Course Learning Outcomes

On completion of the stream you will be expected to be able to:

1. Recognise and explain the complex multi-factorial aetiology of dental caries (including the development of the initial lesion), factors relating to the process of the demineralisation and remineralisation of teeth and broader social determinants including family, community and environmental factors.

2. Demonstrate knowledge of the role of fluorides particularly with regard to historical background, physiology, the effect on the oral ecology and tissue changes observed over time.

3. Understand and explain the natural phenomenon of toothwear and to be competent in assessment and management when this is occurring at a rate beyond normal.

4. Define the terms health, health education, health promotion and apply them to the general and dental health setting in the management of individual patients and community groups.

5. Describe the Ottawa Charter and Jakarta Declaration through the process of planning, developing, implementing and evaluating a group health education / promotion project.

Learning & Teaching Activities

Learning & Teaching Modes

Class meetings/Case based activity

2 -3 hours of class meetings, case base activities and/or resource sessions per week.

These sessions will be used for introducing and exploring topics, but may also be used for interactive learning, student presentations, discussions and assessments. The times of the sessions and room allocations will vary depending on the structure of the session. Students will be advised of these as necessary throughout the course of the year.

Research Skill Development Framework

The RSD framework has been instrumental in helping to align the development of your academic skills with your clinical competencies to promote students to become evidence based, holistic practitioners. Dental & Health Science IIOH will again be using the RSD framework to inform curriculum design, plan student activities, provide a vehicle for evaluation and drive student assessment. We are looking for students to have skills developed at level 3 by the completion of this course.

One of the key advantages of using the RSD framework is that it challenges you to continue todevelop your own ‘curiosity’ as a health practitioner. It maps out the skills required (or the ‘6 sides of clinical problem solving’ if you like) to be able to provide the level of patient care that the public demands in Australia today. Whether you are find yourself in health care administration, management, providing clinical services or researching and analytics, the RSD paves the way for you to identify certain skills required for you to reach your personal goals. If you weren’t familiar with it enough in first year, you will have a good opportunity to review it again in BOH 2.

Workload

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

On average students should expect 2-3 hours per week of face to face contact time and approximately 2-3 hours per week in preparation and assessment.

Learning Activities Summary

Details will be made available on MyUni.

Small Group Discovery Experience

Students do undertake a Small Group Discovery Experience (SGDE in Part 2 of this course).
Assessment
The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

Assessment Related Requirements

ASSESSMENT RULES

You will be required to complete individual and group based assessments. Individual assessments are your own work and reflect the University Policy on Academic Honesty. Please review this policy carefully. There will be no exceptions to how cases of plagiarism if detected are to be handled.

http://www.adelaide.edu.au/elc/policy/plagiarism.html

Individual assessment will include a range of assessments on three different topics with clinical application.

Each written assessment task is to be submitted electronically via Turnitin (unless authorised otherwise by you coordinator).

To obtain a pass grade over all in this stream you must obtain an average mark of 50% or more for the year's work, and you must obtain a mark of 55% or more for your work in Semesters 1 and 2. Redemption of any unsatisfactory assessment tasks will be at the discretion of the course coordinator and may be dependent on other results.

The requirements are that you must sit for / attend / and perform to a satisfactory standard all specified assessment pieces.

Attendance to and participation in case or problem based learning activities (including tutorials) and research based exercises are also a problem.

FEEDBACK

You will receive feedback from a variety of sources. Onging feedback of your performance during your assessment tasks is for your benefit and allows you to validate how you are progressing in DHSIIOH Part 1. It also provides staff with opportunities to monitor your performance, both theoretical and practical. It is your responsibility to incorporate this feedback into your learning.

Further details of the grades/results can be obtained from Examinations.

Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.

Final results for this course will be made available through Access Adelaide.
Student Feedback

The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.
