Area of Science:

  • Dental Education
  • Endodontology
  • Medical Pedagogy

Background:

  • Traditional endodontology courses rely heavily on lectures.
  • Undergraduate dental education requires effective methods for practical skill development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement and evaluate a novel endodontology course for dental students.
  • To foster independent, reflective learning and self-assessment skills in endodontology.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of student responses from two cohorts in laboratory courses (crown restoration and endodontology).
  • Modification of the endodontology course: reduced lectures, introduced tutorials, private study time, and self-assessment in practical classes.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Increased student confidence in practical skills despite reduced operative practice time.
  • Perceived enhancement in problem-solving abilities and motivation for deeper understanding.
  • Tutor reports indicated improved accuracy in student self-assessments over time.
  • Conclusions:

    • The new pedagogical approach positively impacted student learning in endodontology.
    • Developing accurate self-assessment skills in students remains an ongoing educational challenge.
