ABSTRACT
Background: education at work is the essential organizational form of teaching in medical sciences.Objective: to design methodological actions for the improvement of education at work in the subject Clinical Operative Dentistry.
Methods: a descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the Faculty of Dentistry of the Medical University in Villa Clara, from February to May 2013. Theoretical methods such as analysis-synthesis and induction-deduction were used; as well as empirical methods such as documentary analysis and a survey. A nominal group was also formed, and an observation guide was used for education at work activities.
Results: in the syllabus of the subject Clinical Operative Dentistry, little time is devoted for skill development; the results of practical test show difficulties in the students, which is reflected in the report of the teaching staff of the faculty. Teachers said there is insufficient time devoted to the content and point to the large number of students in the educational scenarios. Most students claim to be insecure about handling the patients, and the instruments; and sometimes they are afraid of that first contact, for not being sufficiently trained in the skills required by the subject.
Conclusions: learning needs for the development of education at work were identified by teachers, which causes difficulties in the acquisition of practical skills by students. Methodological actions were assessed by expert judgment, who considered them to be innovative, relevant, necessary, feasible and accessible.
