Teaching in most Asian countries is still dominated by teacher-centered classrooms in which students passively receive information from the teacher. Studies have shown that students' inactivity in traditional teacher-centered classes makes them bored that consequently decrease their concentration and learning. To counter these problems active learning methods are being promoted to enhance their interest in studying. This present study was done to explore effective teaching system from a student's perspective. The aim of the study was to examine the attitude of medical and dental first year students towards teaching methods.
The study was undertaken at on 150 Medical and Dental first year students. The study was conducted using general questionnaires along with feedback form to know their opinion about different teaching methodology.
A 94.67% of the students were unsatisfied with traditional Lecture teaching. 89.33% favoured combination of traditional lectures and active learning techniques, 74.67% students find active learning methods to be interesting, 77.33% found them as attention seekers, 89.33% are motivated for in-depth study and 85.33% students are motivated for independents learning. 100% students agreed that active learning methods provide opportunities of student interaction while 86.67% students are happy with the teacher-student interaction it provides.

该研究对150名医学和牙医学一年级学生进行。研究使用一般问卷和反馈表来了解他们对不同教学方法的看法。
94.67%的学生对传统的讲座式教学不满意。89.33%的学生赞成传统讲座与主动学习技术相结合，74.67%的学生认为主动学习方法有趣，77.33%的学生认为它们能吸引注意力，89.33%的学生有动力进行深入学习，85.33%的学生有动力进行自主学习。100%的学生同意主动学习方法提供了学生互动的机会，而86.67%的学生对其提供的师生互动感到满意。视听教具是最受欢迎的（94.67%），而测试问题是最受批评的主动教学方法。
