{"title":"Can Hobbies Shape Fine Motor Skills Development in First-Year Dental and Oral Health Students?","authors":"Sowmya Shetty, Carol Tran, Christopher Sexton","doi":"10.1111/eje.70021","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/eje.70021","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Dental students develop fine motor skills that include a complex interplay of finger dexterity, posture and progressive visual-tactile improvement through spatial awareness and cognition facilitated through university simulation training. Identifying students with a natural aptitude for these skills is vital to make the most of available resources. This study examines the relationship between pre-existing hobbies and fine motor skills before and after a five-week training module.Materials and methods: Seventy-two first-year students at an Australian University completed a questionnaire that measured their personal interests. Students' performance on a foundational cavity preparation task was assessed before and after five weeks of simulation clinic training on plastic typodont teeth. In-class assessment tasks aimed to evaluate innate and acquired skills. The relationships between personal interests and cavity preparation skills, before and after the simulation training, were explored.Results: The three hobbies with the highest mean cavity preparation percentage at baseline were playing music (51.7%; 95% CI: 41.5, 61.9), cooking (50.3%; 95% CI: 45.1, 55.5) and participating in sports (48.4%; 95% CI: 42.9, 53.8). Estimated mean improvement in cavity preparation was highest for participants that had cooking as the only hobby (19.2%; 95% CI: 14.4, 24.1). Participants with four hobbies had the lowest mean improvement in cavity preparation, with 11.3 (95% CI: 5.1, 17.5) percentage units. Participants with zero hobbies improved by 11.7 (95% CI: 7.7, 15.7) percentage units.Conclusion: Cooking at least once a week has a better impact on the mean improvement in scores after formal university simulation training than other hobbies. Students without any identified hobbies might benefit from task-specific training for fine motor skills improvement.","PeriodicalId":50488,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Dental Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144776782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is unknown how many US medical schools include OEQs in their assessment toolkits and how they are being used. The purpose of this study was to determine if OEQ assessments are an emerging trend in US medical education. We distributed an online survey to assessment leadership at all 156 US accredited allopathic medical schools between September 2022 and April 2024. Questions focused on the use or future interest of OEQs to assess medical knowledge in the pre-clerkship and clerkship curriculum. We calculated descriptive statistics for prevalence and use rates, and completed a conventional content analysis for open-ended comments. Seventy-eight US medical schools completed the survey (50% response rate). Forty schools (51%) reported using OEQs for medical knowledge assessment. OEQs were used during the pre-clerkship (28 schools), clerkship (two schools) or both parts of the curriculum (10 schools). On average, OEQs accounted for 20% of the pre-clerkship and 11% of the clerkship assessments at each school. Schools used OEQs to assess students' understanding, assess certain types of knowledge, and develop students' deeper learning. Representatives at schools not currently using OEQs reported considering using them in the future but expressed concerns about the amount of time needed to implement them. Numerous schools are using OEQs to assess medical knowledge, suggesting that this assessment format is feasible. Institutions can be innovative in their assessments by extending beyond multiple-choice questions and incorporating other question formats, such as OEQs, to fit their educational needs. This study provides a foundation for future research to explore the utility of OEQs and how to overcome the challenges of implementing OEQ assessments.","PeriodicalId":51183,"journal":{"name":"Teaching and Learning in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144769275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current study examined a potential skill-by-treatment interaction with 1,376 eighth-grade students from 13 middle schools as part of a larger evaluation study. Treatment students scored higher than control students on a measure of social studies content knowledge among students who scored 1 SD below the mean, at the mean, and 1 SD above the mean on preintervention measures of reading comprehension and reading fluency. Using social studies content knowledge, pretest reading comprehension and fluency resulted in estimates of area under the curve of .77 (95% CI = [.76, .78]) and .56 (95% CI = [.55, .57]), respectively. Both sets of pretest data identified a threshold score that approximated the 30th percentile. Thus, there appeared to be a skill-by-treatment interaction for PACT based on preintervention reading skills.","PeriodicalId":48042,"journal":{"name":"Remedial and Special Education","volume":"724 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144766124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
