Effect of feedback on student attitudes.

R C Scheid, A D'Costa, M Gnezda-Winter

    Journal of Dental Education
    |May 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Dental students using self-assessment tests and computer feedback improved attitudes toward the testing program. However, their self-perception as dentists did not significantly change.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental Education
    • Educational Psychology
    • Assessment and Evaluation

    Background:

    • Student attitudes towards academic testing programs can influence engagement and learning outcomes.
    • Computer-generated feedback is increasingly utilized in educational settings.
    • Self-assessment tools offer opportunities for students to evaluate their own understanding and performance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of self-assessment tests with computer-generated feedback on dental students' attitudes.
    • To assess changes in attitudes toward both a specific departmental testing program and self-perception as operative dentists.

    Main Methods:

    • A quasi-experimental design involving 94 junior dental students.
    • Two groups: experimental (self-assessment + computer feedback) and control.
    • Pre- and post-intervention surveys using semantic differential and Likert-scale instruments.

    Main Results:

    • The experimental group showed a significant positive shift in attitude towards the Operative Dentistry testing program.
    • No significant change in self-perception as operative dentists was observed in the experimental group.
    • The control group demonstrated no significant attitude changes in either category.

    Conclusions:

    • Integrating self-assessment and computer-generated feedback can positively influence student perceptions of departmental testing.
    • Further research may be needed to explore methods for improving dental students' self-efficacy and professional self-perception through feedback mechanisms.
