So how do you see our teaching? Some observations received from past and present students at the Maurice Wohl Dental

Abstract:
This study explores student perceptions of clinical teaching delivered at the Maurice Wohl Dental Centre, King's College London Dental Institute. An on-line survey together with two paper-based questionnaires were used to invite three immediate past cohorts of final-year dental students to reflect and comment on their experiences during their year of attendance. Supporting data from current student focus group and face-to-face interviews were also included in the study. The principal findings from these triangulated methodologies were that the overwhelming majority of students felt they got on very well with their teachers. The development of a positive professional relationship with the teacher appeared to motivate students to work better. Teaching thought to be overly didactic and authoritarian would not be well received. The principal teaching style identified at the Centre was considered to be supportive and nurturing, encouraging a self-motivated and reflective approach to clinical practice.
