Abstract

A methodological innovation is carried out in the teaching-learning process of oral radiology in the Dentistry career of the Universidad de los Andes, an Oral Radiology course was implemented with the b-learning modality in the 6th year 2018, based on on the Moodle platform. This intervention does not constitute a curricular change, but only a methodological one. It was evaluated whether b-learning is an effective methodology for the teaching-learning process in the oral radiology course of the 6th year of Dentistry at the Universidad de los Andes. The scores obtained in a final summative test by the study group (b-learning) were compared with those obtained by the control group (traditional methodology applied the previous 5 years). The perception of the students regarding the b-learning methodology was assessed, for which a survey was applied that considers 4 variables: comprehension, time occupied, motivation and the moderating role of the teacher. The students with the b-learning modality obtained significantly higher grades than the students who followed the same course with the face-to-face modality. The students who worked with the b-learning modality declared themselves satisfied with the b-learning approach to learn oral radiology in the 6th year of Dentistry at the Universidad de los Andes. 95.5% indicated that this methodology motivates their learning and 100% would recommend it to a colleague. 97.7% of the students indicated that the b-learning methodology allows them to have timely help from the teacher and 95.5% that the teacher's actions facilitated their learning. B-learning is an effective methodology for the teaching-learning process in the oral radiology course. The students with the b-learning modality obtained significantly higher grades than the students who followed the same course with the face-to-face modality. The students declare themselves satisfied with the b-learning approach.
