Educational support system for clinical training in dentistry using the Ubiquitous computing

本研究的目的是利用普适计算技术开发一种新的口腔临床培训教育支持系统，使其能够在现场获取必要的信息。在治疗前，学生可以通过将贴在手持阅读器上的物品贴近RFID标签，重新确认临床程序和椅子侧器械或材料的使用情况，然后以此信息为参考进行治疗。治疗后，学生输入信息的有效性、治疗过程中面临的临床问题以及必要的附加信息。讲师估计了一名学生的输入信息，并添加了修改后的信息，以反映对其他学生的临床培训。这种使用普适计算的教育支持系统可能会有效地用于临床培训，并减轻教师的负担。

The purpose of this study was to develop a new educational support system for clinical training in dentistry using the Ubiquitous computing which could gain necessary information on site. Before treatment, students could reconfirm clinical procedures and usage of instruments or materials on chair-side by getting close the items attached RFID tag to the handheld reader, and then they treated with this information as reference. After treatment students keyed in effectiveness of information, clinical questions faced during treatment, and necessary additional information. The instructor estimated input information from a student and added modified information to reflect on clinical training for other students. This educational support system using the Ubiquitous computing may be effective for clinical training and reduce instructor's burden.
