Introduction: One of the primary functions of the study and development centers at medical universities nationwide is to enhance teaching quality. To achieve this, various methods are employed to assess teaching effectiveness. One such method involves evaluating professors' teaching quality through interactive student committees during the academic semester. This study aims to examine the impact of forming these interactive student committees on teaching quality at the School of Allied Medical Sciences, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the School of Allied Medical Sciences, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, in 2021. The research population comprised BSc students who enrolled in the School of Allied Medical Sciences in 2018, 2019, and 2020 and participated in forming interactive student committees. The research tool was a questionnaire developed by the researcher, consisting of four main sections. After confirming the questionnaire's validity and reliability, it was distributed to the target sample via email and messaging platforms. Descriptive and inferential methods were used to analyze the collected data using SPSS software (version 24).
Results: A total of 57% of the questionnaires were completed and returned by the participants. The analysis of boxplots related to students' responses on presenting weekly reports on teaching quality showed a normal and balanced distribution. The greater dispersion of scores above the median indicated a significant positive relationship. Additionally, there was a significant relationship between presenting weekly reports and the presence of problems in presenting these reports (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Overall, the study findings indicated that forming interactive student committees can be beneficial and influential in enhancing both the quality and quantity of teaching provided by professors. |
