THE EFFECTS OF A VIRTUAL REALITY SIMULATOR ON FORMATIVE AND SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT METHODS FOR DENTAL CLINICAL SKILLS
Abstract
Dental students’ psychomotor skills are being assessed implicitly by formative feedbacks during clinical laboratory sessions and through knowledge-based questions and practical performance measurements given in forms of summative assessments such as a Clinical Skills Examinations (CSE) and Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE). Preliminary results from the three BDS Year 1 groups showed a moderate association between some of the psychomotor skills and CSE and OSCE results (1st Cohort BDS1 2007/2008, 2nd Cohort BDS1 2008/2009 and 3rd Cohort BDS1 2009/2010).
