Abstract

Objective: To determine if there was a difference in the grades of the subject medical imaging applied to therapy in the virtual and face-to-face education modality in undergraduate students of a university in Lima. Material and Methods: Descriptive correlational study. Two groups of students were compared, one taking the course in virtual mode and the other in the face-to-face mode of the medical imaging to therapy subject to determine the difference in final grades. Mean difference statistics (T student) and normality tests (K-S) were applied. Results: The sample consisted of 64 students with a mean age of 21 (1.5) with a predominance of women (81.25%). Of which 42.2% developed the course in the face-to-face modality during the year 2019 and 57.8% virtually in the year 2020. It was demonstrated that there is a significant difference in the grades of conceptual evaluation (p<0.01), imaging (p<0.01), academic task (p<0.01) and final (p<0.01). In addition, there was a significant difference in the final grade in female students (p<0.05). Grades and age were not associated in any study modality (p>0.05). Conclusion: There was evidence of a significant difference in the grades of the medical imaging applied to therapy subject between the described modalities, being higher in the virtual modality.
