Abstract
Introduction: Part-time educational programmes offer a more flexible way to study because part-time students can studies around theirs career and other commitments. But, there are risks associated with combining work and study. As a part-time students have access to the same facilities, teaching and training programmes, but they have a same regulations and monitoring procedures of exames as full-time students. Before 50 years ago, the best method by which students learned about histological, biological and pathological entities was by viewing specimens through light microscopes, after that, with availability of colour-printed textbooks and today with PCs and portable electronic devices.
Aims of the study: To evaluated our experience of the advantages of virtual microscopy (VM) as learning methods in medical education of part-time students in voccational studies of Faculty of medical sciences in Stip, R. of Macedonia.
Matehrial and methods: This study was a cross-sectional survey which was conducted at the Faculty of medical sciences, University “Goce Delcev” in Stip. The study tool used was a questionnaire with obtained information about sociodemographic characteristics of the participants, opportunities among the participants, their medical job positions, level of satisfaction and motivating factors to update their medical education. The very important factor as a tool of mesurment of learning, are their final results of exams, esspecialy of the course of cytology and histolgy.
Results: Students today, are all highly computer competent, and greatly appreciate the advantages of the VM systems. The delivery of this material can easily be incorporated into existing e-learning resources that have been developed on the faculty. Part-time students performed better results in the examination with the virtual slide and they confirmed the facility and further evidence of this improved learning outcome using VM.
Conclusion: Many of the medical part-time students were not satisfied with their level of income and finansical benefits of the their job. Good number of them wanted to work so as to learn new skills for self-development but almost of them want to finish the study for finansical advantages. In that conditions to early and easily finish the study, VM provide substantial educational benefits esspecialy to part-time students. Part-time students of the Faculty of medical sciences in Stip are adopted to the new technologies of e-learning including VM.
