Desenvolvimento de material didático interativo como ferramenta auxiliar no ensino de Endodontia

Abstract

Contemporary society, marked by its dynamic and digital nature, requires new educational approaches. Active methodologies, which center the student as the main agent of the learning process, emerge as a response to this demand. In dental education, especially in Endodontics, a discipline involved in the control and prevention of pulp and periradicular infection, active methodologies improve the clinical learning of future dentists by stimulating practice and the development of skills. Integrating digital technologies enhances this process, offering innovative resources for dental education. In this sense, this work aimed to develop an interactive material in the e-book format of one of the stages of endodontic treatment, coronary access, to contribute as an auxiliary teaching tool for undergraduates. The project was based on the following methodology: a survey of the three most recommended pieces of literature by public dental institutions in the state of Rio de Janeiro for the formulation of e-book content, integrative review to identify gaps in the active methodologies used in the teaching of Endodontics, e-book scripting, development, and registration. The learning object was evaluated by 11 specialists linked to teaching through the Equalis (OAS) instrument sent electronically through a form built in RedCap. The unidimensional mean of 0.89 obtained through the content validity index (CVI) showed that the e-book can be an effective auxiliary tool to assist students and teachers in the teaching of Endodontics, meeting the need for innovation in pedagogical processes and being able to be used as a basis for future models.
