Abstract

The distance learning experience is a new norm on adaptive learning process for paediatrics clerkship due to the pandemic situation. This study was a cross-sectional survey of medical students who have participated in to rotation of the paediatrics clerkship from March 2020 until July 2021. The questionnaire data filled out by 247 of the 379 students participating in distance learning paediatrics clerkship. Face-to-face interaction is preferable learning method instead of online discussions (90.1%) with 156/247 students admit less than 4 hours of study time per day. Although 163/247 felt that they had no problems switching learning methods to online discussions and 175/247 felt that the distance learning process was quite easy to follow as expected, with 208/247 being able to achieve the learning targets, students with less than 4 hours of study time per day had a risk of 7.3 times could not achieve the learning target significantly (p=0.007), and students who were less active in discussing had a risk of 7.9 times failing to get a cognitive score of 70 (registrar rotation pass limit) significantly (p=0.000). Assessment of the achievement of learning targets, conformity of the schedule and the online program, the role of perceptive lecturers according to students participating in the distance learning paediatrics clerkship showed significant differences (p=0.031) between groups. Effective communication skills, working together in teams, and understanding patient management holistically are competencies that cannot be fully anticipated with the distance learning method, so they still have to be enriched with conventional clerkship rotations (bedside teaching).
