Attitudes of study participants to e-learning.
| No. | Questions | S A (%) | A (%) | N (%) | D (%) | S D (%) | Mean ± SD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A1 | E-Learning should only be used for the distribution of notes over the internet (R). | 41 (19) | 67 (31) | 43 (20) | 42 (20) | 21 (10) | 2.7 ± 1.3 |
| A2 | E-learning ensures schedule flexibility. | 28 (13) | 77 (36) | 59 (28) | 32 (15) | 18 (8) | 3.3 ± 1.1 |
| A3 | E-learning reduces quality of knowledge attained (R). | 38 (18) | 66 (31) | 43 (20) | 50 (23) | 17 (8) | 2.7 ± 1.2 |
| A4 | E-learning technology is easy to use. | 10 (5) | 48 (22) | 61 (29) | 66 (31) | 29 (14) | 2.7 ± 1.1 |
| A5 | E-learning is not efficient as a teaching method (R). | 41 (19) | 63 (29) | 56 (26) | 41 (19) | 13 (6) | 2.6 ± 1.2 |
Abbreviations: S A, strongly agree; A, agree; N, neutral; D, disagree; S D, strongly disagree; SD, standard deviation.
Attitudes were scored as; S A- 5, A- 4, N- 3, D- 2, and S D- 1. For reversed items (R), scores were reversed and computed as S A-1, A-2, N-3, D-4, and S D-5. Mean scores are calculated out of a total of 5 representing a positive attitude and a minimum of 1, representing negative attitudes.
