Abstract

Highly competent clinical practice requires cognitive, psychomotor and affective skills. Therefore, the ultimate goal of dental education is for practitioners to be competent in all of these domains. While many methods have been introduced to assess knowledge and non-technical skills, it is still very difficult for educators to assess technical skill.

Assessment methods for technical skills are still not well established because it is very difficult to assure objectivity, validity and fairness. Nonetheless, technical skill is especially important in dental treatments, along with knowledge and attitude. The aim of this review was to summarize the methods of technical skill training in dental education and how they are assessed.

This is a literature review. We searched PubMed MEDLINE using terms related to technical skill training and those assessment as of June 2020 and reviewed them.

There have been many reports introducing methods of technical skill training and assessment, including the use of digital technology. However, no single assessment method had demonstrated validity of it. Technical skill training is very important in dental education and there are various ways of learning. The validity of current assessment methods is limited; therefore, a combination of several methods may achieve the best results.

牙科教育中的技术技能培训与评估

高水平的临床实践需要认知、精神运动和情感技能。因此，牙科教育的最终目标是让从业者在所有这些领域都能胜任。虽然已经引入了许多方法来评估知识和非技术技能，但对于教育工作者来说，评估技术技能仍然非常困难。技术技能的评估方法还没有很好地建立起来，因为很难保证客观、有效和公平。尽管如此，在牙科治疗中，技术技能、知识和态度尤为重要。本文综述了牙科教育中技术技能培训的方法及其评价方法。这是一篇文献综述。我们使用截至2020年6月与技术技能培训和评估相关的术语检索PubMed MEDLINE并对其进行了审查。有许多报告介绍了技术技能培训和评估的方法，包括数字技术的使用。然而，没有单一的评估方法证明了它的有效性。技术技能培训在牙科教育中非常重要，学习方法多种多样。现有评价方法的有效性有限;因此，几种方法的结合可能会达到最佳效果。
