To prevent COVID-19 infection, all teaching at Suzuka University of Medical Sciences from April to June 2020 took place as remote lectures, not in the face-to-face format. This study analyzed postlecture questionnaire responses regarding face-to-face and remote teaching on the subject of nuclear medicine technology examinations. We examined the educational effect of using remote lectures. Methods: We conducted a questionnaire survey among students by means of a 5-point evaluation scale about satisfaction, comprehension, concentration, preparation, reviewing, and the question environment for face-to-face and remote lectures. Results: We present the results as means and SDs. Satisfaction results for face-to-face and remote lectures were 3.30 {\textpm} 0.72 and 3.36 {\textpm} 0.88, respectively. Comprehension results for face-to-face and remote lectures were 3.30 {\textpm} 0.71 and 3.30 {\textpm} 0.83, respectively. Concentration results for face-to-face and remote lectures were 3.50 {\textpm} 0.69 and 3.05 {\textpm} 0.90, respectively. The preparation results for face-to-face and remote lectures were 2.57 {\textpm} 0.88 and 2.67 {\textpm} 0.94, respectively. The reviewing results for face-to-face and remote lectures were 2.84 {\textpm} 0.85 and 3.39 {\textpm} 0.89, respectively. The question environment results for face-to-face and remote lectures lessons were 2.94 {\textpm} 0.90 and 3.43 {\textpm} 0.84, respectively. There were no significant differences between face-to-face and remote lectures in terms of satisfaction, comprehension, or preparation. There were significant differences between face-to-face and remote lectures in terms of concentration, reviewing, and the questioning environment (P \< 0.001). Conclusion: This comparative analysis of the postlecture questionnaire responses for face-to-face and remote formats in nuclear medicine technology examinations showed that remote lectures have a strong educational effect. We believe that, in future, remote lectures should be considered a tool in student education.}, issn = {0091-4916}, URL = {https://tech.snmjournals.org/content/49/2/164}, eprint = {https://tech.snmjournals.org/content/49/2/164.full.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology} }
