“…The same authors reviewed EL in orthodontics and identified only four eligible studies (12). Two well designed ones were Clark et al (13) and Hobson et al (14). The first found no significant difference.…”

“…However, EL may not suit everybody particularly those with a less positive attitude towards it (14). This may stem from a lack of information communication technology (ICT) skills which is one of the main barriers to EL (25).…”

“…It removed significant advantages of EL like flexibility in learning time, place and pace. However, if EL is not timetabled there is a risk that voluntary uptake by the students will be low (14). There was pressure to learn a large volume of information quickly which may not suit EL.…”

“…All disagreements were resolved by discussion. Fifteen of the articles were excluded, [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] while twelve articles met the criteria for inclusion [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] in this review. Included articles featured CAL pro-grams in various dental disciplines: five in endodontics, three in orthodontics, one in oral anatomy, one in restorative dentistry, one in geriatric dentistry, and one in prosthodontics.…”

Computer-aided learning (CAL), self-instructional programs provide an accessible, interactive, and flexible way of presenting curriculum material. In order to assess the effectiveness of CAL programs in dental education, a systematic review of the published literature comparing CAL with other teaching methods was performed. A systematic search of the published literature was performed. Articles formally assessed for inclusion had to meet the following criteria: randomized controlled trials comparing CAL with any other method of instruction, and the use of academically homogeneous dental students or dental professionals with objective, predefined outcome criteria measuring performance, time spent, and attitudes. The searches located a total of 1,042 articles; of these, only twenty-seven articles met the inclusion criteria. Further quality assessment identified twelve studies that were included in the final review. Five of the studies documented statistically significant differences in outcome measures (scores on multiple choice, written or oral tests, and clinical performance) favoring CAL over comparison group(s), while six revealed no statistically significant differences. One study documented a greater improvement in test scores in the seminar group over the CAL group. Participants' attitudes towards CAL in the included studies are also discussed. Our study concluded that CAL is as effective as other methods of teaching and can be used as an adjunct to traditional education or as a means of self-instruction.Mr. Rosenberg is a Senior D.D.S.

“…There is much research comparing the effects of distance education with hands-on course education (HCE) that points out significant benefits of distance education along with its unwanted effects. 5 Taxonomies can be used to evaluate the perception level of education with various teaching methods. The Structure of the Observed Learning Outcomes (SOLO), which is often preferred for preparation of questions and evaluation of answers, was developed as a general cognitive development model by John Biggs and Kevin Collis.…”

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare recorded lecture education (RLE) and hands-on course education (HCE) via the test of orthodontic cast analysis lesson, which is prepared according to the Structure of the Observed Learning Outcomes (SOLO) taxonomy. Methods: In our single-blinded, randomized, cross-sectional study, 87 students (45 female, 42 male) were divided into 2 groups. In the first group, HCE was used; the second group was given an RLE. One week later, 5 questions prepared by SOLO taxonomy were given to both groups. For scores of intergroup comparisons, the Mann-Whitney U test was used, and for intragroup comparisons, the Kruskal-Wallis test was used.Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the groups' gender distribution (p.0.05). Examination scores of girls and boys did not differ significantly (p.0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the comparison of average of scores in the HCE group (p,0.05). There was also a statistically significant difference in the average of scores of the RLE group. The averages of scores of the HCE group were found to be significantly higher than RLE group scores (p,0.05), excluding the first, fourth, and fifth questions. Conclusion: Hands-on course education, to which the students are accustomed and with which students are more comfortable asking questions in the classroom and expressing their opinions easily, have higher success rates when compared with RLE.
