Developing a clinical presentation dental education model and a pilot test

Abstract

Introduction Accurate clinical decision‐making of dentists should be based on their knowledge and experience. In the past 10 years, interest in competency‐based dentistry education has rapidly increased, but there has been little attention paid to methods of improving dental education competency. The purpose of this study was to develop a clinical presentation education model that provides opportunities for students to practice problem‐solving from the moment they greet the patient so that students can obtain the practical experience of competency‐based education and the effectiveness of this model can be confirmed through pilot test. Methods This article is divided two parts: First, developing the clinical presentation dental education model (CPDEM) and Second, a pilot study adopted CPDEM. To confirm the effectiveness of this model, the students' satisfaction, their perception of self‐achievement were analysed. Results Clinical presentation dental education model has been developed to provide practice‐related education experience and provide linkage between basic science and clinical science. The result of applying this education model to 10 students as a pilot test was shown an overall high satisfaction level. In addition, self‐achievement students’ reported of all intended competencies was higher than for non‐participating students of this model. Conclusions This study focuses on practical education centring on clinical presentation. This model could get a meaningful and realistic experiences through the practice using clinical presentation of patients, use their metacognition for organizing and memorizing the patient's case by using concept map. It can be used as a future instructional method to enhance students' competency.

“…Therefore, the present module was developed based on the ADDIE instructional design model, which comprises five steps: Analyse, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation 17 . The ADDIE model is one of the most recognised models for instructional designers because the design processes are systematic and flexible 18 .…”

Metacognición reflexivo-experiencial para desarrollar aprendizaje profundo en la elaboración de casos clínicos en odontología

“…En relación al caso clínico, (Ji et al, 2021) evaluaron un modelo educativo de presentación clínica de caso que brinda a los estudiantes de odontología la oportunidad de practicar la resolución de problemas. Concluyeron que los estudiantes deben centrarse en un aprendizaje práctico mediante la presentación clínica de caso.…”

“…Incluso en las investigaciones analizadas de los antecedentes de esta investigación, se observa que se centran en la odontología dirigida a otras subespecialidades, pero no se han encontrado investigaciones relacionadas a la odontopediatría (Ji et al, 2021;Tsai et al, 2020).…”
