Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the degree of satisfaction of students and teachers, and to
determine whether the students notice improvements in learning and in the learning environment as a result of the
use of clicker.
Material and Methods: Descriptive study. Fifty-one students and 8 teachers participated in the use of clicker technology in 8 preclinical seminars in dental pathology. Students and teachers filled a three-domain questionnaire at the
end of the preclinical course. We used the Mann-Whitney U-test to compare the results between the two groups.
Results: The domain “perception and expectation” showed the use of clickers to be simple and convenient for 80%
of the students, who expressed interest in extending the practice to other teaching areas. In the domain “active
learning”, over 70% of the students found the technique to be dynamic, participative and motivating. In the domain
“improved learning”, over 70% considered it useful to know their level of knowledge before the seminar and found
the contents of the lesson to be clear. Thirty percent considered the items of the examination to be of a complexity
similar to that of the first and second tests. Only in this latter aspect were significant differences found between the
teachers and students (
p
=0.001).
Conclusions: Participants described the use of clickers as simple and useful, motivating and participative. Both the
students and teachers considered the technique to improve teaching and the learning environment
