Scope of the study: Psychomotor skills are an important learning domain for an undergraduate student in the teaching and learning of an orthodontic course.
Methods: A change in mode of teaching by the teacher and learning modality from the students was made in psychomotor skills based CLO [Course Learning Objective]. A mandatory exercise given to students t watch live video demonstration in the laboratory and then live hands-on demonstration was delivered before they practice or learn the intended practical. CLO [Course Learning Objective] analysis of the Orthodontic Novice course over a period of last 4 years from 2019-20 till 2022-23 was used for the study. The data retrieved from the orthodontic division of the preventive dentistry department.
Feedback Mechanism: The authenticity of the study was through the internal audit reports from the department council.
Results: Course reports evaluation over the period of last four years showed an improvement in the CLO
achieved for the psychomotor skill-based CLO.
Conclusion: These results suggest the procedural video was as good as the live demonstration in teaching and learning psychomotor skills but a combination of both proved to be better. This combined approach of Video-Live Combo Demonstration [VLCD] proved to be effective in curriculum and hence recommended for the implementation in courses with both didactic and practical.
