Description

The article concludes that, despite its limitations, the hybrid sim-lab teaching-practicing module "could serve as an appropriate and accessible supplemental method for teaching practical dental skills", presenting "a viable alternative to traditional classroom-based dental education". This is grounded in the high student acceptance and positive perceptions of online demonstrations, communication and remote guidance reported in the survey.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

• Teachers must possess excellent communication, organisational and technological skills
• Robust network infrastructure to ensure seamless connectivity

Constraints

• The study is constrained by its non-experimental design without a control group
• The module was only tested in a single course

Target Learners

• second-year dental students

Learning Goals

• practical dental skills such as ultrasonic supragingival scaling

Claims

• High Acceptance Hybrid Sim Lab Course [+M]
• Satisfaction Content Correlates Skill Improvement [+M]
