“…A person's learning style in later life is significantly influenced by their childhood strategies and practices. Many studies have focused on the relationship between learning strategies and academic achievement [ 42 , 43 ]. Reference [ 44 ] showed that learning strategies are important for success after university and in the workplace, and their impacts are not limited to academic achievement.…”

“…Consequently, the findings show that being a student under 29 years of age was a risk factor for presenting insufficient knowledge about dental shade selection and at the same time it constituted a protective factor for presenting unfavorable attitudes about the same topic. This apparent contradiction can be explained by the fact that students under 29 years of age had a good attitude towards learning about esthetic topics inherent to the dental profession, but the desire to learn often did not translate into sufficient knowledge due to multiple factors such as poor study habits, having been taught by non-specialist professors and/or with inadequate or obsolete methodology, the impracticality of the knowledge provided, the lack of clinical practice that would help to reinforce knowledge in the long term, the lack of implementation of modern technology for dental shade selection in both universities, among others [ 41 – 43 ].…”

Background The dentist should have a thorough knowledge of the science, protocols and procedures for dental shade selection in order to mimic dental tissue with restorative materials, respecting the individual needs and attitudes of each patient and providing them with a pleasant and esthetically acceptable appearance. The present study evaluated the knowledge and attitudes of dental interns from two Peruvian universities about dental shade selection and its relationship with sociodemographic factors. Methods The present cross-sectional and analytical study was carried out on Peruvian dental interns from the Universidad Nacional Federico Villarreal and the Universidad Privada de San Juan Bautista during May to June 2022. Two validated questionnaires on knowledge and attitudes about dental shade selection were used. A Poisson regression model with robust variance using the adjusted prevalence ratio (APR) was used to assess the influence of the variables: age group, sex, place of origin and type of university, considering a significance level of p<0.05. Results The results showed that 40.8% (95% CI: 34.0% - 47.6%) of the interns presented unfavorable attitudes while 90.1% (95% CI: 86.0% - 94.2%) presented insufficient knowledge. It was also found that dental interns under 29 years of age were 32% less likely to have unfavorable attitudes (APR = 0.68, 95% CI 0.48 - 0.96) and 11% more likely to have insufficient knowledge (APR = 1.11, 95% CI 1.01 - 1.24) about tooth shade selection compared to dental interns aged 29 years and older. Finally, women were 55% more likely to have unfavorable attitudes about tooth shade selection compared to men (APR = 1.55; 95% CI: 1.08 - 2.22). Conclusion The majority of dental interns presented insufficient knowledge and less than half had unfavorable attitudes about dental shade selection. In addition, being a student under 29 years of age was a risk factor for presenting insufficient knowledge and at the same time constituted a protective factor for presenting unfavorable attitudes. Likewise, being a female student was a risk factor for presenting unfavorable attitudes about dental shade selection.

Career adaptability and academic engagement are important processes in higher education. However, the relationship between these processes and their potential role in students’ life satisfaction still needs to be addressed. The present study aims to explore the role of career adaptability and academic engagement on higher education students’ life satisfaction. This study included 201 participants, 156 women (77.6%) and 45 men (22.4%), aged between 18 and 55 years (M = 21.13, SD = 4.51). Students answered a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale, the University Student Engagement Inventory, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. Positive and statistically significant correlations between career adaptability and academic engagement, as well as between these variables and life satisfaction, were found. The results of a hierarchical linear regression analysis suggested that career adaptability and academic engagement statistically significantly contribute to explaining variations in life satisfaction. This study may lead to a better understanding of the relationship between academic, emotional, and career processes. It may also stimulate integrative psychological practices in higher education settings.
