Haptic Environments to Enhance Teaching and Learning in Surgery and Medical Education: The Interface with drawing research via the hapTEL experience
STEAMM Science Technology Engineering Art Mathematics Medicine
Introduction The hapTEL project has been developing and evaluating a virtual dental work-station since July 2007 Since 2011 we have been investigating the relationship between students’ clinical skills and drawing
Method Interdisciplinary Phase Year 1 cohort n=130, investigated relationship between computer drilling skills logs and drawing journal Initial drawing task was drawing a ceramic tooth which the student could not see but only touch 2 week period to visually record images of the ceramic tooth in their journal

Study Design (Large scale trials)
Examples of assessment techniques
Ceramic object for ‘blind drawing’ 5 x 3 x2 cms J E 2012 ‘blind drawing’ pencil on paper 30 x 21 cms
Postgraduate Trial study:MA Drawing students exploring and recording ceramic object
Kings College Dental students exploring and recording ceramic object
Dental student journal drawings using conventional drawing materials
Close observational drawing using sight and touch together with experimental investigation
Recording using non conventional drawing materials

Data from HapTEL unit(2012) User Name: H115 D12 16.10.12 Cavity=4 Material Logs Enamel: Remaining 98.61% Dentine: Remaining 99.01% Carie: Removed 74.14% Pulp exposed: No Pulp: Removed 0% Timing Logs Total Duration: 143.26 seconds Time at first contact: 24.01 seconds Time spent Drilling: 80.24 seconds
Initial drawing performance comparison
Results The preliminary analysis from the journals with comparison to the computer log files indicate a correlation between certain drawing styles and the virtual clinical performance in hapTEL
Implications for Teaching The results of the study are a practical example of a pedagogical strategy that could incorporate TEL methods into under/postgraduate programmes in Dentistry, Surgery and other related fields
