The role of social media in the construction of knowledge in Dentistry

Journal Title: Stomatos - Year 2018, Vol 24, Issue 47

Abstract

This theoretical article discusses the construction of knowledge in dentistry in the context of the Network Society, bringing this theme closer to the point of view of some contemporary Social Science writers, nowadays in vogue. The specialized bibliography indicates that the society lives in a constant transformation, proof of this is that the construction of pedagogical knowledge in dentistry occurs today with greater intensity in the internet, mainly in the social media, than through the search in books. Because this new form of knowledge aggregation is a reality, it is of fundamental importance that qualified people are vectors of transmission of this knowledge, in a didactic and scientific basis. In addition, it is up to teachers to adapt to the new style of construction of pedagogical knowledge, developing more interactive classes and with the help of tools that attract the attention of their students and, at the same time, offer them quality information.
