“…In other previous studies, the overlap and linkage of the educational contents covered in each basic dental hygiene subject were checked to introduce an integrated curriculum in the field of basic dental hygiene. As a result, it was confirmed that the integrated curriculum within the basic dental hygiene field was applicable as all basic dental hygiene subjects had overlapping educational contents 7) .…”

“…Currently, the basic dental hygiene curriculum still consists of various subjects in a subject-based segmented form. Thus, it is an inappropriate method for acquiring basic dental hygiene knowledge, which provides critical thinking and scientific evidence for decision-making in clinical practice 7) . In the study of Kwon et al 23) , which confirmed the convergence factors affected by the basic dental hygiene subjects, the students' satisfaction with the basic dental hygiene subjects was low.…”

“…The integrated curriculum means integrated teaching and learning among subjects and is a curriculum that removes the boundaries that separate subjects 5) . In addition, the integrated curriculum can be said to be a curriculum 116 that can broaden the scope of practical-focused thinking and enhance problem-solving ability through learning contents that allow understanding of the whole rather than fragmentary knowledge 6,7) . As the integrated curriculum focuses on creatively solving problems in the clinical field and improving the ability to apply them to clinical problems, it can be said to be a suitable curriculum for nurturing health-related professionals 8) .…”

So far, studies, such as the development of a model for integrated curriculum in dental hygiene education 9,10) , presentation of operation plan for integrated curriculum 2) , confirmation of linkage of subject contents for integrated curriculum development 7) , and confirmation of demand for integrated curriculum 11) , have been conducted for the introduction of the integrated curriculum in the dental hygiene curriculum. These preceding studies provided basic data for the development of an integrated curriculum.…”

“…Among subjects covered by the Department of Dental Hygiene, basic dental hygiene is the most basic of the professional knowledge to be dealt with in the dental hygiene study. This is because it provides scientific evidence to solve clinical problems to strengthen the ability to link and integrate the knowledge acquired in various basic dental hygiene subjects and use it in the clinical field It is necessary to operate an integrated curriculum for basic dental hygiene subjects 7) . Although previous studies revealed overlapping educational contents among basic dental hygiene subjects, they are still being operated in a divided form for each subject, acting as a limiting factor in linking and integrating knowledge as well as developing utilization and problem-solving skills 7) .…”

Background: In the dental hygiene curriculum, efforts are being made to introduce an integrated curriculum based on the competency of a dental hygienist. Because there is a connection and overlap in learning contents between Dental Nutrition and Oral Biochemistry, which are basic dental hygiene subjects, it is possible to integrate these two subjects. This study aims to derive Nutritional Biochemistry as an integrated curriculum for Dental Nutrition and Oral Biochemistry, and to develop learning goals and competencies for Dental Nutritional Biochemistry. Methods: The learning contents of the integrated curriculum were composed by referring to the contents of the Dental Nutrition and Oral Biochemistry textbooks, and learning goals were derived from the learning contents. Moreover, competency was developed by analyzing the duties of a dental hygienist that can be performed through the learning goals. The Delphi survey was conducted twice to verify the content validity ratio (CVR) of the competence and the learning goal of the integrated curriculum. Results: In the first Delphi survey, the CVR for two competencies was 0.56 or higher. Moreover, it was revised based on expert's opinions, and as a result of the second Delphi survey after the revision, the CVR was either increased or maintained. Eighty-five learning goals were derived by referring to the textbook. According to CVR and expert opinions, after the first Delphi survey, the number of learning goals was reduced to 69. After the second Delphi survey, 68 learning goals were finally derived. Conclusion: The development process of the integrated curriculum conducted in this study can be utilized for integration between subjects in basic dental hygiene.

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The purpose of this study is to propose learning objectives in social dental hygiene by analyzing and reviewing learning objectives in oral health administration area of the existing public oral health. This study is a cross-sectional study. The subjects of the study selected with convenience extraction were 15 members of the social dental hygiene subcommittee of the Korean Society of Dental Hygiene Science. Data collection was conducted by self-filling questionnaire. The research tool is from 48 items of A division in the book of learning objectives in the dental hygienist national examination, and this study classified each of them into 'dental hygiene job relevance', 'dental hygiene competency relevance', 'timeliness', and 'value discrimination of educational goal setting' to comprise 192 items. Also, to collect expert opinions, this study conducted Delphi survey on 7 academic experts. Statistical analysis was performed using the IBM SPSS Statistics ver. 23.0 program (IBM Co., Armonk, NY, USA). Recoding was performed according to the degree of relevance of each learning objective and frequency analysis was performed. This study removed 18 items from the whole learning objectives in the dental hygienist national examination in the oral health administration area of public oral health. Fifteen revisions were made and 15 existing learning objectives were maintained. Forty-five learning objectives were proposed as new social dental hygiene learning objectives. The topics of learning objectives are divided into social security and medical assistance, oral health care system, oral health administration, and oral health policy. As a result of this study, it was necessary to construct the learning objectives of social dental hygiene in response to changing situation at the time. The contents of education should be revised in order of revision of learning objectives, development of competency, development of learning materials, and national examination.

Background: To train dental hygienists to utilize knowledge in practice, an integrated curriculum based on the competencies of dental hygienists is expanding; however, in the field of basic dental hygiene the curriculum is still fragmented and based on segmented knowledge. This study developed an integrated curriculum based on the competencies of dental hygienists in Anatomy, Histology & Embryology, Physiology, which are subjects for basic dental hygiene that have high linkage and overlap. Methods: After selecting the learning objectives for the integrated curriculum from those of Anatomy, Histology & Embryology, Physiology, the duties of the dental hygienist in relation to the learning objectives were analyzed. Learning objectives were combined with the duties of a dental hygienist to derive competencies for an integrated curriculum. Referring to the syllabus and learning objectives for each subject, the weekly educational content, learning objectives, and credits of the integrated curriculum were derived. After conducting a Delphi survey to validate the competency and content of the derived integrated curriculum, an integrated curriculum was developed. Results: By using the first and second Delphi surveys, four competencies were developed for dental hygienists that can be achieved through an integrated basic dental hygiene curriculum. In addition, an integrated curriculum including the courses Anatomy, Histology & Embryology, Physiology, Structure and Function of the Human Body/Head/Neck, and Structure and Function of the Oral Cavity was established. Conclusion: This study presents a specific example for developing a competency-based integrated curriculum that can be used as a framework to derive a competency-based integrated curriculum among subjects that can be integrated according to the linkage of learning contents and the competencies that can be achieved.
