Abstract
This study aimed to develop the instructional design for postgraduate students in seminar courses in oral and maxillofacial surgery I and II covering academic skills on reading, analyzing and searching related literatures, presenting, discussing and synthesizing the literature- data for application and writing academic article in oral and maxillofacial surgery. The instructional design based on co-operative and project based learning concepts was developed. The teaching techniques comprised deduction, induction, small group discussion and self-study. The courses were implemented to 5 postgraduate students enrolling into seminar in oral and maxillofacial surgery I and II in the first semester (1 hour/week) and the second semester (2 hours/week) in 2006, respectively. The formative evaluation with authentic assessment was undertaken. The results of this design were evaluated from the academic grading, descriptive data from the in depth interview of the students by the researcher not in the teaching team and the numbers of academic papers published by the students in 2 years after graduated. The outcome of the courses included 4 academic articles from 4 students and 1 research proposal from 1 student. From the in depth interview showed that the students appreciated the co-operative and project based learning enhancing their confidence and ability of searching and synthesizing the literatures and writing academic article or research proposal in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Two students were graded into very good to excellent levels while the other 3 students were in the excellent level. For 2 years after graduation, there have been 2 review literatures and 1 research article, from 3 former students, published in the national dental journals. In conclusion, the instructional design based on co-operative and project based learnings can develop the skills of searching, synthesizing the literatures and writing the academic articles in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
