Sažetak
COVID-19 pandemic caused several lockdowns affecting university education. The aim of this study was to compare learning outcomes for Pharmacology course executed in standard, semi- online and online only mode. Data on student’s mandatory Pharmacology course (3rdyear of study) exam grades in three consecutive academic years (2018/19, 2019/20, 2020/21) at University of Zagreb School of Dental Medicine were analyzed regarding teaching mode applied (full standard in classroom teaching in 2018/19, one semester in classroom one in online mode in 2019/2020, full online teaching in 2020/21). Data on student’s elective course in Problem based learning Pharmacology (5thyear of study) attendance record was analyzed in the same time span. Final exam grades were not significantly different between standard (3.85±0.91) and semi-online mode (3.902±1.0, p>0.05) but were significantly increased when compared standard to online only mode (4.176±1.06, p<0.05). Improvement in final exam grades may be affected by student’s increased interest in Pharmacology during COVID-19 pandemic. Student’s attendance of elective course in Problem based learning Pharmacology was significantly increased from 2018/19, 2019/20 to 2020/21 (p<0, 05). Pharmacology university course in online mode did not decrease student’s learning outcomes achievements measured by exam grades. COVID-19 pandemic may lead to increased student’s interest in problem based learning pharmacology.
