Table 2.

The script for the submodule ‘making a low-angle drill hole’

Background: goal The goal is to learn how to properly make a low-angle drill hole.
Background: importance A variety of bone-implant constructs require a low-angle drill hole.
Demonstrate
Behavior 1
Describe the behavior Grip means to comfortably hold the drill in your nondominant hand.
Instruct Grip the drill with your nondominant hand in a position to use it.
Demonstrate
Repeat demonstration with instruction Grip the drill with your nondominant hand in a position to use it.
Identify the tag point The tag point is “grip.”
Practice Practice to fluency with a peer marking the behavior 5x with a clicker.
Behavior 2
Describe the behavior Locate means to place the drill tip on the target.
Instruct Locate the drill tip on the target.
Demonstrate
Repeat demonstration with instruction Grip and then locate the drill tip on the target.
Identify the tag point The tag point is “locate.”
Practice Practice to fluency with a peer marking the behavior 5x with a clicker.
Behavior 3
Describe the behavior The goal is to stabilize the drill tip, perpendicular to the surface at the desired location, with the nondominant hand.
Instruct Stabilize the drill, perpendicular to the surface at the desired location, with the nondominant hand.
Demonstrate
Repeat demonstration with instruction Grip, locate, and then stabilize the drill tip, perpendicular to the surface at the desired location, with the nondominant hand.
Identify the tag point The tag point is “stabilize.”
Practice Practice to fluency with a peer marking the behavior 5x with a clicker.
Behavior 4
Describe the behavior The goal is to make a dimple in the material and remove the drill bit while it is spinning at low speed.
Instruct Make a dimple with the drill running at very low speed and remove it while it is still spinning.
Demonstrate
Repeat demonstration with instruction Grip, locate, stabilize, and then make a dimple with the drill running at very low speed and remove it while it is still spinning.
Identify the tag point The tag point is “make a dimple.”
Practice Practice to fluency with a peer marking the behavior 5x with a clicker.
Behavior 5
Describe the behavior The goal is with the drill tip in the dimple, angle the drill bit at the target.
Instruct In the dimple, angle the drill bit at the target.
Demonstrate
Repeat demonstration with instruction Grip, locate, stabilize, make a dimple, and then in the dimple angle the drill at the target
Identify the tag point The tag point is “angle.”
Practice Practice to fluency with a peer marking the behavior 5x with a clicker.
Behavior 6
Describe the behavior The goal is to drill the low-angle hole and remove the drill bit from the material.
Instruct Drill the low-angle hole and then remove the drill while spinning at full speed.
Demonstrate
Repeat demonstration with instruction Grip, locate, stabilize, make a dimple, angle and drill the low-angle hole and then remove the drill bit while spinning at full speed.
Identify the tag point The tag point is “remove at full speed.”
Practice Practice to fluency with a peer marking the behavior 5x with a clicker.
Performance cue Make a low-angle drill hole.
