Teaching methods and learning activities

In this unit, we develop a modern approach to teaching dentistry, replacing the traditional method centered on the teacher, for a teaching model focused on the student. The passive learning tends to be replaced by active learning in which the student takes on increasing responsibility. Teachers and students should feel mutually involved, working together, and developing the capacity for self-learning. Whenever possible, students discuss among themselves issues and later do it with teachers. Replace the simple acquisition of knowledge by a model based on problem-solving, stimulating early clinical and deductive reasoning.
