The goal of dental education is to facilitate the development of an individual to a level where they are capable of safe, effective and independent practice. This degree of competency comprises academic knowledge, clinical skills and professional attitudes and factors that define the minimum acceptable performance level for a dentist at the time of graduation. Skills in dental education are mainly described as professional psychomotor skills. However, students in a professional undergraduate program such as dentistry are expected to not only be clinically competent upon graduation but also to exhibit good soft skills in order to serve the society at large. Performance checklists and rubrics can help educators to define students’ skills in ways that are specific to the work context and provide a way to record how well learners demonstrate these skills and competencies. It is a general assumption that ‘assessment drives learning’ through its format, content and programming. Preparing, using and choosing the right rubric and/or checklist and also the assesment and evaluation methods are discussed in this review study to help educators to assess the competencies and the skills of their dental students. |
