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牙科临床培训教育支持系统，以获取现场所需的信息。在治疗前，学生可以通过靠近手持读取器上贴有RFID标签的物品，重新确认椅子边的临床程序和仪器或材料的使用情况，然后以此信息作为参考进行治疗。在治疗后，学生们输入了信息的有效性、治疗过程中面临的临床问题和必要的附加信息。讲师估计了一个学生的输入信息，并添加了修改后的信息，以反映其他学生的临床训练。这种基于普适计算的教学支持系统可以有效地为临床培训提供支持，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.
