Summary
Dental students often overestimate their video viewing time when self-reporting. Learning management systems (LMS) offer more accurate data on student engagement with course videos, revealing discrepancies in viewing habits.
Area of Science:
- Dental Education
- Educational Technology
- Student Engagement Metrics
Background:
- Traditional student engagement assessment relies on class attendance and questionnaires.
- Learning Management Systems (LMS) offer objective data for evaluating student performance.
- Accurate measurement of student engagement with digital learning resources is crucial.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare dental students' self-reported course video viewing with objective data from an LMS.
- To identify discrepancies between perceived and actual student engagement with video content.
- To evaluate the reliability of self-reported data versus LMS analytics in dental education.
Main Methods:
- A questionnaire captured self-reported video viewing habits from dental students post-course.
- Student viewing data and time spent on videos were extracted from the LMS.
- McNemar's test was employed to analyze differences between self-reported and LMS data.
Main Results:
- Significant differences were observed between self-reported and LMS data regarding video watch percentage, re-watch frequency, and viewing times (p < 0.001).
- While 71% of students self-reported watching over half the videos, LMS data showed only 40% did.
- LMS data revealed 13% of students did not watch any videos, a finding not captured by self-reporting.
Conclusions:
- LMS technology provides a more accurate method for tracking student study habits than self-reporting.
- Students tend to overestimate their video engagement time when relying on self-assessment.
- Objective LMS data is essential for a precise understanding of student interaction with online learning materials.

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,...

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.

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.

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...

The t-test is a statistical method used to compare the sample mean with a population mean or compare two means from two data sets. The test statistic is calculated from the standard deviation, mean, and number of measurements in the data set at a selected confidence interval and then compared to a table of critical values at this confidence level. If the test statistic is smaller than the critical value, the null hypothesis is accepted. In this case, we state that the difference between the...
