Abstract

Aim: To investigate the usage conditions of smart phones, broad band internet, social networks, cloud services, instant messaging applications and digital educational resources by medical students. Material and Methods: With use of a questionary form, usage habits for smart phones, broad band internet, social networks, cloud services, instant messaging applications and digital educational resources, advantages and disadvantages and their suggestions on these subjects were investigated for second and fifth year of Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty Turkish and English program students. Results: Three hundred and two students participated in the study. One hundred and twenty nine of the participants were second year (43 English, 86 Turkish), and 193 (61 English, 112 Turkish) were fifth year students. All students except one were using smart phones routinely. While smart phones were mostly preferred for internet surfing (295/302), followed by laptop computers (191/302), tablets (80/302) and desktop computers (20/302). Only 19 students (6%) declared that they were not using social media. Seventy-seven students (25%) had not ever used digital resources such as Pubmed, Medscape, Uptodate, Google Scholar etc. Namely 41% (39% English, 44% Turkish) of 2., and 14% (7% English, 18% Turkish) of 5. grade students had not used these digital resources. Despite the students reported that they had found web-based educational resources significant (49%) and highly significant (39%), only 63 (21%) students were using online resources on a daily basis. Conclusion: Smart phones were widely used among medical students. Medical students preferred mobile equipments (smart phone, and tablet) for internet access when compared with personal computers. Students were using social media prevalently. Fifth grade students were using online educational resources more frequently than second year students Despite the students declared that they had placed importance on web-based education, they preferred them less in daily practice, when compared with the conventional resources (printed books, lecture notes).

Özet

Amaç: Akıllı telefonlar, geniş bant internet, sosyal ağlar, bulut servisleri, anlık mesajlaşma uygulamaları ve dijital eğitim kaynaklarının tıp fakültesi öğrencileri tarafından ne şekilde kullanıldığının sorgulanması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Cerrahpaşa Tıp Fakültesi 2. ve 5. sınıf Türkçe ve İngilizce gruplardaki öğrenciler arasında yapılan anket çalışması ile öğrencilerin akıllı telefon, sosyal medya, anlık mesajlaşma, bulut servisleri, çevrimiçi veritabanları ve diğer dijital eğitim kaynaklarını kullanımları sorgulanmış, bu konudaki avantaj ve dezavantajlar ile önerileri sorgulanmıştır. Bulgular: Ankete 302 öğrenci katıldı. Katılımcıların 129’u 2. sınıf (43 İngilizce, 86 Türkçe), 193’ü 5. sınıfta (61 İngilizce, 112 Türkçe) idi. Katılımcılardan biri hariç tümü akıllı telefon kullanıyordu. İnternete girmek için ağırlıklı olarak akıllı telefonlar yeğlenirken (295/302), bunu dizüstü bilgisayarlar (191/302) tabletler (80/302) ve masaüstü bilgisayarlar (20/302) izlemekteydi. Yalnızca 19 öğrenci (%6) sosyal medya kullanmadığını söyledi. Daha önce Pubmed, Medscape, Uptodate, Google Scholar vb. dijital kaynakları hiç kullanmamış 77 öğrenci (%25) vardı. İkinci sınıf öğrencilerinde oran %41 (İngilizce: %39, Türkçe: %44) iken, 5. sınıf öğrencilerinde bu oran % 14 (İngilizce: %7, Türkçe %18) idi. Öğrencilerin %49’u web tabanlı eğitim kaynaklarının önemli, %39’u çok önemli olduğunu bildirmesine karşın, şimdiki durumda çevrimiçi kaynakları günlük pratikte kullanan öğrenci sayısı 63’tür (%21). Sonuç: Tıp fakültesi öğrencileri arasında akıllı telefon çok yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. İnternete erişim için mobil araçlar (akıllı telefon ve tablet) kişisel bilgisayarlara göre daha çok yeğlenmektedir. Öğrenciler sosyal medyayı yaygın olarak kullanmaktadırlar. Çevrimiçi eğitim kaynaklarını kullanmada 5. sınıflar 2. sınıflara göre daha önde olup, İngilizce gruplarda bu oran Türkçe gruplara göre daha yüksektir. Öğrenciler web tabanlı eğitime önem vermekle birlikte, günlük pratikte alışılagelmiş kaynaklara göre (basılı kitaplar, ders notları vb.) daha az yeğlenmektedir.
