Assessing Student Products to Determine their Clinical Performance Process Skills: a Mixed Method Approach

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference paperpeer-review

Abstract

The assessment procedures developed over 10 years of trials with over 1200 undergraduate students using virtual haptic simulators in HE disciplines have been recorded and compared. In 2016 (N=124) and 2017 (N=121) these procedures have evolved to include a range of methods to assess the performance progression of students' learning cavity preparation skills. Students' performances were retrieved from: (1) excavated plastic teeth; (2) hapTEL log-files for each task; e.g. percentage of caries, healthy tissue and pulp removed: (3) tutors' observations. Records of students' performance collected over two years included: scores of their cavity preparations; Micro-CT Scans and tutor assessments. The results show that assessment of the final product can also reveal the procedural steps of the individual students.
