Therefore, education in the Dental Hygiene program is based on a specialized body of knowledge and skills related to maintaining dental health and focuses upon preparation of a competent specialized professional provider.  Indian Hills Community College believes that learning is an individual and continuous process resulting in behavioral changes which can be measured, that learning is facilitated and affected by motivation, self - discipline and structured experiences and that the role of the instructor is to guide the learner, identify learning needs and implement the best approaches to meet those needs. We further believe that the Dental Hygiene student is an adult learner and as such is ultimately responsible for his/her lifelong learning. We believe that the best knowledge base for practice is a combination of general and technical education. This allows the student to develop into an effective practitioner, responsible, culturally - sensitive citizen and more fulfilled mature individual."},"ceterms:accreditedBy":["https://credentialengineregistry.org/resources/ce-20b0d337-c2de-43b5-a994-d3f4bfc70b78"],"ceterms:occupationType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html","ceterms:targetNode":"https://onetonline.org/link/summary/29-1292.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"29-1292.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Dental Hygienists"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Clean teeth and examine oral areas, head, and neck for signs of oral disease.
