Associative Learning01:27

Associative Learning

496
Associative learning is a fundamental concept in behavioral psychology, wherein a connection is established between two stimuli or events, leading to a learned response. This process is critical in understanding how behaviors are acquired and modified. Conditioning, the mechanism through which associations are formed, can be divided into two main types: classical conditioning and operant conditioning, each elucidating different aspects of associative learning.

Teeth01:15

Teeth

553
The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth Anatomy

733
The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

314
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.

Learned Behavior II01:20

Learned Behavior II

Learned Behavior IITeaching a dog to sit or learning how to ride a bike are examples of learned behaviors—actions acquired through experience and practice. These behaviors are not instinctive; instead, they develop over time as individuals interact with their environment. While some behaviors are automatic (like blinking), others are learned over time by watching, practicing, or being trained.Animals learn from their parents, their environment, and sometimes from trial and error. Whether a...
Purposive Learning01:22

Purposive Learning

179
E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Educational Technology
  • Dental School Curriculum

Background:

  • Interactive elements in technology enhance student enjoyment and learning effectiveness.
  • Gamification, a form of game-based learning, is increasingly explored in educational settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the use of an online gamification platform in a dental school.
  • To compare game-based learning attitudes among dental students across different years of training.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional survey was administered to 206 dental medicine students (Years 1-4).
  • The survey used an 11-item, 5-point Likert scale to assess perceptions of the Kahoot! quiz game.
  • Statistical analysis included Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests to compare responses between genders and academic years.

Main Results:

  • Male students reported trying harder than female students to answer game questions (p=0.027).
  • First-year (Y1) students showed higher motivation, attention, understanding, and exam preparation compared to upperclassmen.
  • Y1 students reported games helped them win (p=0.002), hold attention (p<0.001), understand concepts (p=0.021), and retain information (p=0.010).

Conclusions:

  • Dental students across all years perceive gamified learning positively.
  • Gamified learning is particularly beneficial for first-year dental students in identifying difficult concepts and enhancing motivation.
  • The study highlights the potential of gamification to improve the dental school learning experience.
