I R Biller, P E Kerber

    Journal of Dental Education
    |April 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Dental hygiene instructor grading reliability varies significantly, with instructor differences accounting for 26-94% of student scores. Calibration and clinical rotation are recommended for equitable dental hygiene education.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental hygiene education
    • Clinical assessment
    • Grading reliability

    Background:

    • Equitable grading in dental hygiene is essential for student progression.
    • Variability in instructor assessment can impact student performance evaluation.
    • Standardizing scaling error detection is crucial for consistent dental hygiene training.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To statistically analyze the reliability of scaling error detection among dental hygiene instructors.
    • To identify factors contributing to grading variance in dental hygiene clinical assessments.
    • To determine the impact of instructor experience and educational background on grading consistency.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to assess grading reliability.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Ten students' scaling performance scores were evaluated across 34 patients.
  • Nine instructors were grouped by experience (inexperienced, experienced graduate students, faculty).

    • Main Results:

    • Significant inter-instructor differences were found in the inexperienced group.
    • Instructor differences accounted for 26% to 94% of student grade variance.
    • Experienced graduate students showed the highest grading consistency (26% variance), while inexperienced graduate students showed the least (94% variance).

    Conclusions:

    • Instructor experience and educational background significantly influence grading consistency in dental hygiene.
    • High variance suggests a need for standardized instructor calibration and clinical rotation.
    • Implementing calibration and rotation can enhance grading equity and reliability in dental hygiene programs.
