As a strategy to carry out a better achievement in the Biochemistry course, undergraduate dentistry education manage a traditional course on the basic concepts of general chemistry necessary in the understanding of Biochemistry. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of learning outcome, we aimed to develop an evaluation tool that was applied to first-year dental students before and after receiving the general chemistry classes. Randomized trial consisted of 50 items distributed in 10 categories. The evaluation was applied to the students who took the Oral Biology course in the periods comprising 2020, 2021, and 2022 to a population of 109 students. Our results showed that after receiving the course the improvement rate was 20.71% with significant differences in each category. In conclusion, the introductory course allows students coming from different school systems to attend Biochemistry with similar knowledge of general chemistry.

评估普通化学入门课程对就读生物化学课程的牙科学生的有效性


作为生物化学课程取得更好成绩的一项策略，本科牙科教育开设了一门传统课程，介绍理解生物化学所必需的普通化学基本概念。为了评估学习成果的有效性，我们旨在开发一种评估工具，应用于一年级牙科学生在接受普通化学课程之前和之后。随机试验由分布在 10 个类别的 50 个项目组成。该评估适用于 2020 年、2021 年和 2022 年期间参加口腔生物学课程的学生，共有 109 名学生。我们的结果显示，接受课程后，改善率为20.71%，各类别差异显着。总之，入门课程让来自不同学校系统的学生能够以相似的普通化学知识学习生物化学。
