ABSTRACT

Introduction: The clinical phase of dental career involves real patients treatment under the supervision of clinical tutors, who mustn´t be just instructors of techniques, but also demonstrate skills of "to know, to know how and to know how to be". Currently, there is no specific instrument that measures teachers competencies in tutors of dentistry at the University of Concepcion.
Objectives: Evaluate the validity and reliability of an instrument of measurement of teaching competences of the tutor of dentistry. Establish the perception of the teaching competences that the clinical tutor shows according to students of the clinical cycle of the dental career of a traditional Chilean university.
Methods: Cross-sectional study in a non-probabilistic sample of 70 students from the clinical cycle of dentistry of the University of Concepción. The psychometric properties of the Evaluation Questionnaire for Clinical Teachers of Dentistry (CEDC-O) were determined and applied to analyze the perception of teaching competencies.
Results: CEDC-O presented adequate psychometric properties to evaluate teacher competences of tutors of dentistry, with three factors. The students considered that their tutors assigned autonomy and clinical tasks according to their level of experience, but considered that they didn´t stimulate them on how to increase their strengths.
Conclusion: The results showed that CEDC-O presents evidence of validity for use in dental tutors, and that students of this study have a moderate perception of the teaching competencies of their clinical tutors, emphasizing the lack of effective feedback.
