Abstract

The Pandemic COVID-19 has brought us changes in learning techniques, including teaching anatomy. A different method of learning provides a special experience for both students and lecturers. The study design used was a qualitative phenomenological study. Place and duration of study from August 2021 to May 2022 at the Medical Faculty of Sebelas Maret University. We conduct semi-structured interviews face to face by zoom and transcribed verbatim. All responses were subjected to qualitative analysis, and themes were derived. A total of six female and six male participants from the institution gave feedback. One of the main themes identified was subjective factors with sub-themes including intention, private matter, physical issues, preparation, and students’ feelings. The second theme was fixed external factors with sub-themes including teaching method, regulation, quality control, social issue, and learning facilities. The third theme was modifiable external factors of anatomy learning which had subcategories of comprehension, material resources, distraction, and interaction. The study focuses on the experiences students faced when learning anatomy for the first time through online and blended approaches during the COVID-19 pandemic. The data on learning components collected and proposed for future curricula may assist policymakers in informing curricular modifications regarding anatomy in the future.

Research Contribution: This study is designed to understand the students’ perception of learning anatomy in online and offline classes during the COVID-19 pandemic. An insight into their experiences may help policymakers to improve the anatomy curriculum in the future.
