[Audiovisual programmed teaching].

On the basis of the teaching program example "The taking of alginate impressions in patients", some viewpoints are reported which should be taken into consideration when establishing a teaching program. The choice of the medium or media, for example, is determined by the instructional objective and the type of learning targets which underlie the program. In a preliminary study, not only the first draft of the above-mentioned teaching program was examined, but at the same time it was also found out which factors should be considered in addition to those that are program inherent; e. g., how to integrate the teaching program into the organization of other instructional courses and how to make time and personnel plans for the quality checks of the nonpersonal program.

[Evaluation of a teaching program as caries and periodontal prophylaxis].

Evaluation of the teaching program on caries and periodontal prophylaxis for students in the first preclinical semester in the dental school shows that after four evaluation steps with a total of 159 pro-bands the final test was answered to more than 80%, that it may be expected that about 65% of the knowledge is memorized after one and a half years, and that teaching a patient how to clean his teeth may be regarded as promising with the students having behaved correctly with regard to more than 70% of the most important criteria. Since the training program is independently worked through by the students, in addition to the other lectures, the continuing program may be based on the above mentioned values.

[Report on the learning effect in school children following toothbrushing instruction by students].

After they had gone through a training program on the prevention of caries and periodontal disease, 20 students instructed young patients in how to brush their teeth. One of the students instructed a class of 35 pupils. The change-over from the learning situation to the situation at the patient was successful with 77% of the students. Questionnaires filled out by the patients before and after the instruction reveal that specific information and motivation regarding improved personal oral hygiene had increased.
