q2 i? Male students were more likely to express confidence in using the VR system independently, requiring less technical support than their female counterparts. → Baxmann Martin 2024

Evidence¶

Baxmann Martin 2024¶

Baxmann Martin, Baráth Zoltán, Kárpáti Krisztina. (2024). Efficacy of typodont and simulation training in orthodontic education: a systematic review. BMC Medical Education. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12909-024-06425-8

q2 · i? · review · r3

The review attributes this gender difference to Huang et al. (2022), a survey-based study of 82 students using VR for orthodontic bracket bonding. The review reports both male and female students demonstrated short-term skill acquisition benefits.

"male students were more likely to express confidence in using the VR system independently, often requiring less technical support and demonstrating greater comfort with repeated use of the simulation platform"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Gender — predictor: outcomes differ by group: a gap reflecting circumstances and treatment, not a cause
