A study was conducted to determine if a change in dental students' attitudes toward three preselected concepts would occur as a result of a traditionally difficult gross anatomy course. In addition, an attempt was made to determine the predictive value of a student's attitudes in determining his or her final grade. The study employed Campbell and Stanley's one group pretest-posttest design. The results indicated that students' attitudes toward a difficult course and themselves did not change significantly, but that a significant negative change did occur in their attitude toward the entire dental educational experience. The results also indicated that students' attitudes toward specific concepts can be successfully employed to predict a portion of their final grade.
开展了一项研究，以确定牙科学生对三个预先选定概念的态度是否会因一门传统上难度较大的大体解剖学课程而发生变化。此外，还试图确定学生态度在预测其最终成绩方面的价值。该研究采用了坎贝尔和斯坦利的单组前测-后测设计。结果表明，学生对一门难度较大课程的态度以及对自身的态度没有显著变化，但他们对整个牙科教育经历的态度出现了显著的负面变化。结果还表明，学生对特定概念的态度可以成功用于预测其最终成绩的一部分。
