Material and Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study of 103 Master 1 and Master 2 students in dental surgery. The variables were related to items concerning framing, clinical teaching and assessment of clinical prosthodontics learning during the last 2 years of dental studies. Using the Likerts scale, the student had to make a quantitative assessment by assigning a score ranging from 1 to 5, depending on the degree of accreditation. The SPSS ® software version 17.0 was used for statistical analysis. The comparison of averages used the Student t test at 5% risk of error.
Results:The majority of the sample (79.6%) felt that the number of teachers was insufficient. Teachers were not available according to 51.4% of students. Training objectives were clearly defined for 81.5% of students. For 44.7% of them, the number of course hours was sufficient for clinical learning. Concerning the certification evaluation of learning, 66% of the students disapproved of the single final formula.
Conclusion:The practice of clinical teaching evaluation by students is an essential pillar of the overall approach to improve the prosthodontics teaching.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
