This paper describes a curriculum project designed to help dental students identify, reason about, and adequately resolve ethical problems in their chosen profession. The project involved application of a theoretical approach to the study of ethical development that had not been applied previously in professional education. Tests were designed to measure the abilities defined by the theory and used to evaluate the program and to monitor student progress. To date, studies of student abilities and attitudes clearly indicate that the curriculum is needed. Learning activities, created to promote the abilities, are based on studies of the real-life ethical problems confronting dentists and dental students. A program of research and development has been established to study the influence of this curriculum on the abilities defined, and to link them to clinical performance. Half of the dental schools in the United States have requested these materials. Suggestions are made to professional schools considering expanding the teaching of ethics.
本文描述了一个课程项目，旨在帮助牙科专业学生识别、思考并妥善解决其所选专业中的伦理问题。该项目涉及一种伦理发展研究的理论方法的应用，这种方法此前未曾在专业教育中应用过。设计了测试来衡量该理论所定义的能力，并用于评估课程以及监测学生的进展。迄今为止，对学生能力和态度的研究清楚地表明需要这样的课程。为促进这些能力而开展的学习活动基于对牙医和牙科专业学生所面临的现实生活中的伦理问题的研究。已经建立了一个研发项目，以研究该课程对所定义能力的影响，并将这些能力与临床实践表现联系起来。美国一半的牙科学校已索要这些材料。文中还向考虑扩大伦理教学的专业学校提出了建议。
