Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy (IOSRPHR) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 9

Abstract

 Lectures have been the most common form of teaching and learning since ancient times. Success of lecturing sessions is inextricably linked with the excellent teaching process. The objective of our study was to find out medical students views about good teacher.The study instrument was a self-administered questionnaire. The study design was cross sectional. 86 pre-clinical M.B.B.S students volunteered to take part in the study. The questionnaire required the respondents to rate 15 parameters and responses were based on a 5 point Likert-scale. Descriptive statistics was used for analysis of data and results were expressed as percentage. Among females, majority 30 (63.9%) agreed for use of technology by teachers followed by 29(61.8%) strongly agreeing for teacher summarizing topic at the end of the class, 28(59.7%) for teacher to use simple language and 27(57.4%) for teacher to have good sense of humour. Among males, majority 36 (92.16%) strongly agreed for teacher to have good sense of humour followed by 29(74.3%) for teacher summarising topic at the end of the lecture, 27(69.1%) for teacher to have command on subject. Students views should be considered and follow up studies should be carried out so that appropriate changes in teaching style can be made to justify the place of lecture as a mode of instruction in undergraduate medical education.
