Background:

  • Accurate self-judgement is essential for dental clinicians.
  • Post-graduation, external evaluation of dental work is limited, necessitating strong self-assessment skills.
  • The University of Adelaide's Dentistry Department has developed a self-assessment procedure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the implementation and effectiveness of a self-assessment procedure in dental education.
  • To detail the establishment of assessment criteria and performance levels.
  • To present evidence of student acceptance and the value of self-assessment in dental learning.

Main Methods:

  • Initial pilot study in oral diagnosis subject.
  • Expansion of the self-assessment procedure across all years of the dental course.
