Students' Response to Biology Subject in Scientific and Medical Colleges

Abstract

Academic success in first-year college science coursework can strongly influence future career paths and usually includes a solid performance in introductory biology. Aimed to: wanted to know whether factors affecting biology student performance might include learning style preferences and one’s ability and confidence in self-assessing those learning preferences to engage in appropriate study strategies. Material and Methods: 222 students from the first year of the General Department on the extent to which they absorbed the biological material and the extent to which they could not be absorbed by the College of Medical Technology/Derna. From 2022 to 2024 by answering questions from Google Form e-questionnaire Where the questionnaire link was distributed to students and answered. Results: The highest answer of those who find that biology is important as a basic subject for the first year by 202(91.0%), with Mean(1.15), St.D(0.507), the percentage assessment of biology course, with the highest percentage for excellent by 43%, followed by very good by 31.1%, then good by 21.2%, then not bad by 4.1%, and which the assessment by weak of biology course 0.9%, and the Mean (2.26), ST. D (1.316), the females (141) are more trusted to succeed in biological subjects than males (43), and which not confident to pass in biology subjects by 10 for males, 24 for females. Conclusion: The study explained from students' answers that the topic of biology is nice, basic and easy to understand, especially if it is one of the basic early years in medicine or scientific medical schools, and that females were more confident in succeeding in biological material than males
