본 연구는 예비치과 전문인력의 도덕성 발달수준을 파악하고 윤리교육을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 2010년 10월 전라북도 익산시에 위치한 2개 교육기관에 재학 중인 450명을 대상으로 간편형 도덕 판단력 검사지(DIT)를 사용하여 자료를 수집하였고, 수집된 자료는 SPSS/PC를 사용하여 기술통계, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient로 분석되었고, 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 치과대학생의 P(%)점수는 43.10이었고, 치위생과학생의 P(%)점수는 41.21로 나타났으나 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지는 않았다(p=0.190). 2. 예비치과 전문인력의 도덕성 발달 단계별 점수는 5A단계가 가장 높았으며 다음은 3, 4, 6, 5B, 2단계의 순으로 나타났다. 5B단계(p=0.014)와 6단계(p=0.010)에서는 집단간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 3. 예비치과 전문인력의 인구학적 특성에 따른 도덕성 발달 단계별 점수는 치과대학생의 경우 인구학적 특성 중 성별에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타내었다(6단계, p=0.003). 치위생과학생의 경우 종교(5B단계, p=0.044), 출생 순위(2단계, p=0.027), 성장지역(4단계, p=0.015)에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 4. P(%)점수와 각 도덕성 발달 단계간의 상관관계는 2, 3, 4, 5B단계와는 역상관관계가 있었고, 5A, 6단계와는 순상관관계가 있었다. 결론적으로 일반 대학생에 비해 낮은 예비치과 전문인력의 도덕성 발달수준을 사회에서 요구하고 있는 치과 전문인력의 도덕성 발달수준으로 향상시키기 위해서는 치과계 현실에 맞는 윤리교육과정이 마련되어 체계적인 윤리교육이 이루어져야 한다고 사료된다.

This study is a theoretical exploration of project-based service-learning and its application in designing pre-dental curricula. As a response to the limitation of community service courses, service-learning has been implemented as pedagogy in higher education practices. Service-learning connects service and learning by engaging students in activities that address community needs with intentionally designed learning opportunities while adding value to and transforming both service and learning. Project-based service-learning is an extended and more active version of service-learning. Whereas service activities are arranged by instructors in the original service-learning, project-based service-learning provides students with opportunities for exploring problems and root causes on site and then devising and implementing solutions of their own using their talents and creativity. This study proposes a theoretical approach to project-based service-learning and suggests six design components, namely, related curriculum, reflection, reciprocity, service and community engagement, evaluation and recognition, and creative problem solving. Based on the components, 20 design strategies are formulated. The exploration is aimed to provide design guides for professionals attempting to implement project-based service-learning in higher education.

Introduction: To curb the ever growing menace of tobacco and its ill effects, it is essential to prevent its usage. Dental professionals' contributions can be invaluable in this venture. Objectives: To assess Indian dental graduates' knowledge, attitude and practices towards tobacco cessation; perceived effectiveness in pursuing tobacco cessation activities; perception of factors that interfere in tobacco cessation as barriers; and willingness to participate in tobacco cessation. Further, to determine associations among the aforementioned variables. Methodology: All house surgeons in Manipal College of Dental Sciences, Manipal University, Mangalore were included in the study. A structured, pre-tested and self-administered questionnaire was employed to assess participants' knowledge, attitude, behavior, perceived effectiveness, perceived barriers and willingness to participate in tobacco cessation. Information regarding respondents' age, gender and residence was collected. Results: A total of 100 out of 103 respondents participated in the study. Mean knowledge, attitude, behavior, perceived effectiveness, perceived barrier scores were $17.6{\pm}2.53$ (73.2%), $72.1{\pm}6.59$ (90.2%), $28.3{\pm}5.12$ (67.4%), $13.3{\pm}5.36$ (53.16%) and $35.0{\pm}3.79$ (89.8%) respectively. Overall, 97% respondents were willing to participate in tobacco cessation activities. Correlation analysis revealed that knowledge was associated with attitude (r=0.36, p=0.00) and perceived barriers (r=0.34, p=0.00) and behavior was associated with perceived barriers (r=0.22, p=0.03). Conclusions: Respondents reported high knowledge and attitude scores, along with high perceived barriers scores and willingness to participate in tobacco cessation activities. Present study highlights the need for a more meaningful involvement of dental professionals in tobacco cessation and has policy implications for curriculum changes regarding the same.
