Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the academic effectiveness of non-face-to-face classes in deciduous tooth morphology practice. Under the course name dental morphology, a total of 60 dental students took face-to-face classes while 55 pre-dental students took non-face-to-face classes. Students were required to submit their practical assignments after 5 weeks of practical classes. To evaluate the academic effectiveness of non-face-to-face classes, practical assignments were scored by an evaluator and compared with face-to-face classes using the Mann-Whitney U test and the chi-square test. The results showed that the practical score in face-to-face classes was 77.43 ± 5.97 and the practical score in non-face-to-face classes was 76.04 ± 5.83. There was no significant difference in the academic effectiveness of face-to-face classes compared to non-face-to-face classes in deciduous tooth morphology practice (p > 0.05). This study suggests that non-face-to-face classes on introductory practice such as the dental morphology course can provide comparable quality to the education taught in traditional face-to-face classes.

이 연구는 유치 치아형태학 실습을 통해 비대면 수업의 학습 효과를 확인하고자 하였다. 유치 치아형태학이라는 과목명으로 60명의 본과 1학년 학생들은 대면으로 실습수업을 받고 55명의 예과 2학년 학생들은 비대면으로 실습수업을 받았다. 5주간의 실습수업 후 학생들은 실습 과제를 제출했다. 비대면 수업의 학습 효과를 평가하기 위해 1명의 평가자가 실습 과제를 채점했고 Mann-Whitney U 검정 및 chi-square 검정을 사용하여 대면 수업과 비교하였다. 연구 결과 대면 수업에서 실습 점수는 77.43 ± 5.97였고 비대면 수업에서 실습 점수는 76.04 ± 5.83이었다. 유치 치아형태학 실습에서 대면 수업과 비교하여 비대면 수업의 유의미한 차이는 관찰되지 않았다(p > 0.05). 이번 연구로 치아형태학 같은 비교적 실습 도구가 간단한 수업에서 비대면 수업이 대면 수업의 대안으로 사용 가능하다는 결과를 얻었다.
