes (1)
assessment of student satisfaction with the created environment in hybrid learning of pediatric dentistry course
outcome was measured by using satisfaction scale which included eight questions with answers ranging from 5 = strongly agree, 4 = agree, 3 = neither agree or disagree, 2 = disagree, 1 = strongly disagree
Measured: 10 days
