Objective.
The current model of education has been suffering changes, undergoing renovations, and seeking using and enjoying increasingly technological resources, as, for example, the Learning Management System (LMS).
One of the most used LMS platforms is the Modular Object Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (Moodle).
This article proposes to demonstrate how Moodle platform was introduced in the subject of Stomatology through a clear and objective methodology.
Study Design.
In six months, 49 undergraduate students enrolled in stomatology subject accessed Moodle platform 2067 times and performed 02 evaluation exams at Discipline of Stomatology.
Statistical analysis was performed by paired t-test (comparison between number of access times before the first evaluation and number of access times before the second evaluation), Wilcoxon test (student’s grade on the first and second evaluation), and Pearson correlation test (correlation between the number of access times before the first evaluation and the first grade, correlation between the number of access times before the second evaluation and the second grade, and correlation between the variation of the number of access times and the variation of the student’s grade).
Results and Conclusion.
The digital platform Moodle was associated with better grade for those students who access it for more times (p<0,001) and was able to supply the needs of the students and help them to obtain information about the subject during the entire semester (6 months).
