Introduction: The successful teaching program comprises of well planned curriculum along with its effective execution system, with the intention that the students acquire maximum significant knowledge in the available time-span. A teaching method consists of the principles and technique used for instruction. The methodology of teaching a topic will influence the students, in the comprehension of the subject as well as in the management of clinical conditions. The very certain fact is; students are undoubtedly in the best position to comment on the effectiveness of any the teaching and evaluation methods.
Objective: To evaluate the different teaching methods practiced in physiology using student’s feedback.
Material And Methods: A written questionnaire covering topics on various teaching and evaluation methods was used to get feedback from students. Descriptive statistics was used for analysis of data. Frequency was shown as percentage.
Results: Most of the students (55%) preferred combination of conventional & advanced methods to make lectures effective. Practical sessions of clinical examination are most interesting (70%)
Conclusion: Students were satisfied with all teaching methods with certain suggestions. Relevant modifications in the curriculum of physiology as well as other medical subjects must be made time to time according to students need.
Keywords: physiology, feedback, teaching methods.
