CREDIT-UNIT SYSTEM AND DENTAL EDUCATION: EVALUATING ITS IMPACT ON ACADEMIC PREPAREDNESS AMONG STUDENTS
Abstract
This research investigates the influence of the Credit-Unit System on the academic preparedness of dental students. The Credit-Unit System, a prevalent educational structure, is examined for its impact on the learning outcomes, curriculum efficiency, and overall academic readiness of students pursuing dental education. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, including surveys, interviews, and academic performance analysis, the study aims to provide valuable insights into the strengths and challenges associated with the Credit-Unit System in dental education.
