BSEMD Capstone Proposal Form
Requirements of Project Proposal Documentation and Talk
Name: Radhika Mistry
1.) Pedagogical Rationale (50-100 words, 1-2 Slides)
 Give a pedagogical emphasis for your work, briefly summarizing sources from pedagogy posts and of interest to you.
 Starting off with my focus audience, I have 2 sets of audience, general public and dental students/dentists. For general public, my area of emphasis is on creating awareness about oral health care based on the misconceptions. Creating a small animation related to life cycle of the tooth and movie with interviews and opinions about dentistry.
 For dental students, I would want to make learning more visual using animations, websites or video. Considering a topic of interest is the relation between oral health and / or manifestations and systemic diseases.
2.) Background Content (50-100 words, 1-2 Slides)
 List the science would you like to learn at UCI to incorporate into your project?
 Media designing in various forms like graphic designing, animation and video production. I really want to explore the world of research and be able to participate/ assist one, for I have heard and read but haven’t got a chance to perform, to know if that is a preference for a long-term profession. Even if not long term, it is a part of every field.
 As per the research topic I have found interest in is neurobiology and behavioral science.
 A course on ethics
3.) Standards Addressed (50-100 words, 1-2 Slides)
 Cross-reference your project to official content standards, such as NGSS, National science frameworks, State Science Standards and/or AP/IB, or similar standards for your specific field and audience.
 The standard to compare and requiring approval for in dental sciences would be from the ‘American Dental Association’ http://www.ada.org/4081.aspx
 For the state in which produced, should be cross-referenced with the state standards and laws. For California, http://www.dbc.ca.gov/
4.) Media Overview (50-100 words, 1-2 Slides)

 How will you use media to build your project, and comment upon your
“comparison-based prototyping” for examples?
(Though I will soon update my comp-based proto ex)
 I would use a lot of animation and graphic design for the cycle of tooth development, growth and geriatric changes.
 Picture of the lesions or signs
 Video covers the misconceptions of the patient
5.) User Instructions/Manual (50-100 words, 1-2 Slides)
 How will you ensure fidelity of implementation, i.e. that your product is used in the way intended?
 How might you distribute the end-user instructions manual?
 Starting off with not publishing on the public/social network. Rather approaching a school or clinic for practical use of it.
 Getting feedback from the users for relevant modifications
 Followed by marketing it to a few schools/clinics OR publishing on personal website
6.) Lesson/Implementation Plans (50-100 words, 1-2 Slides)
 How would your project/product be used into a classroom (or other audience)?
 How might you train ing end-users?
 For classroom use, the video/animation can be used for teaching.
The oral-systemic website can be more like a visual e-book for studying in class and for future reference as well.
 Probably by adding the content and scope of the design for the users. (I am not very sure of many more options)
7.) Assessment Tools (50-100 words, 1-2 Slides)
 What types of assessments could you use to evaluate your product, and give some examples look?
 As already mentioned, feedback (feedback form) from students
(probably final year) and fresh graduates.
 Suggestions from experts in the field (though it will require networking but I sure would want to make it happen to the best possible extent)
 And try to possibly get evaluation globally from dentists that practice in different parts of the world (for it can be something very innovative for a few and just a piece of modification for some)

8.) Bibliographic References (minimum 20 total for proposal, 1-2 Slides)
 Literature Review with one paragraph per reference (pedagogy, media, science content)
 http://www.ada.org
 http://www.oralsystemicconnection.com/
 http://www.oralsystemicevaluationcenter.com/index.html
 http://www.dentalaegis.com/id/2005/12/the-oral-systemic-link-howmuch-do-we-know
 (More to come)
9.) Bibliographic Video of your research interests and developing project (5-10 minute video)
 http://www.mouthhealthy.org/en/az-topics/d/diabetes
 http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=18787866
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8rbj6qRuC4
