The subjects of the study were 366 students in the lower grades of elementary school, and the research tools used self-written questionnaires that were modified and supplemented to suit this purpose. Parenting attitudes of parents and lower-grade oral health behavior of elementary school students showed significant amounts of correlation, especially affectionate, autonomous and reasonable parenting attitudes were highly correlated with oral health behaviors(p<0.01). A multiple regression analysis to identify the factors affecting oral health behavior showed that parental attitudes also had a significant effect on the child variables(p<0.01). Therefore, since parenting attitudes are related to children's oral health behaviors, it is believed that measures should be taken to promote oral health education that can be improved by combining them.

This study is a convergence study attempted to understand the learning effects of oral health education class applying action learning on the communication ability and problem-solving ability in dental hygiene students. The subjects of this study were 37 students in the third year of dental hygiene department. As a result, the learning effects of oral health education class applying action learning on the communication ability(p<0.001) and problem-solving ability(p<0.001) showed positive changes in the pre and post comparison. The changes in the scores of sub-dimensions of the communication ability and problem-solving ability were also significant in the pre and post comparison. As the class applying action learning is effective in improving the learner's communication ability and problem-solving ability, it should be utilized as the leaner participation-oriented teaching method for design and operation of dental hygiene education.
