Abstract

Mobile learning or m-learning is a model that utilizes mobile device such ascell pones, tablets and personal computers. Through this model, many universities in other countries are teaching various technical subjects. Objetives. To evaluate the learning of preclinical students in a preparing for inlay techique learned through a tradicional class versus the observation of a video only. Materials and Methods. Quasi experimental observational study in wich fifth semester dental studentes were divided into three groups: in person class plus video, and video only. They were provided with instruction on how to perform an inlay preparation and their performance was evaluated through teacher grading and the use of CAD CAM. The students also complete a survey to assess their perception of the teaching and evaluation method used. Resuls. It was demostrated that the person class plus video group obtained the highest frequency of top grades both from the teacher abd the CAD CAM. The video only group achieved decent grades, not far behind the other gropus. Regarding affective effectiveness, the mayority of studentes indicated satisfaction with the grade assigned by the CAD CAM, even if it was low. Conclusion. The study found that mobile learning and CAD CAM can be effective pedagogical tolos for learning the technique of inlay preparation. These tolos offer flexibility, feedback and accuracy in evaluation students´practical work.
