As a validated assessment, the Microbiology for Health Sciences Concept Inventory (MHSCI) is a valuable tool to evaluate student progress in health sciences microbiology courses. In this brief analysis, we survey MHSCI faculty users and report student MHSCI scores to determine the impact on student learning gains of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent quarantine in spring 2020. Although a majority of students reported moving to a fully online lecture and lab microbiology course in the spring 2020 semester, there was no statistically significant impact on student outcomes reported by the MHSCI, and by some measures, student learning gains increased in the semester students moved to online learning. Further research is necessary to determine the continuing impact of online lecture/lab courses on student outcomes on the MHSCI. Our analysis of data from spring 2020 shows that the MHSCI is still a statistically reliable measure of student misconceptions and overall difficulty scores for each item on the MHSCI was unchanged due to the pandemic.

COVID-19课程的变化对学习收益的影响对健康科学概念清单的微生物学的影响。

作为一项经过验证的评估，健康科学微生物学概念清单（MHSCI）是评估学生在健康科学微生物学课程中取得的进步的宝贵工具。在此简短的分析中，我们对MHSCI的教师用户进行了调查，并报告了学生MHSCI的分数，以确定2020年春季COVID-19大流行和随后的隔离对学生学习成果的影响。尽管大多数学生报告称将转而使用完全在线的讲座和实验室在2020年春季学期的微生物学课程中，MHSCI报告对学生的学习成绩没有统计学上的显着影响，并且通过一些措施，在转入在线学习的学期中，学生的学习收益有所增加。为了确定在线讲座/实验室课程对学生成绩对MHSCI的持续影响，有必要进行进一步的研究。
