For effective development of policy for faculty advances, it is necessary to know students' views. This study describes the perceptions of clinical students about teaching skills of faculty in the dental schools in Nigeria.
A validated, self-administered questionnaire adapted from Clinical Education Instructional Quality was used to survey 109 dental students from the three dental schools in Nigeria. Score of > or = 45 and > or = 39 was considered good perceptions for "interaction with clinical instructors" and "involvement in specific learning" respectively. Computed perception scores were compared by year of training.
Participants comprised 64 males and 45 females; aged 21.0 to 35.0 years (mean age = 24.2 +/- 2.5 years). Majority (89.0%) of the students had good perception of their interaction with clinical instructors while 89.9% had good perception about their involvement in learning activities. More students in year three than two had positive perception about their interaction with clinical instructors and involvement in activities.
Overall, dental students in Nigeria had good perception of their interaction with their clinical instructors and involvement in various learning activities but they desired more opportunity to get involve especially in the aspects of dental procedures, patients' vital signs and interpretation of laboratory tests.
为有效制定教师晋升政策，了解学生的看法很有必要。本研究描述了尼日利亚临床学生对牙科学院教师教学技能的看法。
采用一份根据《临床教育教学质量》改编的经过验证的自填式问卷，对尼日利亚三所牙科学院的109名牙科学生进行调查。“与临床教师互动”得分≥45分、“参与特定学习”得分≥39分分别被视为良好看法。计算出的看法得分按培训年份进行比较。
参与者包括64名男性和45名女性；年龄在21.0至35.0岁之间（平均年龄=24.2±2.5岁）。大多数（89.0%）学生对与临床教师的互动有良好看法，而89.9%的学生对参与学习活动有良好看法。三年级学生比二年级学生对与临床教师的互动及参与活动有更积极的看法。
总体而言，尼日利亚的牙科学生对与临床教师的互动以及参与各种学习活动有良好看法，但他们希望有更多机会参与，尤其是在牙科操作、患者生命体征和实验室检查解读方面。
