Abstracts

The American Dental Association Commission on Dental Accreditation requires dental hygiene program faculty members show evidence of calibration for clinical teaching. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effectiveness of online instructional videos on faculty calibration. A sample of convenience of fifteen faculty members from a baccalaureate dental hygiene program were randomly assigned to an AB or BA sequence for calibration on two different instruments. The Kirkpatrick Model levels one through four provided the framework for this investigation. Data were measured via pretests, posttests, retention tests, and Reaction and Impact questionnaires. The online calibration activities yielded significantly higher post-test scores than in-person activities. The online calibration activities increased their feelings of confidence to evaluate student performance. Online and in-person participants were in equal agreement that the calibration activities increased feelings of preparedness to teach. More research is needed to investigate the effectiveness of additional online calibration methods.
