Investigation on online evaluation of teaching in medical students

Objective: To investigate the students' attitude on online-teaching evaluation.Method:The survey was carried out in the forms of no-name-included questionnaires,and a total of 1054 on-campus medical students were included in the study.Results:Among all the 1054 included students,only 14.63% of them knew all the evaluated teachers,and only 53.56% of the students finished the online-evaluation objectively and most of them were lower grade students.65.31% of the students thought the standard of online evaluation of teaching is not so reasonable,83.41% insisted that the quality of teaching be the major factor that affected the marks given to the evaluated teachers.Conclusion:The quality of teaching is the most important factor affecting the mark on the online-evaluation,however,both an unreasonable standard of the teaching and lose of remember on evaluated teacher are the common negative factor affecting the result of evaluation.The authors suggest that the teachers' pictures be enrolled in the system and an immediate evaluation after each class may be a good way to avoid loss of remembering in medical education.
