Dimensions of effective preclinical teaching

The purpose of this study was to identify the factors underlying dental students' evaluations of preclinical instruction. Ninety sophomore students in academic year 1979-80 and 74 sophomore students in academic year 1980-81 rated five preclinical instructors in a fixed prosthodontic technique course. At the end of the course, prior to final examinations, students received a 24-item evaluation instrument designed to assess preclinical teaching behavior. All items were rated on a 5-point scale, with response options ranging from no agreement to strong agreement. Factor analytic techniques were used to identify common sources of variation among items. Results indicate that 22 of the 24 items correspond to two underlying, stable dimensions that summarize preclinical teaching effectiveness, teaching style, and orientation toward students. The discussion compares teaching effectiveness dimensions identified in dental education studies with dimensions identified in studies of college instruction.

Assessment of a prosthodontic course for dental hygienists using self‐instructional learning modules

Self-instructional learning modules were used to teach the skill portion of a continuing education course in prosthodontics for dental hygienists. Short- and long-term results obtained from course evaluations and a follow-up survey indicate that dental hygienists are willing and able to extend their traditionally preventive role to include prosthodontic care. The reaction of the course participants to the self-instructional learning modules suggests topics for development of additional learning modules for prosthodontic training beyond the basic dental hygiene curriculum as well as for continuing education.
