Student self-evaluation in preclinical restorative dentistry

L S Forehand, W F Vann, D A Shugars

    Journal of Dental Education
    |April 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study developed an instrument to assess dental students' self-evaluation skills. Findings revealed no correlation between these skills and psychomotor performance, challenging prior research.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental Education
    • Medical Education
    • Psychomotor Skills Assessment

    Background:

    • Student self-evaluation is crucial for skill development.
    • Previous research indicated a positive correlation between self-evaluation and technical skills.
    • The need for reliable instruments to measure these skills in preclinical dental education.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate an instrument for assessing student self-evaluation skills.
    • To investigate the relationship between self-evaluation skills and psychomotor performance in preclinical dental students.
    • To determine if technical skills differentiate self-evaluation abilities or error recognition.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and refinement of a novel self-evaluation skills instrument.
    • Assessment of freshman dental students in a preclinical restorative dentistry laboratory setting.
    • Correlation analysis between self-evaluation scores, faculty-assigned practical grades, and error recognition ability.

    Main Results:

    • The developed instrument effectively assessed student self-evaluation skills.
    • No statistically significant difference was found in self-evaluation skills based on faculty-assigned practical grades (p < .05).
    • Student grades did not correlate with the ability to recognize errors, indicating no relationship between self-evaluation and technical skills.

    Conclusions:

    • The study found no direct relationship between dental students' self-evaluation skills and their psychomotor performance.
    • The developed instrument is valuable for identifying areas in psychomotor skill development needing faculty emphasis.
    • Further research may explore other factors influencing the self-evaluation-skill relationship in dental education.
