Abstract：
AIM:To evaluate a simulation laboratory course that used student-centred small-group problem-orientated discussion activities as the main medium of instruction. METHODS:A structured questionnaire using a six-point Likert scale with 30 statements relating to a fixed prosthodontics course was distributed to 4th-year and 5th-year students who had completed the course. RESULTS:A 93% response rate was achieved for both years with a mean score for the 4th-year being 94.2 (+/- 13.7) and the 5th-year 107.5 (+/-16.9). The differences between the scores of both years are highly significant (P = 0.0006) indicating that the 5th-year were more favourable about the course and learning approach used. Consistency and reliability of the questionnaire was judged reliable according to Cronbach's alpha (4th-year = 0.7, 5th-year = 0.83). Many aspects of the small-group student-centred activities were highly valued by students however, students expressed a preference for learning and interacting with teachers than colleagues. CONCLUSION:Small-group student-centred learning activities were reported as creating an active, safe learning environment with beneficial opportunities for peer-peer interaction such as questioning, teaching and learning from students. However, students expressed a preference for teacher-centred information dissemination and activities. An understanding of the rationale of student dependence to teacher-centred learning may allow improved modifications in a student-centred learning environment.
