Abstract:
Objective To explore the application of flipped classroom model in experiment teaching of preventive dentistry.
Methods Sixty students of undergraduate medical students from Guanghua school of Stomatology, Sun Yat-sen University were selected. The teaching content was the plaque control. Test group was flipped classroom. Control group was traditional teaching classroom. Videos and learning files were given to test group in advance. Half of classroom time was used to discuss and solve the problem of students in test group. No files were given to control group in advance. Half of classroom time was used to teaching and learning. Both groups were asked to brush teeth.
Results The percentage of students think the knowledge point is clear is higher in test group than control group (93.3% vs. 70.0%, χ2 = 5.455, P = 0.012) , the classroom schedule is reasonable (96.7% vs. 66.7%, χ2 = 9.017, P = 0.003) , experimental technology is easy to grasp (93.3% vs. 73.3%, χ2 = 4.320, P = 0.038) , plenty of time to do experiment (96.7% vs. 63.3%, χ2 = 10.420, P = 0.001) . The average scores of Turesky plaque index was lower (2.0 ± 0.3) in test group than control group (2.4 ± 0.5) (t = -2.8, P = 0.022) . The technical ability of plaque control was handled better in test group.
Conclusions Flipped classroom improves the effect of experiment teaching of preventive dentistry. The application of flipped classroom is suitable in preventive dentistry.
