摘要：To control COVID-19 pandemic, complete lockdown was initiated in 2020. We investigated the impact of lockdown on tertiary-level academic performance, by comparing educational outcomes amongst first-year students during second semester of their medical course prior to and during lockdown. Evidence: The demographics, including educational outcomes of the two groups were not significantly different during semester one (prior to the lockdown). The academic performance amongst women was better than men prior to lockdown. However, the scores were improved significantly for both sexes during lockdown in 2020, following the complete online teaching, compared to that in 2019, showing no significant difference between men and women in 2020, for English and Chinese History. There were significant different scores between men and women in lab-based Histology Practice in 2019 (in-person tuition) and 2020 (online digital tuition), although only a significant improvement in women was observed between 2019 and 2020. Implication: the forced change to online delivery of the second semester of the first-year medical program in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic did not result in any decline in assessment outcomes in any of the subjects undertaken. We believe extensive online digital media should continue to be available to students in future.
