In order to effectively educate students on tooth defect diseases and restoration techniques
the teaching and research team at the School of Stomatology of Qingdao University developed an integrated course operative dentistry. This course is specifically designed to align with the undergraduate curriculum reform requirements of "Three Early
Two Multiple and One Integration".
Methods
2
The teaching practice of operative dentistry was conducted with the stomatology undergraduates of grade 2020 and 2021. The course group redesigned the curriculum by reorganizing teaching content
rebuilding teaching resources
reconstructing teaching mode
and reshaping the evaluation system. Evaluation of the curriculum design included test scores
satisfaction questionnaires
and teacher self-evaluation. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 27.0 software
including independent sample
t
-tests for numerical variables and Fisher's exact test or Wilcoxon rank sum test for categorical variables.
Results
2
Through the integrated course learning
92.68% (38/41) of the students of grade 2020 and 97.44% (38/39) of the students of grade 2021 can basically or completely master various dental defect repair schemes and understand the importance of preserving natural tooth. 82.93% (34/41) of the students of grade 2020 and 100.00% (39/39) of the students of grade 2021 could basically or completely master the key points of various dental defect restorations.
Conclusions
2
Through the practice of teaching
it has been confirmed that the integrated course of operative dentistry is beneficial to students' mastering the knowledge and skills of dental defect diseases and their restoration in a more comprehensive way
and is conducive to the cultivation of clinical thinking
hands-on ability and the patient-centered
comprehensive problem-solving thinking
which is in line with the guidance on the innovation and development of medical education.
