Factors influencing the agreement between teachers and students in the assessment of preclinical endodontics using a rubric.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Students' self-assessment and rubrics are pedagogical tools designed to enhance learning and evaluation processes. Achieving convergence between learners and teachers is paramount during the learning of complex treatments such as endodontic procedures, although it can be challenging due to uncontrollable factors that may affect task performance and perception. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of various factors (anatomical difficulty, type of instrumentation system, and training level) on the assessments of root canal treatments (RCT) by teachers and students using a rubric, and to determine the degree of agreement between them.

Methods

144 RCT were performed on extracted human molars by 36 dental students using two mechanized systems and subsequently ev
