Students assessment of the prosthodontics theoretical teaching
Introduction: Student evaluation of teaching is an effective tool for evaluating the quality of teaching. This study aimed to analyze the evaluation of the theoretical prosthodontics teaching by students in dentistry.
Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive and cross-sectional study carried out with 103 students in Master 1 and Master 2 of dental surgery. The variables observed included student supervision, lecturing and evaluation of theoretical prosthodontics learning. The Likert scale graduated from 1 to 5 allowed a quantitative assessment. The SPSS® software version 17.0 was used for statistical analysis. The comparison of averages used the Student t-test. The risk of error has been set at 5%.
Results: The majority of students (65.1%) felt that the number of teachers was insufficient. The objectives of theoretical teaching were clearly defined for 59.2% of the sample. Concerning the certification evaluation, 66% of them disagreed with the final single formula.
Conclusion: Despite its validity and relevance, student evaluation of theoretical teaching has weaknesses that should be controlled in order to improve student training.
