DEFINITIONS

Competence: is defined by the combination of knowledge, skills, and
attitudes. An individual who develops competence possesses authority and
notability in a field of knowledge and practice, being able to express a
value judgment about something they are knowledgeable in with integrity.

Competence in Education

KNOWLEDGE – What students should know and understand upon
completion of the course.
The courses will present this through the syllabus.

SKILLS – What students should be able to do upon completion
of the course.
The courses will present, through descriptions of
learning opportunities, how to develop skills such as laboratory and
clinical activities.

ATTITUDES – What ethical conduct and professional posture
should students demonstrate when interacting with patients, in
their relationships with colleagues, professors, and staff, and in adverse situations?
This will be a commitment undertaken by the coordinators and their
team regarding the development of their students in this aspect.

Educational Objective: Educational objectives should describe what
students should know or be able to do by the end of the course, and what they were not
able to do before. Educational objectives are not abstract (“students
will understand what good quality literature is”), or specific (“students
will know what a foundation is”), nor should they be restricted to
lower-level cognitive skills (“students will be able to identify teeth on an
X-ray”). Each individual educational objective should support a
course competency, which is a reference point, a guiding thread, that unites all the subjects.

which topics will be covered and all the skills that students should have
developed by the end of the course.

cavity preparation is understood as a sequence of standardized procedures for
metallic or indirect restorations, while cavity adaptation is limited to the
removal of total or partial carious tissue and adaptation of the superficial cavity for
direct adhesive restoration, independent of the standard cavity design, since each
carious cavity will be different, it is not considered "cavity preparation").
