title: Reviewing the role of educational domains and problem-based learning in dental curricula. Part I: The concept of educational domains and their integration.
abstract: This review of educational domains and problem-based learning in dental curricula examines the concept of educational domains under the following headings: the domains of skills and knowledge within which we expect students to demonstrate proficiency whether a course should be integrated, both vertically and horizontally between academic disciplines whether these domains are achievable by problem-based learning in whole or in part, and the type of learning domain or skill which is expected from students, such as cognitive, psychomotor and affective. Part I will deal with the first two aspects, while Part II (to be published in SADJ September 2000) will deal with problem-based learning (PBL) and the skills required of students.
