Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate learners' satisfaction with operating Problem-Based Learning (PBL), competency level for dental hygiene, and learners' opinions through a reflection journal by developing a PBL class module and applying it to clinical dental hygiene classes. Methods: The subjects of the study were 31 students in the Clinical Dental Hygiene (oral health management for special patients) course in the second semester of the fourth grade. This study was conducted over the first semester from September to December 2020. The developed PBL learning module was applied for the 15 weeks class, and after all PBL classes were over, the overall satisfaction with the class and the change in student competency level was evaluated. Results: The overall satisfaction of learners with PBL was high, and the level of self-competence also increased compared to before class. In addition, the top three topics (Competencies learned through PBL, humanistic and sociological elements learned through PBL, and obstacles in the PBL) were derived through the reflection journal after PBL learning activities. Conclusions: It was confirmed that the PBL learning module developed in this study is a class that enables students to identify problems and solve them integrally and drives the improvement of humanities and sociological competencies.

연구목적: 본 연구의 목적은 문제중심학습(Problem-Based Learning) 수업 모듈을 개발하여 임상치위생학 수업에 적용함으로써 문제중심학습을 운영하는 것에 대한 학습자의 만족도와 치위생학의 역량 수준, 성찰일지를 통한 학습자 의견을 평가하는 것이다. 연구방법: 본 연구는 2020년 2학기에 수행되었고, 연구대상은 4학년 2학기 과정의 임상치위생학(특수환자구강건강관리) 교과목 수강생 31명이었다. 개발된 PBL 학습모듈을 15주간 수업에 적용하였고, 모든 PBL 수업이 종료된 후 수업에 대한 전반적인 만족도, 학생 역량 수준의 변화를 평가하였다. 연구결과: PBL 수업에 대한 학습자의 만족도는 전반적으로 높았고, 자가역량 수준도 수업 전에 비하여 증가하였다. 더불어, PBL 학습활동 후 성찰일지를 통해 상위주제 3개는 PBL 학습을 통해 얻은 역량, PBL 학습을 통해 배운 인문사회학적 요소, PBL 학습에서의 장애 요인이 도출되었다. 결론: 본 연구에서 개발된 PBL 학습모듈은 학생들이 문제를 파악하여 통합적으로 해결할 수 있는 역량뿐만 아니라 인문사회학적 역량 제고를 견인할 수 있는 수업이라는 것을 확인하였다.
