Evaluation of a workplace assessment method designed to improve self-assessment in operative dentistry: a quasi-experiment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dental education has placed continued emphasis on self-regulated learning (SRL) and its subprocess, self-assessment. This study set out to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel workplace assessment method in developing trainees' self-assessment of operative procedures.

Methods

A Direct Observation of Procedural Skills (DOPS) form was modified for the use and measurement of self-assessment. Participants were trained on how to conduct self-assessment using the designed assessment form and its grading rubric. Feedback and feedforward sessions were given to address self-assessment and performance issues. A P-value less than 0.10 was considered significant and the confidence level was set at 90%.

Results

Thirty-two Year 5 dental students with an age mean of 22.4
