Abstract

(1) Background: In this qualitative study, we investigated the implementation of an art-based observation workshop as a tool to improve visualization and interpretation skills in a cohort of first-year dental students (N = 109) in a dental anatomy course. (2) Methods: The art workshop was held once for a total of 60 min in the pre-clinical simulation laboratory, which is the regular teaching setting for the dental anatomy course. Visualization and interpretation skills were assessed before (pre-test) and after the art-based observation workshop (post-test). The pre- and post-tests contained five images that guided students to describe dental anatomy images. The pre- and post-test had different but similar images. Dental students accessed the pre- and post-tests on CANVAS and recorded their answers. After that, the audio recording files were analyzed and compared to determine the frequency of use of dental anatomy-specific nomenclature while answering the pre- and post-test. (3) Results: Our results demonstrate that students used dental anatomy-specific nomenclature more frequently after the intervention. (4) Conclusions: we have concluded that students’ use of dental anatomy nomenclature in the first-year dental anatomy curriculum is enhanced following an art-based intervention in a regular dental simulation laboratory.

在一年级口腔解剖学课程中利用美术提高视觉化和描述技能：定性研究

(1）背景：在这项定性研究中，我们调查了以艺术为基础的观察工作坊的实施情况，该工作坊是在口腔解剖学课程中提高口腔医学一年级学生（109人）的视觉化和解释技能的一种工具。(2）方法：艺术工作坊在临床前模拟实验室举行一次，共 60 分钟，该实验室是牙科解剖课程的常规教学场所。在以艺术为基础的观察工作坊之前（前测）和之后（后测），对视觉和解释技能进行了评估。前测和后测包含五张图片，引导学生描述牙科解剖图片。前测和后测的图像不同但相似。牙科学生在 CANVAS 上进行前测和后测，并记录他们的答案。之后，对录音文件进行分析和比较，以确定学生在回答前测和后测时使用牙科解剖专用术语的频率。(3) 结果：我们的结果表明，干预后学生使用口腔解剖学专用术语的频率提高了。(4）结论：我们得出结论，在常规口腔模拟实验室中进行基于艺术的干预后，学生在一年级口腔解剖学课程中对口腔解剖学术语的使用得到了提高。
