Background and Purpose: Clinical teaching and learning are an important aspect of radiography programmes. It enables radiography students to acquire knowledge, attitudes, skills, and competence under the clinical supervision of designated radiographers. However, there is a paucity of research on radiography clinical training and the factors that impact on it. This study aimed to evaluate factors that affect supervising radiographers in the clinical supervision of radiography students in Zambia. Methods: A cross-sectional design was utilised in this study. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from supervising radiographers (N=120) working in public hospitals affiliated with the schools of radiography and located in the Lusaka and Copperbelt provinces of Zambia. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Results: The response rate was 75% (N=120/160). Supervising radiographers rated the current system of clinical supervision as being unsatisfactory. Factors that facilitated the clinical supervision process were an adequate supply of X-ray films, students sharing their learning problems and radiology department management support. On the other hand, factors that inhibited the clinical supervision process were a lack of guidelines, lack of theory amongst students, combined supervision of diploma and degree students, student overcrowding, lack of educational audits, unjustified imaging requests, insufficient clinical teaching knowledge, and inadequate faculty and hospital management supports. Conclusion: Supervising radiographers encounter both facilitating and inhibiting factors in the facilitation of practice-based learning for radiography students. More collaboration amongst key stakeholders and supports are necessary to overcome the challenges identified in this study.

Traditionally, education had been teacher centred. With the 1) availability of resources of knowledge other than the teacher, 2) industrialisation of education where student is the client; and 3) emergence of more individualised needs and preferences of the students in the industry, the term learnercentred education (also called student-centred learning) has gained popularity in many countries including Sri Lanka (Schweisfurth, 2011; Spencer & Jordan, 1999). Among other limitations of implementing in the developing countries (Schweisfurth, 2011), studentcentred learning does not specify who pays for the education of the student, or to what profession the students are trained to when it applies to higher educational institutions.

Clinical teaching in medicine plays an important role in the making of a competent and skilled health care professional. It is a fact that owing to the recent rise in the burden on the health system because of an augmented rise in the number of patients visiting hospitals, including tertiary medical colleges, the time for clinical teaching has significantly reduced. However, acknowledging the scope of clinical teaching in the making of a competent health care professional, the need of the hour is that the medical colleges and the individual departments should give immense attention towards delivering high-quality teaching. As the teachers remain the most important stakeholder in effective clinical teaching, they should be aware about the existing challenges and the ways to address them. In conclusion, clinical teaching needs to be improved and streamlined in all the medical institutions. The major responsibility of effective delivery of clinical teaching lies with the medical teachers and it is high time that they understand the prevailing challenges and work with an aim to overcome them and eventually enhance the effectiveness of teaching.

Background: In the present scenario due to lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, online learning has become more prevalent all over the world. The sudden shift of the educational system from the traditional method of teaching to distance learning is one of the educational trials at present. Therefore it is required to know the student’s perspectives about virtual classrooms. Objectives: To analyze the perception of virtual classrooms among undergraduates and based on responses, necessary modifications are suggested to the university. Methodology: It was a cross-sectional study. Institutional ethical clearance was taken before the start of the study. After taking consent from the students, the semi-structured questionnaires were sent to them online. Results: In the present study, the perception of students with regards to the virtual classroom was good because it has many advantages like flexibility, accessibility from anywhere in the country. Conclusion: The present study concludes that the use of virtual classrooms has many advantages and disadvantages. But at the same time, students preferred the traditional method as the best method of teaching.
