Diş Hekimliği Eğitiminde Beceri ve Yeterliğin Değerlendirilmesi I: Kontrol Listeleri ve Ölçekler

Diş hekimliği eğitiminin hedefi; mezunların güvenli, etkili ve bağımsız uygulamaları yapabilme seviyesine ulaşmalarına yardımcı olmaktır. Bu düzeydeki yeterlik; mezuniyet için gerekli minimum performans seviyesindeki akademik bilgi, klinik beceri ve profesyonel davranışların kazanımını gerektirir. Diş hekimliği eğitimindeki beceri kavramı; mesleki becerileri akla getirir. Bununla birlikte, diş hekimliği gibi meslekler için öğrencilerin sadece klinik olarak yetkin olmakla kalmayıp, topluma iyi hizmet verebilmek için iyi uyum becerilerine de sahip olmaları beklenir. Performans kontrol listeleri ve ölçekler öğrencilerin becerilerinin ölçülmesinde kullanılan araçlardır. Çok iyi bilindiği gibi, “değerlendirme öğrenimi yönlendirir” ve öğrenimin şeklini ve içeriğini programlar. Bu derleme çalışmasında, ölçme ve değerlendirme yöntemleri; kontrol listeleri ve ölçeklerin hazırlığı, kullanımı ve doğru ölçme aracının tercihi konusunda bilgi verilerek, diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin yeterlik ve becerilerinin ölçülmesinde kullanılan güncel uygulamalar konusunda farkındalık oluşturulmaktadır.

Assessment of Skill and Competence in Dental Education I: Control Lists and Rubrics

The goal of dental education is to facilitate the development of an individual to a level where they are capable of safe, effective and independent practice. This degree of competency comprises academic knowledge, clinical skills and professional attitudes and factors that define the minimum acceptable performance level for a dentist at the time of graduation. Skills in dental education are mainly described as professional psychomotor skills. However, students in a professional undergraduate program such as dentistry are expected to not only be clinically competent upon graduation but also to exhibit good soft skills in order to serve the society at large. Performance checklists and rubrics can help educators to define students’ skills in ways that are specific to the work context and provide a way to record how well learners demonstrate these skills and competencies. It is a general assumption that ‘assessment drives learning’ through its format, content and programming. Preparing, using and choosing the right rubric and/or checklist and also the assesment and evaluation methods are discussed in this review study to help educators to assess the competencies and the skills of their dental students.
