The purpose of this paper is to report the results of a survey assessing the application of constructs related to the acquisition of psychomotor skills in the preclinic curriculum. Questionnaires were mailed to all departments of operative dentistry, fixed prosthodontics, removable prosthodontics, pediatric dentistry, and periodontics. Personal and institutional anonymity were maintained. Approximately 70 percent of all surveys were returned. Results suggest that there are insufficient opportunities for students to define desired outcomes and performances. Students usually are not required to generate knowledge of results or knowledge of performance, both of which appear to be closely related to the acquisition of motor skill. Finally, the conditions under which dental motor skills are acquired do not simulate those characteristic of clinical practice, and adequate simulations of actual dental conditions often are not utilized. Significant improvement in preclinical instruction can be attained through application of findings in the motor skill literature.
本文旨在报告一项调查结果，该调查评估了与临床前课程中运动技能习得相关概念的应用情况。问卷被邮寄给了所有口腔外科、固定修复学、可摘局部义齿修复学、儿童牙科学和牙周病学部门。个人和机构信息均予以保密。所有调查问卷的回收率约为70%。结果表明，学生们缺乏足够的机会来明确期望的结果和表现。学生通常不需要产生结果知识或表现知识，而这两者似乎都与运动技能的习得密切相关。最后，获得牙科运动技能的条件并未模拟临床实践的特征，而且往往没有利用对实际牙科情况的充分模拟。通过应用运动技能文献中的研究结果，临床前教学可以得到显著改善。
