Abstract <\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

Introduction:<\/span><\/b> Team-based learning (TBL) pedagogy is a structured, flipped classroom approach to promote active learning. In April 2019, we designed a TBL workshop to introduce the New Classification of Periodontal Diseases 2017 to a group of general dental practitioners (GDPs). <\/span>We aimed to investigate GDPs feedback on learning this new classification using TBL pedagogy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Methods:<\/span><\/b> <\/span>Two articles related to the 2017 classification were sent to 22 GDPs 2 weeks prior to a 3-hour workshop. During the face-to-face session, they were randomly assigned to five groups. They participated in individual and group readiness assurance tests. Subsequently, the GDPs had inter- and intragroup facilitated discussions on three simulated clinical cases. They then provided feedback using a pen-to-paper survey. Based on a 5-point Likert scale (1-strongly disagree to 5-strongly agree), they indicated their level of agreement on items related to the workshop and their learning experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Results:<\/span><\/b> Majority (94.7%, <\/span>18 out of 19 GDPs<\/span>) agreed the session improved their understanding of the new classification and they preferred this TBL pedagogy compared to a conventional lecture. <\/span>All learners agreed they can apply the knowledge to their work and there was a high degree of participation and involvement during the session. <\/span>They found the group discussion and the simulated clinical cases useful.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Conclusion:<\/span><\/b> <\/span>A TBL workshop is suitable for clinical teaching of the New Classification of Periodontal Diseases 2017 for GDPs. Its structure promotes interaction among learners with the opportunity to provide feedback and reflection during the group discussions. This model might be a good pedagogy for continuing dental education.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span>I. INTRODUCTION<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

T<\/span>eam-based learning (TBL) is a flipped classroom, structured learning pedagogy that was introduced by Larry Michaelsen and has gained popularity among healthcare educators recently. TBL is learner-centric and dialectic based, and practices logical discussion used for determining the truth of a theory or opinion (Michaelsen et al., 2008). It provides the opportunity for peer-teaching by group members and can assist weaker students in understanding course materials.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Several dental educators have utilised TBL in undergraduate dentistry programmes and observed higher engagement among learners, less student contact time and faculty time, and higher course grades (Haj-Ali & Al Quran, 2013). General dental practitioners (GDPs), unlike undergraduate dental students, juggle between busy dental practice and family life. Hence, GDPs might seek active learning with direct knowledge application to manage their continuing dental education needs efficiently. The World Workshop of Periodontology recently revamped the diagnosis of periodontal diseases and proposed a new classification of staging (Stage I-IV; based on severity of disease) and grading (Grade A-C; based on disease progression) for periodontitis (Tonetti et al., 2018). We aimed to investigate GDP feedback on learning this new classification using TBL pedagogy. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span>II. METHODS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

This is a descriptive study on GDPs\u2019 feedback on learning the New Classification of Periodontal Diseases 2017 using a TBL approach. <\/span>22 GDPs attended the TBL workshop in April 2019.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Two articles related to the new classification were sent to the GDPs 2 weeks prior to the 3-hour workshop. Five multiple-choice questions were crafted from the two articles (Individual Readiness Assurance Test, IRAT) to assess learners\u2019 basic understanding of the new classification. Learners were divided into five groups to discuss IRAT and provide answers using the immediate feedback assessment technique card (Group Readiness Assurance Test, GRAT). Faculty then highlighted key elements of the new classification. Three clinical periodontal cases crafted based on the 4S framework principles i.e. same problem, significant problem, specific choice, and simultaneous reporting, were used in the application process (Michaelsen et al., 2008). The key question was to diagnose the periodontal condition based on the staging and grading criteria. Lastly, learners provided implied consent by answering an anonymous pen-to-paper survey voluntarily. They answered based on their level of agreement on a 5-point Likert scale (5 indicating strongly agree, 1 indicating strongly disagree). The survey comprising 13 education-related statements: two statements related to programme content, two to presentation, six to learning experience, and three about the workshop. Three qualitative questions in the survey were: \u201cWhat do you like most about the workshop?\u201d, \u201cWhat aspects of the session could be improved?\u201d and \u201cOther comments and feedback\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span>III. RESULTS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Nineteen out of the 22 GDPs who attended the TBL workshop responded to the survey (response rate 86.4%). Results are summarised in Figure 1. We conducted a reliability analysis on the perceived task values scale comprising two subscales (learning experience and workshop) with at least three items.<\/p>\r\n

Figure 1. Learners\u2019 feedback about the workshop<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/i>A. Content (Two items)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n

During the workshop, we highlighted the staging and grading criteria for the new classification. Learners provided a mean score of 4.74 (standard deviation, SD, 0.446; median 5) in two statements related to content. In general, 68.4% of them strongly agreed and 31.6% agreed the objective of the workshop was clearly defined. There were 78.9% and 21.1% of learners who strongly agreed and agreed respectively that the sharing and discussion during the workshop was useful to their clinical work.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/i>B. Presentation (Two items)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n

Learners gave a mean score of 4.76 for presentation (SD 0.431; median 5). There were 73.7% learners who strongly agreed and 26.3% who agreed that the presentation was well-organised. In addition, 78.9% and 21.1% of the learners strongly agreed and agreed respectively that the presenter presented relevant information professionally. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/i>C. Learning Experience (Six items)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n

