QUIZ E SUA APLICABILIDADE EM SALA DE AULA: RELATO DE EXPERIÊNCIA

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: This work explores the application of quizzes as an innovative tool in teaching Dentistry, in line with active learning methodologies. As education evolves, contemporary students seek to not only acquire knowledge but also apply it in practical ways in their lives. In this scenario, the use of electronic quizzes stands out as a strategy that promotes greater student engagement and participation, allowing them to test their knowledge in real time. OBJECTIVE: This work will report the experience of applying the quiz to undergraduate Dentistry students, in order to describe aspects of its applicability. METHODS: The experience carried out with undergraduate Dentistry students involved the implementation of quizzes in a theoretical class, covering relevant topics such as cavity preparations and adhesive techniques. RESULTS: The methodology used facilitated interaction, with the use of mobile devices and immediate feedback, essential for content retention. Additionally, the quizzes were designed to foster collaboration between students, promoting an active and dynamic learning environment. The results showed that the application of quizzes not only enriched the educational experience, but also improved students' understanding of the topics covered. Immediate feedback gave students a clear view of their knowledge gaps, allowing them to adjust their learning strategies. CONCLUSION: In short, the use of quizzes in Dentistry proved to be an effective approach and at the same time promotes a culture of collaborative and reflective learning.
