Uncivil behavior by a faculty member or student can threaten a classroom environment and make it less conducive to learning. The aim of this study was to explore faculty behaviors that dental faculty and students perceive to be uncivil when exhibited in the classroom and clinic. In 2015, all faculty, administrators, and students at a single academic dental institution were invited to participate in an electronic survey that used a five-point Likert scale for respondents to indicate their agreement that 33 faculty behaviors were uncivil. Response rates were 49% for faculty and 59% for students. Significant differences were found between student and faculty responses on 22 of the 33 behavioral items. None of the three category composite scores differed significantly for students compared to faculty respondents. The category composite scores were not significantly associated with gender, ethnicity, or age for faculty or students. Overall, this study found significant differences between students and faculty about perceived uncivil faculty behaviors, though not for categories of behaviors.
教职员工或学生的不文明行为会威胁课堂环境，使其不利于学习。本研究的目的是探讨牙科教职员工和学生认为在课堂和临床中表现出的不文明的教职员工行为。2015年，一所学术牙科机构的所有教职员工、管理人员和学生都被邀请参加一项电子调查，该调查使用五点李克特量表让受访者表明他们是否同意33种教职员工行为是不文明的。教职员工的回复率为49%，学生的回复率为59%。在33个行为项目中的22个项目上，学生和教职员工的回复存在显著差异。与教职员工受访者相比，学生在三个类别综合得分上均无显著差异。类别综合得分与教职员工或学生的性别、种族或年龄均无显著关联。总体而言，本研究发现学生和教职员工在感知到的不文明教职员工行为方面存在显著差异，尽管在行为类别方面没有差异。
