Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

1.6K
A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Sources of Self-Esteem III: Social Comparison

388
Social comparison plays a fundamental role in the evaluation of personal success and self-worth. Rather than assessing our achievements in isolation, we interpret their significance relative to personal goals and critically in comparison to the performance of others. A grade of B in a mathematics exam might elicit pride if one's expectation was a C, yet result in disappointment if an A was anticipated or if peers achieved superior results. These comparative evaluations illustrate how both...

Factors Affecting Perception01:25

Factors Affecting Perception

3.2K
Perception is influenced by perceptual set, context, motivation, and emotion. Perceptual set, or perceptual expectancy, refers to the tendency to perceive things in a particular way, influenced by previous experiences and expectations. This phenomenon affects the interpretation of stimuli, creating a set of mental tendencies and assumptions that impact sensory perceptions of sound, taste, touch, and sight.
An illustrative example of a perceptual set is the scenario where an airline pilot told...

Area of Science:

  • Dental Education
  • Medical Education Research
  • Student Assessment

Background:

  • The educational environment significantly impacts student learning and professional development in dental programs.
  • Assessing student perceptions is crucial for curriculum evaluation and enhancement.
  • The Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure (DREEM) is a validated tool for evaluating educational environments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the perceived educational environment of Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) students at the University of Otago.
  • To compare students' 'Expected' versus 'Actual' experiences using the Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure (DREEM).
  • To identify strengths and weaknesses within the BDS curriculum based on student feedback.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of BDS students completed five DREEM surveys throughout their four-year program.
  • Initial expectations were assessed using a modified DREEM questionnaire in the first year.
  • Subsequent surveys measured students' actual perceptions at the end of each professional year.

Main Results:

  • Overall student perceptions of the educational environment were positive.
  • Students identified both strengths and weaknesses in the BDS program.
  • More negative shifts were observed between expected and actual DREEM items, indicating unmet expectations.

Conclusions:

  • Student perceptions of the BDS curriculum evolved over time, reflecting curriculum changes.
  • The study highlights the value of DREEM in understanding student experiences in dental education.
  • A tailored measure for the unique dental education environment may be beneficial.
