BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Local anesthesia (LA) training is an essential clinical skill in dental education. However, the traditional teaching method of student-to-student injection has ethical concerns. This study investigated whether a flipped classroom (FC) teaching model with instructional videos improves students' skills in administering LA.
Fourth-year dental students in 2017 (traditional teaching, n = 70) and 2018 (FC model, n = 79) were assessed for their ability to perform an inferior alveolar nerve block and lingual nerve block. The FC group watched pre-recorded videos prior to a hands-on training session. Skills were evaluated using a 24-item checklist converted to letter grades. Perceptions of the FC approach were also surveyed.
The FC group showed statistically significantly higher final grades than the traditional teaching group ( < 0.05). Most FC students agreed that the videos improved clarity and learning objectives.
The FC teaching model with procedural video instruction improved skills and confidence in administering LA over traditional teaching methods. Videos can be a beneficial supplement in pre-clinical dental training.
背景/目的:局部麻醉(LA)培训是牙科教育中的一项基本临床技能。然而,传统的学生对学生注射教学方法存在伦理问题。本研究调查了采用教学视频的翻转课堂(FC)教学模式是否能提高学生进行局部麻醉的技能。
对2017年(传统教学组,n = 70)和2018年(FC模式组,n = 79)的四年级牙科学生进行了下牙槽神经阻滞和舌神经阻滞操作能力评估。FC组在实践培训课程之前观看预先录制的视频。使用转换为字母等级的24项检查表评估技能。还对FC教学方法的看法进行了调查。
FC组的最终成绩在统计学上显著高于传统教学组(<0.05)。大多数FC组学生认为视频提高了清晰度和学习目标。
与传统教学方法相比,采用操作视频指导的FC教学模式提高了进行局部麻醉的技能和信心。视频可以成为临床前牙科培训的有益补充。
