Abstract

Background and Objective: The educational process will be useful if the goals for which they are attained are fulfilled during or after the course. The aim of this study was to evaluate the achievement of the educational goals of the Prosthodontics Department of Shahed Dental School in two curricula.
 
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated two dental curricula using CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) model. The study population consisted of all senior students of Shahed Dental School who had completed all of their theoretical and practical units by the end of the year 2016-2017 (C79) and 2018-2019 (C91). The referral sampling method was used. Both groups were given a questionnaire that included the indicators of seeing, hearing, doing and ability to perform. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire were assessed and confirmed. Data were analyzed in SPSS 24 using t-test and chi-square test.
 
Results: In group C79, in the partial removable prosthesis section, the index of seeing was 61%, listening was 43% and performing was 91%. In the complete removable prosthesis section, the rate of seeing was 43%, hearing was 46% and doing was 83%. In fixed prosthesis, the index was 43% for seeing, hearing was 53% and doing was 69%. In group C91 in the partial removable prosthesis section, the index was 67% for seeing, 74% for hearing, and 88% for doing. In the complete removable prosthesis section, the index was 54% for seeing, 70% for hearing, and 71% for performing. In fixed prosthesis, the index was 48% for seeing, hearing was 68% and performing was 62%.
 
Conclusion: In the C91 group, the focus was more on hearing and seeing of students. In the C79 group, however, the focus was more on student performance.
