Description

The PUC-FC model is an advanced flipped-classroom paradigm in which senior postgraduates act as near-peer mentors across all course phases. Its "core concept is to use the clinical experience of senior postgraduates as scaffolding and digital technology as a lever" to address teacher shortage and delayed skill feedback. It constructs a "trinity educational ecology of 'knowledge transmission-skill training-experience inheritance'" through pre-class guidance, in-class one-on-one support and case debates, and post-class feedback reports within 48 hours.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

• Senior postgraduates with at least two years of clinical and academic experience, trained via a standardized mentoring protocol clarifying responsibilities, feedback standards, and intervention boundaries

Constraints

• The article notes total instructional exposure may confound results because the PUC-FC group received additional contact time through weekly online meetings and individualized mentoring

Target Learners

• undergraduate stomatology students

Learning Goals

• clinical operational competence
• case analysis and clinical reasoning
• learning satisfaction

Claims

• Puc Fc Skill Exam Advantage [+M]
• Puc Fc Case Analysis Advantage [+M]
• Puc Fc Satisfaction Advantage [+M]
