口腔正畸学临床教学方法改革探讨

Objective To improve the ability of undergraduate dentistry majors to solve orthodontic clinical problems with basic knowledge. Methods A total of 43 undergraduate dentistry majors from Weifang Medical University were divided into two groups and taught by problem-based and lecture-based learning. Pre- and post-tests and a post-questionnaire were given to the participants to evaluate the effects of the two teaching methods. Results Scores of the two groups indicated improved learning without statistical significance. Students preferred problem-based learning over lecture-based learning in compounding theory with clinical practice and communicating ability. Conclusion Problem-based learning was superior in assisting students to solve clinical problems.
