_________ 3. Significance of the gap

_________ 4. Implications of the gap in Local Context

_________ 5. Statement of aims

Choices

a. This thesis will develop an assessment tool to develop students’ critical thinking skills in

Victorian Dental Schools.

b. The Victorian Dental School are no exception to this problem and have only now chosen to

radically change their curricula.

c. Dental education in Australia has traditionally been characterised by discipline based lecture

style teaching.

d. The result of this failure is that australian dental schools are heavily technique driven, with

little room for development of students as critical thinking clinicians.

e. As the dental profession has evolved, with new techniques and expanded scope of practice,

curricula in Australian dental schools have failed to keep pace.

Answer 1

1) General Statement = C: this is because it is giving general context about the topic

2) Identification of a gap = E: in this example the 'gap' is the failure of Australian schools to keep up with new conventions

3) Significance of a gap = D: this describes why this issue/gap is a problem and must be addressed

4) Implications of the gap in a local context = B: this narrows the issue down to a specific example, in this case, schools in one area rather than the whole country

5) Statement of aims = A: the use of the word 'will' here is a good indicator that this is the focused claim/goal/aim
