Abstract
Students are regarded as one of the main pillars of university, and hence their satisfaction with the activities carried out at university can be queitly essential for their attitude towards their discipline in order to preserve as well as to promote the quality of effective education. Therefore, this study aimed to examine students’ attitude in regard to education and also the evaluation of endodontic department of Yazd Shahid Sadoughi Dental School in 2013_2014. This cross-sectional study was conducted on all students who had selected practical endodontic units in 2013-2014 (census method). In order to glean the research data, a standardized questionnaire was utilized on which the reliability and validity have been substantiated. Moreover, the study' data were analyzed by applying statistical tests of ANOVA and independent T-test. Then, the study' results revealed that the satisfaction rate of female students was reported less than the amount mentioned by male students in regard with the personnel, and the difference was observed to be significant (P > 0.05). Furthermore, transfer students’ satisfaction level was more than the two other quotas at selecting units, department facilities, instructors, and evaluations. In addition, students of 4th-Practical-endodontic units demonstrated less satisfaction except for evaluation compared to other cases. In general, the highest satisfaction level belonged to the capacity-supplimantary students, whereas the lowest rate of satisfaction was found in the dental students. Students of forth-practical-Endodontic units were less satisfied in coparison to those students of other Endo units. Overall, Endo satisfaction lied at low level.
