The aim of this study was to compare the preclinical and clinical undergraduate dental students' perceptions of their educational climate (EC). In addition it will be compared with other local and international studies.
Students enrolled in their third and fourth years (preclinical phase) and students in their fifth and sixth years (clinical phase) of the Bachelor of Dental Science at the University of Jazan, Saudi Arabia, were invited to complete a WhatsApp media survey, which included demographics and the Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM). This scale measured students' overall perceptions of the EC in five domains: learning, teaching, academic self-perception, atmosphere, and social self-perception. Data were analyzed with Student's -tests and ANOVA to compare between and within groups.
A total of 272 participants, 140 (51.5%) preclinical and 132 (48.5%) clinical students,took part in the study. Students were generally positive about their learning climate, with overall DREEM scores of 125.19 and 126.21 (preclinical) to 124.10 (clinical) out of a possible score of 200 phases. Student's perceptions of teaching (26.18±3.24/72.72%) and atmosphere (28.08±5.29/63.82%) were the highest and lowest scores, respectively, and both scores were positive.
No differences between the preclinical and clinical phases of the curriculum point to the structure of learning, teaching, academic, social self-perception in health professional degrees. Further research should investigate the weak points in the social and atmospheric climate.
本研究旨在比较临床前和临床阶段的本科牙科学生对其教育环境(EC)的看法。此外,还将与其他本地和国际研究进行比较。
邀请沙特阿拉伯吉赞大学牙科学士学位课程三年级和四年级(临床前阶段)以及五年级和六年级(临床阶段)的学生完成一项WhatsApp媒体调查,该调查包括人口统计学信息和邓迪就绪教育环境量表(DREEM)。该量表从学习、教学、学术自我认知、氛围和社会自我认知五个领域衡量学生对教育环境的总体看法。采用学生t检验和方差分析对组间和组内数据进行分析。
共有272名参与者,其中140名(51.5%)临床前学生和132名(48.5%)临床学生参与了研究。学生们对他们的学习环境总体持积极态度,临床前阶段和临床阶段的DREEM总分分别为125.19和126.21(临床前)至124.10(临床),满分200分。学生对教学(26.18±3.24/72.72%)和氛围(28.08±5.29/63.82%)的看法得分分别最高和最低,且两个得分均为正数。
课程临床前和临床阶段之间没有差异,这表明健康专业学位在学习、教学、学术和社会自我认知方面的结构特点。进一步的研究应调查社会和氛围环境中的薄弱环节。
