Comparison of Learning Methods for Dental Students
Study Overview
This research compared two learning methods for dental students: an online serious game (SimOL) and a pre-recorded lecture. The goal was to see which method better helped students diagnose and plan treatment for oral lesions.
Study Design
A total of 77 dental students participated in a randomized control trial. They were divided into two groups:
- Group A: Experienced SimOL first, then a lecture.
- Group B: Experienced the lecture first, then SimOL.
Students were assessed before and after the learning sessions to measure knowledge improvement and satisfaction.
Key Findings
- Both groups showed significant improvement in knowledge after the initial learning method (P < 0.001).
- However, the second learning method (either SimOL or lecture) did not significantly improve scores further (P > 0.05).
- No significant score differences were found between the two groups (P > 0.05).
- Students had a positive view of the SimOL experience.
Conclusion
SimOL was as effective as the pre-recorded lecture for teaching dental students about oral lesions. This suggests that interactive tools like SimOL can be valuable in dental education.
