Abstract

In this technological advanced era, virtual-based learning has been implemented in education, including in medical schools. However, there were many barriers experienced by medical students during virtual-based anatomy learning. It included problems on technological facilities, practical learning, environment and time management. All the barriers have to be solved by figuring out an appropriate alternative way to ensure the successful implementation of virtual-based anatomy learning in medical schools. Virtual learning is able to ease medical students in learning anatomy and help them to improve their understanding as well as their performance in clinical field by such a low cost and more freedom application. Therefore, it is important to determine and solve the barriers perceived. The general objective of this study was to determine the barriers perceived towards virtual-based anatomy learning among medical students in UPM. In addition, this study was carried out to determine the level of exposure towards virtual-based anatomy learning among medical students in UPM and their relationship with socio-demographic characteristics (gender, ethnicity and year of study), computing facilities and internet connection, lack of practical learning, learning environment and time constraint. This study was conducted in Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Universiti Putra Malaysia from 27th April 2020 to 9th October 2020 among medical students from Year 1 to Year 5 in UPM. Online self-administered questionnaire on “Factors Associated with Virtual-based iii Anatomy Learning Exposure Among Medical Students in UPM” was distributed to the participants through Google Form during the data collection period. After that, the data collected was analyzed with the IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Eventually, the expected outcomes were the level of exposure towards virtual-based anatomy learning and the associated factors. The results taken would be used as a reference for future implementation of virtual-based anatomy learning, so that the possible challenges could be considered.
