Objective: Technological developments affect educational processes, learning methods, and learning environments. Dentistry education should be adapted parallel with technological developments for students whose learning habits change with the increasing using of social media and mobile phones. This study aims to compare the efficacy of the mobile-based education method (Instagram application) and the traditional classroom education method. Material and Methods: The study was conducted with 42 volunteer students who had not taken general and oral pathology courses yet. Students (n:21) in the control group took radiological features of the odontogenic and non-odontogenic cysts and odontogenic tumors course by the classroom learning method. The study group (n:21) followed the same lessons' images on the newly opened @beuradyoloji Instagram account. Both groups were trained for 1 hour a week for 4 weeks. The knowledge test was held 15 days after the end of the courses to all students. Paired sample t-test was performed to investigate differences between the mean knowledge test scores of the groups. Results: The examination average for the study group was 71.97±9.3 and the control group was 68.33±8.39. Paired sample t-test showed no significant difference between the study and control groups in knowledge scores (p>0.05). Conclusion: The current study is the first that investigates the effect of the mobile-based education method on radiological features of the specific cysts and tumors. The study carried out on a limited number of students, shows that the value of mobile-based education has almost the same effectiveness to classroom education.

Amaç: Teknolojik gelişmeler eğitim süreçlerini, öğrenme yöntemlerini ve öğrenme ortamlarını etkilemektedir. Dişhekimliği eğitimi, öğrenciler için öğrenme alışkanlıkları, sosyal medya ve cep telefonlarının kullanımıyla birlikte artan teknolojik gelişmelere paralel olarak uyarlanmalıdır. Bu çalışma, mobil tabanlı eğitim yönteminin (Instagram uygulaması) ve geleneksel sınıf eğitimi yönteminin etkinliğini karşılaştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırma henüz genel ve oral patoloji dersi almamış 42 gönüllü öğrenci ile yürütüldü. Kontrol grubundaki öğrenciler (n: 21), odontojenik ve odontojenik olmayan kistler ve odontojenik tümörler dersinin radyolojik özelliklerini sınıf öğrenme yöntemi ile aldı. Çalışma grubu (n: 21) yeni açılan @beuradyoloji hesabındaki aynı derslerin görüntülerini takip etti. Her iki grup 4 hafta boyunca haftada 1 saat eğitim aldı. Bilgi testi derslerin bitiminden 15 gün sonra tüm öğrencilere yapıldı. Grupların ortalama bilgi testi puanları arasındaki farklılıkları araştırmak için eşli örnek t-testi yapıldı. Bulgular: Çalışma grubu için test ortalaması 71.97±9.3 ve kontrol grubu için 68.33±8.39 idi. Eşli örnek t-testi, çalışma ve kontrol grupları arasında bilgi skorlarında anlamlı bir fark göstermedi (p>0.05). Sonuç: Bu çalışma, mobil tabanlı eğitim yönteminin spesifik kist ve tümörlerin radyolojik özellikleri üzerindeki etkisini araştıran ilk çalışmadır. Sınırlı sayıda öğrenci üzerinde yapılan çalışma, mobil tabanlı eğitimin değerinin sınıf eğitimi ile hemen hemen aynı etkinliğe sahip olduğunu göstermektedir.
