Impact Of Audiovisual Resources On The Learning Of Dental Students
Objectives: COVID-19 has caused a change in the modality of education. Universities continue to teach through teleeducation, making use of Information and Communication Technologies. It is necessary to evaluate whether virtual education guarantees the quality demanded by students. The objective of this study was to evaluate the technical quality and value the impact on the learning process of audiovisual material generated by student assistants, in support of the training units of third-year dentistry students at the University of Chile.
Methods: A survey was applied to 88 students. The technical scope of the audiovisual material (short video) was evaluated using a numerical scale from 1 to 4 (1: Needs improvement, 2: Regular, 3: Good, 4: Very good), and considered sound quality, spoken expression and image , legibility of texts, grammar and spelling, and order, logic and clarity of the information. To assess the impact on learning, single and multiple-choice questions were applied regarding the benefits of the information, usefulness in evaluations, continuity of application of the methodology, and a non-failing test was carried out on the content of the video.
Results: The aspects of technical quality were mainly evaluated with a numerical rating of 4. 30% consider that the readability of the texts and image quality can be improved, 94% that the material based on examples facilitates the understanding of the content delivered in classes, 100% useful for study of subsequent evaluations, 96% agree to continue with the implementation of the methodology. The mean of the test was 5 points out of a total of 6.
Conclusions: It is necessary to make improvements in the aspects of less technical evaluation to adapt the material to the needs of the students. Short videos in which the information delivered in classes is applied to clinical situations, have a positive impact on the learning process of dental students.
