Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Self-Confidence in Patient Treatment in the Endodontic and Restorative Procedures of Dentistry Students at the University of Novi Sad.

(1) Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about a change in the concept of teaching with the introduction of online lectures and "distance learning." The aim of this study was to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the confidence and both theoretical and practical knowledge of dental students regarding the courses in conservative dentistry and endodontics. (2) Methods: The study was conducted using an originally created online questionnaire consisting of 30 questions that the students used to make a subjective assessment of their confidence in performing both endodontic and conservative procedures using numerical scales. They were divided into two groups, a non-COVID group of students, who attended classes before the outbreak of the pandemic, and a COVID group, whose classes were suspended due to the lockdown. The data were processed in the SPSS statistic 25 program, with statistical significance p < 0.05. (3) Results: The comparison of the self-assessment of 96 students from the COVID group and 91 students from the non-COVID group revealed significant results. Compared with the COVID group, the non-COVID students felt more confident in the application of anesthesia in both the maxilla and mandible, in the initial treatment of patients in pain, as well as in all the steps of the endodontic treatment. Both groups felt equally confident in diagnostic and conservative procedures, and the level of theoretical knowledge acquired in the courses. (4) Conclusions: Changes in teaching due to the COVID-19 pandemic had an unfavorable effect on students' self-confidence in performing routine dental interventions, especially in the endodontic field. The lack of confidence in the COVID group regarding the anesthetic and endodontic procedures appears due to their inability to do any of these procedures during the COVID period; we organized summer practical school under the supervision of teachers, and they gained the necessary knowledge and self-confidence for these procedures.

The development of Critical Thinking Skills during Practical Training: The Perspectives of Pedagogical Supervisors and Sports and Physical Education Trainees

In the Republic of Congo, initial teacher training has both a theoretical and a practical dimension. Theoretical training takes the form of theoretical courses within the training institution itself. Practical training, on the other hand, takes place in professional settings (secondary schools). This comparative study consisted of identifying the conceptions relating to the development of critical thinking by educational supervisors and by student-trainees. Inscribed in a qualitative methodological approach, this research was based on Eric Lavertu's (2013) conceptual approach to the development of critical thinking in internships. Eight (08) educational supervisors and nineteen (19) student-trainees voluntarily participated in the study via three focus groups. The results obtained, following a content analysis of the corpus collected, reveal several didactic-pedagogical devices for the development of student-trainees' critical thinking, both according to the perception of pedagogical supervisors, and also, according to that of student-trainees. As didactic-pedagogical devices, educational supervisors identify three: the communication strategies highlighted by the supervisor, the climate of exchange established by the supervisor and the attitude of the supervisor. The student-trainees, for their part, emphasize the educational supervision environment, the attitude of the supervisor and the attitude of the student-trainee. Thus, to promote the development of critical thinking among student trainees, the measures mentioned specify that the supervisor must implement a pedagogical approach to supervision anchored in a social-constructivist paradigm to support the development of the student, using a reflective approach in support. In addition, these mentioned systems emphasize the importance of placing the student at the center of their learning by making them a real actor in their development.

Adaptive token selection for efficient detection transformer with dual teacher supervision

Recently DEtection TRansformer(DETR)-based models obtain remarkable performance in object detection and various foundational vision tasks. However, its performance is impeded by high computational demands since it exhibits quadratic scaling with the number of feature tokens. To mitigate redundant computations in some areas like the background, existing works propose static token selection methods, which choose a predefined portion of tokens to forward. However, it is intuitive that the complexity of inference for detection tasks varies depending on the input images. Static token selection methods rely on a fixed keeping ratio, causing performance degradation in complex scenes and inefficiency in simple scenes. To address this issue, we propose an Adaptive Token Selection method for DETR (ATS-DETR) that dynamically chooses the token keeping ratio based on the complexity of the input to retain the most salient tokens. To explicitly control the sparsity and improve the performance of ATS-DETR, we put forward a novel approach called Dual Teacher Supervision to train the ATS-DETR. Specifically, we utilize a weak teacher to assist the model in distinguishing input complexity and a strong teacher for enhancing overall model performance through feature distillation. We further introduce the Global Distillation to minish the disparities of the feature patterns extracted from ATS-DETR and the strong teacher model. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ATS-DETR attains better performance compared to Deformable DETR while achieving an 83% reduction of GFLOPs in the encoder, and outperforms all the static token selection methods.
