“…Learners can create anatomical knowledge for themselves through discussion with colleagues and by questioning instructors in advance about the contents to be learned. Previous research indicated that quiz games and 3D visualization materials gained favorable responses from learners, which led to improved academic achievement (Kim, 2019). Using game‐based learning platforms such as Kahoot!…”

“…According to Papa et al (2022), only two studies of gross anatomy education during the COVID‐19 pandemic have involved learners other than medical students, and dental hygiene was not included. Research in this field relating to gross anatomy distance education or 3D visualization tools has been inadequate to date (Choi & Hong, 2021; Kim, 2019).

The provision of distance education has increased rapidly over the past few years owing to the COVID‐19 pandemic. The core of gross anatomy distance education is three‐dimensional (3D) visualization of anatomical structures, and the use of simple 3D visualization tools has increased as distance education has become more popular. The purpose of this study was to establish a more effective operation plan in dental hygiene by investigating learners' opinions about distance education of gross anatomy and 3D visualization tools, and by comparing and analyzing their academic achievements. The study involved 250 students and comprised an analysis of 120 students who took a head and neck anatomy class at the Department of Dental Hygiene at D University via distance learning during 2020–2022, and 130 graduates who had completed the class via face‐to‐face learning during 2015–2017. An online survey of 120 of the enrolled students comprised 10 questions asking for opinions on the head and neck anatomy distance learning classes, five questions on the 3D visualization tool, and five on general characteristics. Overall, the learners had positive perceptions of distance education for head and neck anatomy and the 3D visualization tool. Among the education methods compared, they generally preferred blended learning (n = 47, 39.2%). There was a significant preference for the distance learning method of asynchronous classes (n = 86, 94.5%). Analysis of academic achievements according to whether or not distance education was conducted revealed a significantly higher score in the face‐to‐face class group (P < 0.05). A blended learning method can be effective in increasing learner satisfaction and improving academic achievement in gross anatomy classes on dental hygiene. It is suggested that theoretical material should be learned through asynchronous content and knowledge expanded through small‐group activities during face‐to‐face learning. This will help establish a standard model for teaching of gross anatomy in dental hygiene in the postpandemic era.

“…Among them, 3D visualization applications are especially useful because the learner can observe the anatomical structure in three dimensions as desired by using a mobile device. In addition, game‐based learning increases the interest and motivation of learners in anatomy (Farkhondeh and Geist, 2015; Ha and Choi, 2019; Kim, 2019).…”

Dental hygienists are experts contributing to the promotion of oral health. Dental hygienists in Korea perform oral health education, preventive dental treatment, dental treatment cooperation, and dental business management (Kwun and Jo, 2006). In addition, they are in charge of implementing public oral health projects for residents at public health centers (Won et al., 2013). In countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Hong Kong, the systems under which dental therapists, dental hygienists, and oral health therapists work are operated separately, whereas in Korea there is a single unified dental hygienist system (Chen et al., 2021). However, the legal scope of the work performed by Korean dental hygienists is narrow compared with what they actually do, so it is necessary to redefine the scope of their work and expand that which is legally permitted (Kim and