Cronbach\u2019s alpha for the learning experience subscale reached <\/span>acceptable reliability at<\/span> <\/span>\u03b1 =<\/span> 0.81. The mean score for learning experience was 4.70 (SD 0.531; median 5). There were 68.4% learners who strongly agreed and 26.3% who agreed that they prefer TBL pedagogy to a conventional lecture. Also, 68.7% of the learners strongly agreed and 31.3% agreed they could apply the knowledge directly to their work. All learners agreed that there was a high degree of participation and involvement during the session. 18 learners (94.7%) agreed that the session met their expectations and improved their understanding about the topic. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

D. Workshop (Three items)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n

The mean score for learners\u2019 feedback on the workshop was 4.71 (SD 0.533; median 5). 18 learners (94.7%) agreed that the workshop was well organised with an adequate ratio of instructor to participants (2:22). There were 73.7% learners who strongly agreed and 26.3% who agreed that resources and equipment provided were adequate. Cronbach\u2019s alpha for the workshop subscale reached <\/span>acceptable reliability<\/span> at <\/span>\u03b1 =<\/span> 0.75. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span><\/i>E. Qualitative Feedback <\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n

The learners cited the following themes as their favourite component of the workshop: \u201cgroup interaction and discussion\u201d (4), \u201cclinical case discussion\u201d (3), \u201cuseful and relevant clinical cases\u201d (1), \u201cinteresting readiness assurance test\u201d (1), and \u201cpre-reading material\u201d (1). They also cited \u201cactive learning\u201d (1), \u201ccorrect wrong understanding\u201d (1), \u201cdiscussion improves my understanding\u201d (1), and \u201cgreat information and lecturer\u201d (1) as positive learning experiences. Three different learners provided feedback of \u201cbest workshop ever attended\u201d, \u201cwell done\u201d, and \u201cvery good\u201d respectively. One learner commented that the air-conditioning in the room was cold. One learner commented on small font size in dental charting and another learner suggested \u201cless tests at the start\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span>IV. DISCUSSION<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

The flipped classroom concept in TBL was suitable for GDPs to study the pre-reading articles at their own pace. The structured workshop enabled them to correct any misconception immediately and deepen their understanding about the new classification. This observation concurs with the finding that all GDPs agreed they could apply the knowledge to their work and preferred this pedagogy over a traditional lecture. This active learning process differs from a conventional didactic lecture, which is faculty-centric with less feedback and interaction. Hence, this pedagogy can be applied for some continuing dental education programmes by improving the delivery and application of new concepts. The 4S framework in the application cases are key elements to promote productive and logical discussion similar to a debate facilitated by faculty. The problem-solving aspect of TBL, along with the scaffolding and guidance by faculty, can enhance the metacognition process among learners (Hrynchak & Batty, 2012). Almost all learners agreed there was an adequate ratio of faculty to participants, emphasising the benefit of using TBL workshops to teach a large group of learners with less faculty. However, faculty needs to work more in planning and preparing the teaching materials, executing, and facilitating the session following the TBL structure and process. In addition, hurdles in conducting TBL include acceptance from faculty and learners, difficulty in supervising a large group, the customisation of the course content, and adequate training and expertise to conduct TBL effectively.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The learners also cited \u201cgroup interaction and discussion\u201d as their favourite component of the workshop. The learning theory underpinning TBL is the constructivist learning theory where the faculty exposes knowledge inconsistency during group discussion, subsequently allowing a new mental framework to be built upon the new understanding (Hrynchak & Batty, 2012). TBL is useful in healthcare education since it can promote good critical thinking and teamwork. In addition, the intra- and intergroup formal discussion provides the opportunity to reflect, give feedback, and enable peer-teaching. Self-reflection enables learners to make a judgement when modifying their existing knowledge. Peer-to-peer teaching in TBL enhances learning and aids weaker learners to understand the course material (Park et al., 2014).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Some limitations of our study were that the sample size was small, reporting participants\u2019 self-perception on how they felt after attending the workshop and the lack of longitudinal follow-up on retention of knowledge. In addition, we did not have a separate didactic lecture on the new classification as a control group to truly compare the two different modes of teaching. Future recommendation includes having two groups of GDPs to collate their perceptions as well as include a pre and post assessment to investigate the difference in improvement and in knowledge retention comparing TBL workshop and traditional didactic lecture, and include peer evaluation in TBL to increase accountability among learners. Besides, ethnographic research method can be explored to provide insight to researchers to understand the essence of how dental professionals learn during TBL. It would be meaningful to follow up this group of GDPs to assess the accuracy of their periodontal diagnoses based on the new classification to investigate the effectiveness of the TBL workshop. Of note, TBL workshops can be adapted into an online format; this is particularly useful during the current COVID-19 pandemic to engage learners and promote active learning in an online setting. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/span>V. CONCLUSION<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

In conclusion, TBL pedagogy may be another mode of teaching for GDPs in continuing dental education where participants are actively engaged, and direct application of knowledge gained can be made. During this pandemic, where face-to-face sessions are minimised, educators can consider adopting TBL pedagogy on an online platform to improve learning experience and engagement of their learners.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n
