Abstract

Poster templates have been widely used in presenting clinical information or research results in medical seminars and scientific conferences. Posters represent a simple, fast and straightforward way to present ideas, communicate accomplishments and evaluate progress and achievements. The use of interactive materials within the poster such as illustrations, graphs and maps makes it easy to be presented and understood. Posters could also be used as a teaching method in academic environment and have been commonly used as educational tool. Few attempts have been made to use this method as a self-learning tool by university students. This paper discusses an attempt to implement poster presentation as a self-regulating learning tool for undergraduate dental students, to help them develop their scholarly role and professional skills in innovative way. Keywords: Poster Presentation; Learning Tools; Self-Learning; University Teaching; Teaching Methods; Teaching Techniques; Curriculum Innovation; Faculty Development; Dental Education; Contemporary Teaching.
