This descriptive type of cross sectional study was conducted with the objective to study quality of current practices of large group teaching in selected medical colleges. This study was conducted at different government and non government medical colleges in the year 2007 adopting the convenient sampling using a checklist filled up by participatory observation at 36 lecture classes. The study revealed that the characteristics of the effective lecture are not strictly maintained in the present lecture classes in the medical colleges. Although due to time constraint the study was conducted at limited measure. The study reveals that more than thirty percent of the teachers did not attend any teaching methodology course. The medical colleges are lack in instructional media. More than twenty-seven percent teachers did not mention objectives at the beginning of the lecture. During informal interview some teachers expressed that mentioning objectives at the beginning is wastage of time. Some teacher's expressed that these methodologies of western culture do not fit in the context of Bangladesh due to limited resources, shortage of manpower and over crowding of students. More than eleven percent teachers did not use any visual aid and more than half of the teachers used visual that could not be read from the last bench. Fifty percent of the aid medical teachers do not summarize their lecture at the end. In seventeen percent lecture classes, the students only opened their mouth to respond to the attendance call. The study recommended that all the medical teachers should attend the teaching methodology course as a must. There should be regular visit to the medical colleges lecture galleries informally by authority concerned to ensure the required facilities of lecture classes. Students' evaluation, lecturers' self-rating may really trigger the teachers to identify their deficiencies, and can make real difference. Institute should ensure that teachers are given the support necessary for them to function effectively. Essential audiovisual support should be provided to the teachers for effective delivery of lecture. Key words: Large group teaching; medical college.

Introduction: Faculty development has become an essential part of any medical college for effective teaching-learning session. Centre for Medical Education (CME) has been organizing ‘teaching methodology’ workshop to train up the medical teachers in Bangladesh as a part of the faculty development programme. Objectives: To assess the students’ views regarding teaching performances of the teachers who had attended the workshop of CME. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in thirteen selected medical colleges of Bangladesh. Students’ opinions were collected by a structured questionnaire of 5-point Likert scale that included 13 separate positive statements regarding teaching performances. For each statement, the mean score was calculated and interpreted as, excellent ≥ 4, Good ≥ 3 to ≤ 4, satisfactory ≥ 2 to ≤ 3, unsatisfactory ≤ 2. But mean score ≤3 indicates deficit aspect of performances. Results: According to students’ aggregated views, teaching performances of 15% teachers were excellent, 51% were good, 25% were satisfactory and 9% were unsatisfactory. Conclusion: The trained teachers are not practising the expected standards in the tutorial classes in all aspects. Initiatives should be taken to pay more attention to deficit aspect of performances.

Private sector college overall score was better than public sector college but with no significant difference. Private sector medical college score was better in all DREEM subscales except Students’ Academic Self-Perception in which public college scored 18± 5 and private college scored 16± 5. Conclusion: There is a significant margin for improvement for all domains of the educational environment in both public and private sector medical colleges, especially the low scores in the domain of Students’ Social Self Perceptions need attention.

Abstract Introduction: Bedside teaching is an important but declining strategy in medical education. The regulatory authority’s insistence on structure of an institute needs be supplemented with quality of bedside teaching. The objective of this study was to find perceptions and compare bedside teaching among students of public and private medical colleges of Peshawar. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at four medical colleges of Peshawar during the month of February 2020. A Likert scale tool with 30 items and four subscales; physical environment, patient’s comfort and student attitude, teaching session and teaching fellow was filled by 242 students. Mean score for each question and each subscale was calculated for each institute for perceptions. Mean score of two public and two private institutes for each subscale was compared by unpaired t-test. Results: Physical environment mean score was highest at Khyber Girls Medical College Peshawar (2.97±0.50). Patients’ comfort and students’ attitude mean score was approximately equal in four institutes. In teaching session, the highest mean score was reported by Khyber Girls Medical College and was lowest by Khyber Medical College. For teaching fellow, mean score was highest at Khyber Girls Medical College (3.70±0.67) and lowest at Kabir Medical College (2.85±0.55). For physical environment (public 2.87±0.48 vs. private 2.59±0.60) and teaching fellow scale (public 2.87±0.48 vs. private2.59±0.60) there was highly significant difference (p=0.0001). Conclusion: Mean score in four subscales are comparable in four institutes with some variation but there are significant differences between public and private institutes in physical environment and teaching fellow subscales. There are some consistencies and conflicts with regional and international literature. This needs in-depth qualitative exploration.
