Interactive computer-aided learning and testing (CAL/CAT) significantly improved dental student performance and engagement compared to traditional methods. This technology enhances knowledge transfer and understanding of complex medical data in patient-based training.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Education
  • Medical Informatics
  • Educational Technology

Background:

  • Traditional teaching methods in dentistry may not fully engage students or optimize knowledge transfer.
  • The integration of technology in medical education is crucial for enhancing learning outcomes.
  • Interactive, problem-oriented learning approaches are increasingly recognized for their effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To empirically validate the effectiveness of interactive, problem-oriented computer-aided learning (CAL) and computer-aided testing (CAT) in dental studies.
  • To compare CAL/CAT methods directly against conventional teaching approaches.
  • To assess the impact of CAL/CAT on student engagement, knowledge acquisition, and overall course experience.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative study involving 95 third and fourth-year dental students in an oral maxillofacial implantology seminar.

  • One group (n=47) received conventional teaching; the other (n=48) used mobiTED, an interactive CAL/CAT system.
  • Student learning was evaluated via examination and subjective experience protocols using visual analogue scales (VAS).

    • Main Results:

    • The CAL/CAT group achieved significantly higher examination scores (median 89.2%) compared to the conventional group (median 76.0%).
    • Subjective experience analysis via VAS showed statistically significant differences favoring the CAL/CAT system.
    • CAL/CAT use led to increased student attentiveness, acceptance, and perceived course attractiveness.

    Conclusions:

    • Interactive, problem-oriented CAL/CAT systems enhance student attentiveness, acceptance, and engagement in dental training.
    • CAL/CAT-mediated instruction improves communication, knowledge transfer, and cognitive assimilation of complex medical data.
    • This technology facilitates the acquisition, appraisal, and understanding of intricate patient-based medical information.
