Introducing the contextual digital divide: Insights from microscopic anatomy on usage behavior and effectiveness of digital versus face‐to‐face learning

Anatomical Sciences Education, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Фев. 28, 2025

Abstract In recent years, there has been a growing trend toward the digitization of education, highlighting need to understand how different learning modalities impact medical student outcomes. This study analyzes user behavior among students in Microscopic Anatomy, focusing on preferences for digital versus face‐to‐face guided self‐study. A cohort 684 participated Anatomy courses, choosing between and self‐study sessions. Student participation was systematically tracked, capturing detailed data frequency duration engagement with each modality. Quantitative measures academic performance were collected, analyzed identify trends The majority preferred sessions, attendance increasing over semester. By end, 78.44% found hands‐on microscopes more effective engaging than alternatives. Students attending in‐person sessions achieved superior outcomes, failure rate 13.69% compared 22.04% nonattendees. Preferences influenced by direct tutor interactions (61.38%) peer during free microscopy (74.25%). Additionally, 46.71% reported higher motivation when studying histology lecture hall at home. These findings reveal ‘Contextual Digital Divide’, where may not fully meet educational needs contexts requiring experiences interaction. Our results highlight reinforce teaching specific ensure an experience. Future research should build these insights better situations methods fall short learners' needs.

Context. The technology acceptance model (TAM) is a theoretical framework that consists of perceived usefulness (PUS), ease use (PEU), attitude toward using (ATT), behavioral intention to (USI), and actual system use. Here, posed by the smartphone in higher education (SHE) described such as student self-management (MNG), learning results (LRS), achievements perceptions (SFB), cost-benefits (VCB), expectations (EXP) help understand explain how students’ adoption could be better achieved. Nowadays, after COVID-19 pandemic, motivation (MTV) quality (SQY) are two factors reinforce TAM model. Problem. research confronts challenges from dynamic rapidly changing environments. post-COVID-19 era introduces uncertainties, potentially affecting TAM-SHE model's long-term sustainability. fluidity preferences technological advancements obstruct establishment universally applicable for education. This raises concerns about adaptability generalizability across diverse educational settings, emphasizing careful consideration evolving factors. Therefore, following question proposed: What SHE empirical an innovative tool?
