Abstract:

Kolb discussed that learning in a clinical environment is a process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience.This type of learning has a fundamental role in maxillofacial departments across the UK. The process in which the individual learns directly from experience is a common procedure as a DCT. In 2016, COPDEND produced a national curriculum. Section 1.12 recognises the DCT as teachers and understands the role including developing the clinical teacher and delivering presentations at regional/national/international meetings�?�. Heutagogy is a philosophical approach, engaging the student to pursue in their own learning objectives. With this idea, they may enhance the skills and knowledge they possess through learning and also build on principles to facilitate their own education.
