The educational environment at Khawaja Mohammad Safdar medical collage, Sialkot

Abstract

Introduction: The instructive climate in any organization is an important concern to debate, as it assumes a powerful part in overseeing understudies' scholastic accomplishment. Objective: The target of my examination was to determine students’ perception of the educational environment at Khawaja Mohammad Safdar Medical College, Sialkot. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, poll-based study was led in which undergraduate students of all five years were analyzed.50-item DREEM Questionnaire was used, and scoring was based on 5 points Likert scale. Data were analyzed by using SPSS v 25. The obtained score was expressed as the mean ±SD. Results: A total mean score is 114/200 (57%), which is more affirmative than negative. The mean score for Students’ perception of Learning is 28/48, Students’ perception of Teachers 25/32, Students’ academic self perception20/28, Perceptions of atmosphere 27/48, and Students’ social self-perception is 16/28. There were four problem areas; item no.1 (I am encouraged to participate in teaching sessions) (1.78), item no.8(course organizers ridicule their students)(1.42), item no.35(I find experience disappointing)(1.76), and item no.3(there is a sound support system for students who get tense)(1.25) all with means ≤2. Conclusion: The overall educational climate was more valuable than the negative; however, few problem areas need to be further explored, and measures are taken to make the environment more favorable for learning.   Keywords:  DREEM (Dundee Ready Education Environment Education), student’s perception, instructive climate
