치의학대학원 편입생의 성격유형과 학업성취도 = Transfer Students' Personality Types and Their Academic Performance in a Graduate-Entry Dental School

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

National University School of Dentistry (SNU SD) and delve into what personal types were often observed more competent in academic performance.
Methods:Among 40 students who transferred to SNU SD in 2004, 15 students voluntarily participated in completing the Myers-Briggs type indicator (MBTI; GS form); then, it was tested whether or not their MBTI types would be dependent upon their final grades. In addition, another 32 out of the 50 students who were enrolled through a traditional pre-den system served as a control group.
Results:It was mainly found that ISTJ type was the most typical one for those transfer dental students as well as for other native dental students who excelled in their academic performance. The noticeable majority of transfer students were Introverted (67%),Sensing (80%), Thinking (86%), and Judging (80%), with S-J pattern being statistically significant.
Conclusion:SNU SD has been in a rebuilding process in terms of student/outcome centered dental education to have it up to the global standards. For this reason, it is ultimately a crucial part of that process to understand what personality types of the dental students with different backgrounds in major are observed and thus recognize how to support their learning according to different patterns of individual personality.
