Abstract

ABSTRACT

The
aim of undergraduate dental education has been described as raising the new
generation as competent graduates not only managing the patient welfare and
expectations but also improving and promoting the oral healthcare status of the
population. Faculty has the responsibility to synchronise the undergraduate
dental education with the clinical reality by combining the innovative and
conventional education methods while training the students to be able to have
life-long learning ability. The academical perfection would be defined with the
measurable and objective terms in near future. The requirements of quality
assessments might not be fulfilled without determining and implementing the
standards for education and therefore being a famous institution would no more
be enough alone. This review presents various conventional and innovative
methods of teaching and learning in order to help the faculties to decide the
best education model/s for their own conditions.

Diş Hekimliği Eğitiminde Güncelleme: Eğitim ve Öğrenim Yöntemleri

Abstract

ÖZET

Lisans
diş hekimliği eğitimindeki hedefimiz; bir sonraki jenerasyonun yalnızca hastaların
konforu sağlayan ve beklentilerini gideren mezunlar değil, toplum ihtiyaçlarına
hizmet eden ve popülasyonun ağız sağlığını iyileştiren yetkin diş hekimleri
olmalarını sağlamaktır. Mezunların yaşam boyu öğrenmeye yönlendirilmesi,
yenilikçi ve geleneksel eğitim yöntemlerinin bir arada kullanılmasıyla eğitime
klinik gerçekliğin yansıtılması fakültelerin sorumluluğundadır. Önümüzdeki
yıllarda, akademik mükemmellik ölçülebilir ve elle tutulabilir terimler ile tarif
edilecektir. Sadece ünlü bir okul olmak yetmeyecek; eğitimde standartları
belirleyip yerine getirmeden, kalite değerlendirmelerini yapmak mümkün
olmayacaktır. Fakültelerin kendi koşulları için en uygun eğitim model/lerine
karar vermelerine ışık tutması beklenerek, bu derleme çalışmasında geleneksel
ve yenilikçi birçok eğitim ve öğrenim modeli sunulmaktadır.
