Summary
Reflective learning with feedback improved dental students
Area of Science:
- Dental Education
- Medical Education
- Healthcare Professions Education
Background:
- The accuracy of dental students' self-assessment of clinical competence is frequently debated.
- Effective methods for enhancing self-assessment accuracy in dental education are needed.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate if reflective learning combined with feedback improves dental students' self-assessment accuracy regarding their preparedness in dental competencies.
- To explore the relationship between self-perceived competence and objective instructor evaluations.
Main Methods:
- A 16-week clinical rotation intervention incorporating reflective learning and feedback was implemented for third- and fourth-year dental students in South Korea.
- Students self-assessed their perceived clinical competence post-intervention.
- Self-perceived competence was correlated with instructor clinical evaluations.
Main Results:
- Students reported highest confidence in periodontal treatment and lowest in orthodontic care.
- Fourth-year students demonstrated higher self-perceived competence across all areas compared to third-year students.
- Self-perceived competence in periodontal treatment and oral medicine significantly predicted instructor evaluations.
Conclusions:
- Structured reflective learning with feedback may enhance dental students' self-perceived clinical preparedness.
- Further research is warranted to validate the impact of reflective learning on objective clinical skill assessment in dental students.

Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...

01:24Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback
211
Self-esteem is intricately tied to our perception of competence and our ability to exert control over our lives. One of the primary sources of this perception is performance feedback — the ongoing evaluation of our actions in terms of success and failure. According to Franks and Marolla (1976), people derive self-worth from experiencing themselves as causal agents, capable of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. This process nurtures a critical component of self-esteem:...

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

It underpins many psychological practices, from mindfulness meditation to psychotherapy and self-help strategies. However, empirical evidence challenges the accuracy of introspection as a means of understanding oneself.Limitations of Introspective InsightSeminal work by Nisbett and Wilson demonstrated that individuals are frequently unaware of the true causes...

The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...
