“…1 Further, greater emphasis is being placed on providing innovative and more active learning situations rather than traditional teaching methods like lecturing. 12 In a survey study by Yuan et al, 10 76% of practitioners stated their undergraduate training in inhalation sedation was in lecture format only. Other studies investigating the perceived adequacy of dental anesthesia and inhalation sedation training by students found a need for more handson learning experiences in the predoctoral curriculum.…”

“…[7][8][9] This model, however, is less common with inhalation sedation training. 10 In a recent study by Wong et al, 11 the impact of a student-to-student exercise of local anesthesia injections on student confidence and anxiety in clinical practice was investigated. The hands-on learning experience among peers provided a safe learning environment, connected theory to practice, and significantly increased student confidence before administration in the patient care setting.…”

Purpose/Objectives Competence in nitrous oxide/oxygen (N2O/O2) inhalation sedation is expected of dental graduates, but applying what is learned through didactic instruction to patient care can be challenging without firsthand experience. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to evaluate the impact of experiential learning on dental students’ confidence and sense of preparedness for administration of N2O/O2. Methods A biphasic, mixed methods study was conducted at a Midwestern dental school and included 2 cohorts of dental students. In Phase 1 (spring 2019), a cross‐sectional study design was used to survey outgoing third‐year and fourth‐year students who received didactic N2O/O2 instruction alone. In Phase 2 (summer 2019), a nonrandomized, preintervention‐postintervention study design was used to survey incoming third‐year students before and after a hands‐on N2O/O2 laboratory exercise. Results Of the 79 Phase 1 students (99% response rate), all believed a firsthand learning experience with N2O/O2 during didactic learning would increase their confidence and preparedness when administering to a patient (both P < .001). Of the 41 Phase 2 students (100% response rate), after the lab exercise, all felt that firsthand experience enhanced classroom instruction and increased confidence and preparedness when administering N2O to a patient (all P < .001). Fifty‐six (71%) Phase 1 and 39 (80%) Phase 2 students believed classroom instruction alone was inadequate to prepare them to administer N2O/O2 (both P < .001). Conclusions Our results strongly suggest that experiential learning of N2O/O2 inhalation sedation through a hands‐on laboratory exercise should be incorporated into the predoctoral curricula of dental schools.

“…Reported experience levels vary. Whilst competence quotas are consistently not met, 5‐9 these are a recommendation only and it has been suggested that no number of clinical cases can guarantee competence; increased knowledge and confidence in CS are more important 6 . Previous mean reported IV and IS cases per student in UK, and Ireland dental schools were five and four, respectively 6 .…”

“…Dental students’ learning experiences and self‐reported confidence have been examined in a range of subdisciplines including restorative, paediatric and surgical procedures 10‐13 . Regarding learning experiences during CS education, hands‐on experience is considered more effective than didactic teaching for preparedness, clinical skill development and knowledge acquisition 5,7,8,14,15 . Where hands‐on experience has been negligible, graduates feel inadequately prepared and that their clinical development has been wasted 5,16 .…”

Introduction The UK General Dental Council (GDC) requires dental graduates to competently identify, manage and refer patients with dental pain and anxiety. This study aimed to explore sedation training experience quantitatively and qualitatively through individual reflective logs. Materials & Methods A single‐centred mixed‐methods evaluation of teaching, within a UK university conscious sedation department. Fourth‐year dental students undertook lectures and supervised clinical sessions following the undergraduate curriculum. Patient attendance patterns, individual experience and group experience were analysed descriptively. Reflective log sheets were analysed by Thematic Framework Analysis. Results Seventy‐two students participated. Of 153 booked patients, 79 (51.6%) attended of which 74 (48.4%) were treated by undergraduates. The mean performed inhalation sedation and intravenous sedation cases per student were 1 and 0.8, respectively. Three students (4%) assisted only. Group experience varied. Three themes arose from reflections: consolidation of theory and learning; confidence through experience; and responding to challenges. Discussion Whilst experience quotas were not met, GDC requirements for increasing students’ knowledge and confidence within CS were met. Practical experience enhanced learning. “Hands‐on” experience was most valuable for self‐reported confidence but learning by proxy also aided development. Students recognised challenges, but not the implications for themselves or their career. Strategies to reduce barriers to experience require research. Conclusion Whilst variable, all students were provided learning opportunities. Physical experience gave the greatest confidence. Opportunities afforded by the undergraduate curriculum allowed students to learn and develop through consolidation of theory, response to challenges and ultimately the gaining of confidence.

“…With the gradual deepening of my country's economic and social development and the reform of the education system, the problems existing in the learning system of undergraduates majoring in basic education in ordinary universities have become increasingly prominent [7][8]. Only according to the society's long-term and long-term needs for talents, and according to the development needs of students, continuously optimize the learning system, and improve the skills and tolerance of ordinary students, can we cultivate a new type of faculty and talents for the needs of the 21st century society [9][10].…”

The 21st century is an era of rapid evolution of knowledge and information economy. The competition for student employment and recruitment of international talents is becoming more and more intense. The relevant report clearly stated that ordinary secondary schools and other higher education institutions that undertake the task of cultivating basic education teachers need to adjust their training objectives, career arrangements, curriculum structure and teaching methods according to the specific goals and content of the basic education curriculum reform. The change. Primary school physical education courses are of vital importance for improving the quality of talent training. Only in accordance with the long-term and short-term needs of my country's economic and social development for talents, and continuous improvement of the education system and information system, can we truly promote the development of students and improve the level of talent training. Based on big data, this paper studies the optimization of the undergraduate primary education major curriculum system and the design of the information system. First, the literature research method is used to explain the existing problems of the undergraduate primary education major curriculum system and the optimization measures of the college undergraduate primary education major curriculum system. , According to the existing problems in the design of the information system, as well as the detection experiment after the system is realized, the experimental results, a total of 9 problems were found in the test process, including 1 serious functional defect, minor defects but not affecting the normal function of the system There are 2 deficiencies, 2 browser compatibility issues, 2 suggested issues about the convenience of the system, and 3 issues where the system display does not meet the expectations of users.
