SPECIALIZATION IN DENTISTRY:
STANDARD EDUCATIONAL MATRIX (MEP) – GRADUATE PROGRAM AT SÃO LEOPOLDO MANDIC
UNIVERSITY DEFINITIONS
Competence: defined as the combination of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. An individual who develops a competency possesses authority and expertise in a field of knowledge and practice, being capable of expressing a value judgment on a subject in which they are well-versed.
Competence in Education
KNOWLEDGE – What students should know and understand upon completion of the course.
Courses will outline this through the syllabus
. SKILLS – What students should be able to do upon completion of the course.
Courses will outline these through descriptions of learning opportunities designed to develop these skills, such as laboratory and clinical activities.
ATTITUDES – The ethical conduct and professional demeanor that students should demonstrate when interacting with patients, in their relationships with colleagues, faculty, and staff, and in challenging situations.
This will be a professional commitment undertaken by the coordinators and their team regarding the development of their students in this regard.
Educational Objective: Educational objectives should describe what students should know or be able to do by the end of the course—things they were not able to do before. Educational objectives are not abstract (“students will understand what constitutes high-quality literature”) or overly specific (“students will know what a foundation is”), nor should they be restricted to lower-level cognitive skills (“students will be able to identify teeth on an X-ray”). Each individual educational objective must be grounded in a course competency, which serves as a reference point and guiding thread, uniting all the topics to be covered and all the skills students should have developed by the end of the course.
