Self-instruction in dentistry: a critique.

Recent activity and interest in self-instruction and programmed self-instruction emerged from studies which demonstrated the central importance of learner response with prompt consequences. Self-instructional procedures in formal education, e.g., teaching machines, were initially designed to be an improvement over conventional show-and-tell instruction in the arrangement of systematic student response, prompt consequences, and student self-pacing. A minority of self-instructional procedures in dentistry reflect that intent. The evidence discussed suggests that dental education may be the worse for that omission. Suggestions for the improvement of self-instructional in dentistry are presented.

Self-instructed relaxation: a therapeutic alternative.

A self-instructed relaxation program was compared with therapist-instructed relaxation and waiting list controls. Self-report anxiety measures ( IPAT and STAI ) and a psychophysiological stress profile (frontal EMG, GSR, heart rate, finger temperature monitored under relaxation and stressor conditions) were utilized pre- and posttreatment to determine efficacy. Self-monitored heart rate, respiration rate, and finger temperature were used to monitor home practice sessions. Subjects reported increased ability to relax and control stress; however, frontal EMG measured under stressor conditions was the only dependent measure to confirm this perception. No between-group differences on any other dependent measures were observed. Reliable changes on all self-monitored home practice measures were observed, suggesting that this procedure is a useful gauge of home practice.
