ENGLISH SUMMARY: This qualitative research study adopted a phenomenological approach in order to explore the value of instructional video-recorded demonstrations used by dentistry students amongst certain ongoing challenges in a prosthetic restorative techniques module at the University of the Western Cape (UWC). Content overload, limited resources, and time restrictions are some of the experienced challenges that hinder these students’ development of practical skills. Perceptions of the students and facilitators, as well as their experiences of how limited access to timeous guidance and feedback were also explored. The intention was to investigate the purpose and impact of these instructional videos to improve skills training in the prosthetic department of the Dental Faculty, and to understand whether it can make up for the lack of practical skills if used as a complementary or replacement tool. Furthermore, the aim was to see whether the videos bridge the perceived gap between theory and practice. The data collection process consisted of four online focus group discussions with a population that included the facilitators of this module, as well as the first six interested students in each class (third-, fourth- and fifth-year dental students) who volunteered to participate in the study. The sample populations were based on the participants’ distinct experiences with the trial video demonstrations. Being in the same teaching and learning environment as these participants, allowed me a good understanding of what these participants expressed. Everyone was allowed adequate time to contribute, as variety and diversity of opinions were encouraged during the in-depth interactive focus group discussions, which contributed relevant and valuable perspectives from each participants’ exposure to this teaching tool. The data were analysed thematically, and involved basic as well as systematic coding of the participants’ descriptions, while keywords, occurrences, behaviours and interactions were noted. Supplementing traditional teaching and live demonstrations with the instructional videos helps with time management, and allows students to better grasp difficult concepts which therefore contribute to a less stressful teaching and learning environment. This method promotes safe patient treatment, as these students master the complex skills necessary for clinical competency. Currently, no literature is published on the experiences and perceptions of students and teachers using instructional video demonstrations in this module at UWC’s Dental Faculty. I am of the opinion that these improvements could assist the institution with the Dental Faculty’s development and encourage the use instructional video demonstrations to enhance teaching and learning processes. However, further research after implementation is suggested to confirm this. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie kwalitatiewe navorsingstudie het 'n fenomenologiese benadering gevolg om die waarde van instruksionele video-opgeneemde demonstrasies wat deur tandheelkundestudente gebruik word, te ondersoek onder sekere voortdurende uitdagings in 'n prostetiese herstellende tegnieke-module by die Universiteit van Wes-Kaapland (UWK). Inhoudoorlading, beperkte hulpbronne en tydsbeperkings is van die ervare uitdagings wat hierdie studente se ontwikkeling van praktiese vaardighede belemmer. Persepsies van die studente en fasiliteerders, sowel as hul ervarings van hoe beperkte toegang tot tydige leiding en terugvoer is, is ook ondersoek. Die bedoeling was om die doel en impak van hierdie onderrigvideo's te ondersoek om vaardigheidsopleiding in die prostetiese departement van die Tandheelkundige Fakulteit te verbeter, en om te verstaan of dit die gebrek aan praktiese vaardighede kan vergoed indien dit as 'n komplementere of vervangingsinstrument gebruik word. Verder was die doel om te sien of die video's die waargenome gaping tussen teorie en praktyk oorbrug. Die data-insamelingsproses het bestaan uit vier aanlyn fokusgroepbesprekings met 'n populasie wat die fasiliteerders van hierdie module ingesluit het, sowel as die eerste ses belangstellende studente in elke klas (derde-, vierde- en vyfdejaar tandheelkundige studente) wat vrywillig was om deel te neem in die studie. Die steekproefneming was gebaseer op die deelnemers se afsonderlike ervarings met die proefvideo-demonstrasies. Deur in dieselfde onderrig- en leeromgewing as hierdie deelnemers te wees, het my 'n goeie begrip gegee van wat hierdie deelnemers uigebeeld het. Almal is voldoende tyd gegun om by te dra, aangesien verskeidenheid en diversiteit van menings aangemoedig is tydens die in-diepte interaktiewe fokusgroepbesprekings, wat relevante en waardevolle perspektiewe van elke deelnemers se blootstelling aan hierdie onderriginstrument bygedra het. Die data is tematies ontleed, en het basiese sowel as sistematiese kodering van die deelnemers se beskrywings behels, terwyl sleutelwoorde, gebeurtenisse, gedrag en interaksies opgemerk is. Die aanvulling van tradisionele onderrig en lewendige demonstrasies met die instruksionele video's help met tydsbestuur, en stel studente in staat om moeilike konsepte beter te begryp wat dus bydra tot 'n minder stresvolle onderrig- en leeromgewing. Hierdie metode bevorder veilige pasientbehandeling, aangesien hierdie studente die komplekse vaardighede bemeester wat nodig is vir kliniese bevoegdheid. Tans word geen literatuur gepubliseer oor die ervarings en persepsies van studente en onderwysers wat instruksionele videodemonstrasies in hierdie module by UWK se Tandheelkundige Fakulteit gebruik nie. Ek is van mening dat hierdie verbeterings die instelling kan help met die Tandheelkundige Fakulteit se ontwikkeling en die gebruik van instruksionele videodemonstrasies kan aanmoedig om onderrig- en leerprosesse te verbeter. Verdere navorsing na implementering word egter voorgestel om dit te bevestig.
