Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 12
Abstract
Objectives: The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the effectiveness of two learning approaches: traditional lecture and self-learning video in preclinical pediatric dentistry course teaching stainless steel crown preparation and restoration of the second primary molar through assessing knowledge gained by thirdyear dental students. Methods: A video and PowerPoint presentation of stainless steel crown preparation and restoration were produced and assessed for accuracy and validity. All female third-year dental students were randomly assigned to traditional lecture or self-learning video. Immediately after each method, students were asked to take an assessment consisting of a questionnaire, which was based on the material, and information presented and included 16-item questions (multiple choice and true/false) as an outcome measure. Data from resulting evaluations between the two groups was considered for statistical analysis using independent t-test and chisquare test. Results: The mean + standard deviations of the total scores of lecture and video groups were 9.09 + 2.114 and 8.50 + 2.041 respectively. There was no significant difference between the two methods (p=0.35). For the question: “Was this presentation helpful in teaching and improving your knowledge of stainless steel crown preparation and restoration?” The answer was yes in 86.96% of the lecture group and 82.61% for video group. About 73.91% of the lecture group reported that this method was somewhat effective in teaching and increasing their knowledge of stainless steel crown preparation and restoration compared to 43.48% for the video group. In addition, students would like to integrate a video in the lecture. About 60.87% of the lecture group reported that they are likely to use this method compared to 47.83% of the video group. Conclusions: Traditional lecture and self-learning video approaches for teaching stainless steel crown preparation and restoration of the second primary molar tested in this study were both effective in producing high total scores for the third-year dental students
