Graduate and undergraduate students’ reaction to the teaching procedures used in semipresential classes

Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the reactions of undergraduate and graduate students to the teaching procedures used in semipresential classes. This exploratory study was performed with a quantitative approach at a public university, with undergraduate and graduate students who had completed semipresential classes on health promotion education. Among the 19 evaluated teaching procedures, 15 (78.9%) did not show any statistically significant differences between the two academic levels. The means and medians for most variables, for both undergraduate (78.9%) and graduate (89.5%) students, were above 7 in a scale ranging between 0 (awful) and 10 (excellent). Therefore, it is concluded that both groups showed similar reactions to the teaching procedures and gave satisfactory opinions in this regard. Understanding these aspects can support designing class disciplines that use teaching procedures that are adequate to university students.
