The purpose of this study was to evaluate the learning outcomes and practicality of interactive simulation modules developed for a computerized learning system in dental hygiene education. Methods: Twenty-nine Japanese fourth-year dental hygiene undergraduates were given access to five interactive modules, delivered via a learning management system (LMS), for one month. The modules provided virtual clinical settings to take learners through decision-making processes for explaining procedures and treatments, and making appointments in English. Pre- and post-tests and a questionnaire were used to evaluate the knowledge gained and to receive learner's feedback. Participants were classified into two groups (study group and non-study group), based on their use/non-use of modules made available during the five-week period for statistical analysis. Results: Post-test scores were significantly higher in the study group (n = 22) than in the non-study group (n = 6), (p = 0.024). Post-test scores were also significantly higher than the pre-test scores in the study group (p = 0.001). No significant differences in the post- versus pre-test scores were found in the non-study group. The questionnaire response rate of 100% (n = 29) indicated that participants considered the interactive modules, including the system operation, as convenient and beneficial. Conclusion: Modules made available via a LMS for self-study were beneficial for Japanese undergraduate dental hygiene students in the acquisition of knowledge and skills for clinical decision-making in English. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: pictorial research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
