Students’ learning environment perception and the transition to clinical training in dentistry

Abstract

Students' LE perception deteriorates throughout the curriculum, especially within the Pt-Ct transition, during the second and third years of the programme. An inferior LE perception was observed in every domain of the LE questionnaire within this transition showing a learning experience, which requires an educational intervention. Further research is required to better understand the educational needs of the Pt-Ct transition at this school.
