Resumen

 This project aimed to enhance the acquisition of procedural knowledge among second year dentistry students enrolled in the courses Dental Biomaterials and Odontology Preclinical Module I (DBOP-I) at the Universidad de Talca. The objective was to determine whether a modification in the evaluation methodology could improve studentsÕ study approaches and thereby strengthen the learning of the competencies included in the module syllabus, particularly during procedural sessions. To this end, a new evaluation instrument named Odonto-Board (O-B) was designed for the subunit ÒComposite Resin Restorations,Ó replacing the traditional Entry Test (ET) system. Upon obtaining informed consent, students were invited to participate, and the project was implemented and assessed over a three-week period. Feedback regarding both methodologies (ET and O-B) was collected through opinion surveys. In conclusion, the modification of the evaluation strategy contributed to a positive shift in studentsÕ study methods, and the new instrument was perceived as a valuable tool for enhancing learning.
