Abstract

Objective: Remote teaching strategies have been widely adapted in recent years but their impact on dental students' learning outcomes is less well understood. The aim of this mixed-method pilot study was to examine the impact of remote teaching on undergraduate dental student's learning outcome as assessed by examination performance and student feedback in an orthodontics course.

Methods: Out of the lectures (19 in total), 10 were delivered remotely (live online lecture or video recording) and 9 as traditional classroom teaching in 2023. The course examination, completed by 47 of the 48 course participants, consisted of 38 single best answer multiple choice questions with 2 questions dedicated to each lecture topic.

Results: The average lecture attendance was 83% of the students enrolled in the course. Statistical analysis revealed no significant association between examination scores and the mode of teaching or the mandatory nature of the lecture (rs  = -0.022, p = .897 and rs  = -0.048, p = .773, respectively). However, individual students' examination scores correlated positively with the frequency of lecture attendance (rs  = 0.416, p = .004). Students' preferences were in favor of blended learning approach, although notable individual differences in opinions were observed in the feedback received.

Conclusion: The findings of this study support the hypothesis that remote teaching generates an equally good learning outcome in orthodontics as classroom lectures, as reflected by examination performance.

加强口腔医学教育:远程教学对口腔正畸专业学生学习成绩的影响--一项试点研究。
目的:近年来,远程教学策略已被广泛采用,但其对牙科学生学习效果的影响却不甚了解。这项混合方法试点研究旨在考察远程教学对口腔正畸学课程中通过考试成绩和学生反馈评估的本科生学习成果的影响:在 2023 年进行的授课(共 19 次)中,10 次为远程授课(在线直播授课或视频录制),9 次为传统课堂教学。48 名学员中有 47 人完成了课程考试,考试由 38 道单项最佳答案选择题组成,每个讲座主题有 2 道题:结果:选课学生的平均听课率为 83%。统计分析显示,考试成绩与教学模式或讲座的强制性之间没有明显联系(rs = -0.022,p = .897;rs = -0.048,p = .773)。然而,学生的考试成绩与听课次数呈正相关(rs = 0.416,p = 0.004)。尽管在收到的反馈意见中观察到了明显的个体差异,但学生们更倾向于混合式学习方法:本研究的结果支持远程教学在口腔正畸学中能产生与课堂讲授同样好的学习效果的假设,考试成绩也反映了这一点。
