Internal assessment (Formative evaluation)

University examination (Summative evaluation) for assessment of learning outcome at the end of the course for award of degree.

A) INTERNAL ASSESSMENT Is essential for monitoring learning progress through continuous appraisal and regular assessment. It also helps teachers to evaluate students, students to evaluate themselves, helps rationalize performance in the examination and to differentiate between candidates of otherwise equal performance in the examination. Formal evaluation is done by the staff of the department based on participation of the students in various teaching/learning activities. Evaluation is structured on the basis of checklists that evaluate these various aspects. Examples of such checklists are given in Annexure I to serve as a guide for the assessment. The learning outcomes to be assessed should include: (i) Personal Attitudes (ii) Acquisition Of Knowledge (iii) Clinical And Operative Skills (iv) Teaching Skills (v) Dissertation. 15

PG Curriculum. RGUHS

(i) Personal Attitudes: The essential items are  Caring attitudes  Initiative  Organizational ability  Potential to cope with stressful situations and undertake responsibility  Trustworthiness and reliability  To understand and communicate intelligibly with patients and others.  To behave in a manner which establishes professional relationships with patients and colleagues.  Ability to work 'in a team  A critical enquiring approach to the acquisition of knowledge. (ii) Acquisition of knowledge : the methods comprise of "log book" which records participation in various teaching / learning activities by the students. The number of activities attended and the number in which presentations are made are to be recorded. The logbook should periodically be validated by the supervisors.

Some of the

activities to be listed include:joumal clubs, seminars/ s),mposia/ clinico-pathological conferences. (iii) Clinical and operative skills: Day-to-day work: Skills in clinical programme should be assessed periodically. The assessment should include the candidate's sincerity and punctuality, analytical ability and communication skills. Clinical meetings: Candidates should periodically present cases to his peers and faculty members. Operative skills: The candidate should be given graded responsibility to enable learning by observation.

The performance is assessed by the guide by direct

observation. Particulars are recorded in the student logbook. 16

(iv) Teaching skills: Candidates should be encouraged to teach undergraduate students. The performance should be based on assessment by the faculty members of the department and by feedback from the undergraduate students. (v) Dissertation in the department: Periodic presentations are to be made in the department. Initially the topic selected is to be presented before submission to the university for registration, again before finalization for critical evaluation and another before final submission of the completed work. All assessment must be periodic and by the department staff. (vi) Periodic tests: Tests must be based on problem based short essay questions or objective questions for assessment of theoretical knowledge. For the assessment of clinical skills separate clinical examination be held using both long and short cases. The minimum number of tests recommended are three, preferably at the end of I & 11 & HI months before completion of the course.

RECOMMENDATIONS ADMISSION TO POST GRADUATE COURSE The selection for postgraduate courses should be strictly on the basis of academic merit.

This should be applicable to admissions in government, non-

government and private institutions. Merit should be determined by competitive

PG Curriculum. RGUHS

entrance tests conducted by universities or and agency authorized by the Government of India, preferably the latter. Reservation of seats shall be as per the policy of Government of India. The Dental Council of India (DCI) should make serious efforts to make aptitude testing also a part of the entrance tests. NUMBER OF SEATS Me Government of India, Dental Council of India and the State Governments should make a dental manpower survey and assess the requirement of each state and agree to train only such number as is required to meet the need. In the interim period, there should a moratorium to the total number of candidates admitted for PG course in Conservative dentistry/ Endodontics.

It is recommended that not more than 6-8

students should be admitted per year in an institute for MDS Conservative Dentistry/ Endodontics, to maintain quality. DURATION Minimum period as fixed by the Dental Council was considered inadequate to train an endodontist to practice independently. Therefore a three-year training period for Postgraduate course was recommended.
