Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to verify the effect on students' competency and self-directed capacity after a capstone design teaching method with community dental hygiene class. Methods: The study participants were 34 dental hygiene students taking a 4-year community dental hygiene course at a university located in City C. The research tool consisted of 52 questions on major competency and 20 questions on self-directed capacity. Results: After the capstone design class, overall dental hygienists' competency increased (p<0.05), and competencies of clinical dental hygiene and community health promotion showed a high increase (p<0.001). As a result of analyzing the increase in dental hygienists' competency according to self-directed learning ability, the group with low self-directed capacity showed high improvement in clinical dental hygiene competency and community oral health promotion competency. Conclusions: This study confirmed that the capstone design course in community dental hygiene improved students' competency and self-directed capacity, and suggests that it is an excellent teaching method for training competencies required for future society.

연구목적: 본 연구는 캡스톤 디자인 설계 지역사회 치위생학 수업 후 학생들의 역량과 자기주도력 증가에 미치는 효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 연구방법: 연구 참여자는 C시에 소재한 4년제 대학에서 지역사회 치위생학 수업을 이수한는 치위생 전공 34명이었다. 설문도구는 치과위생사 역량 52문항과 자기주도력 20문항으로 구성되었다. 연구결과: 캡스톤 디자인 수업 후 전반적인 치과위생사의 역량이 증가하였고(p<0.05), 임상치위생 및 지역사회 건강증진 역량도 높은 증가를 보였다(p<0.001). 자기주도력에 따른 치과위생사의 역량 증가를 분석한 결과, 자기주도력이 낮은 집단일수록 임상 치위생 역량과 지역사회 건강증진 역량이 높은 향상을 보였다. 결론: 본 연구를 통해 캡스톤 디자인 설계지역사회 치위생학 수업이 학생들의 치과위생사 역량과 자기주도력을 향상시켰음을 확인하였고, 캡스톤 디자인 수업법은 미래사회에서 요구되는 역량을 배양하는데 탁월한 교수법임을 시사하였다.
