Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a field training instructor model by analyzing factors influencing satisfaction and dissatisfaction with field training for dental technicians and college students. The aim was to provide useful data for optimizing field training operations.
Methods: An online survey was conducted from July 21 to July 23, 2024, targeting dental technology students across the country who had experienced field training. A total of 111 responses were analyzed. The reliability of the satisfaction factor items for field training was Cronbach’s α=0.853, and for the dissatisfaction factor items, Cronbach’s α=0.850. Data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 21.0 (IBM).
Results: Higher satisfaction with field training resulted in stronger, positive, statistically significant correlations with educational content (p=0.001), expertise and program (p=0.003), communication (p=0.001), and other factors, such as evaluation and ethics (p=0.004). Negative correlations were observed between satisfaction with field training and dissatisfaction factors related to educational content (p=0.020), distance (p=0.038), environment (p=0.026), and welfare (p=0.034).
Conclusion: Competency indicators and behavioral characteristics of field training leaders were identified. The final result included five competencies and 14 behavioral indicators.

Keywords: Dental technicians, Dissatisfaction factors, Field training, Instructor, Satisfaction factor
