ABSTRACT:

Background: In our study, we attempted to conduct a comparative study to find out perceptions and preferences of both teachers and students. Until now, mostly students’ perspectives have been obtained regarding teaching methodologies in medical schools. Objective: The main objectives are to evaluate the satisfaction level regarding current teaching system in our college, to find out both the preferred and least preferred teaching methods and to do a comparative analysis of students and teachers’ perceptions. Material and Methods: Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Study Setting and duration: From December 2017 to February 2018, we conducted our study in Fatimah Jinnah Medical University (FJMU), Lahore. Inclusion criteria: Only those members of faculty were given questionnaires who teach MBBS classes. Similarly, only students of MBBS were randomly selected. Data Collection and analysis: Collected data was analyzed using SPSS version 21.0 and various statistical formulas were applied. Out of 175 respondents 100 were students and 75 were teachers.
