Introduction: Based on the few studies on the effectiveness of virtual education among dental students based on Kirkpatrick’s model of training effectiveness, the present research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of virtual education from the perspective of dental students in Babol University based on the first level of this model.
Materials&Methods: In this cross-sectional study, based on Kirkpatrick’s pyramid of training effectiveness, a questionnaire was designed in 5 areas, including the demographic characteristics, the level of familiarity with the virtual education environment and software, teaching, assessment, and questions regarding learning interaction, and the answers were categorized based on a Likert scale. SPSS software version 20, independent t-tests, and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to analyze the data.
Results: Based on the first level of Kirkpatrick’s model of training effectiveness evaluation, students reported the effectiveness of virtual education on learning at an average level. According to Pearson’s correlation test, there is a positive correlation between students’ answers to questions regarding familiarity with the computer and the Internet and their level of satisfaction with the total effectiveness of virtual education, including the three areas of teaching, assessment, and learning interaction.
Conclusion: Since one of the main needs of the university today is the use of virtual platforms to implement educational programs, the familiarity of learners with these tools helps the university implement educational goals.
