ENGLISH SUMMARY: The dental students at Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University (SMU) are expected to acquire clinical skills to deliver proper oral healthcare to patients. They are expected to apply the psychomotor skills that are necessary for all dental practitioners. Various teaching strategies are used by different lecturers to teach the undergraduate students. The teaching strategy of the department needs to be reviewed by obtaining feedback from students. The evaluation of teaching and learning strategies by students is an important part of higher education and it can be used to improve teaching and learning. The class of Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) students (5th years) at SMU were asked to participate in the study since they were recipients of teaching and learning in the department of Prosthetic Dentistry from their second year of study. Therefore, they could provide valuable feedback. About eight students were randomly selected as participants in the study. This is in line with the proportional random sampling process, which ensured equal gender distribution in the study population. Ethical clearance was obtained from both Stellenbosch University and SMU. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight students in the BDS 5th-year class. Open-ended questions were used to enable the participants to elaborate more about the teaching strategies. The data captured in this study were analysed by means of a six-phase approach to thematic analysis. The participants’ responses to teaching strategies revealed that students perceived that in preclinical teaching different teaching strategies were used. However, a few participants perceived some of these strategies were not effective. The recommended methods of teaching were those that promoted student participation. The study has demonstrated that lecturers in the department of Prosthetic Dentistry use a lot of didactic teaching and they seldom use other methods of teaching. This may be due to lack of knowledge about the other teaching strategies that can be used in health professions education. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die tandheelkundige studente aan die Sefako Makgatho Gesondheidswetenskappe Universiteit (SMU) het verwag om kliniese vaardighede aan te leer om behoorlike mondgesondheidsorg aan pasiente te lewer. Daar word van hulle verwag om die psigomotoriese vaardighede toe te pas wat nodig is vir alle tandheelkundige praktisyns. Verskeie onderrigstrategiee word deur verskillende dosente gebruik om die voorgraadse studente te onderrig. Die onderrigstrategie van die departement moet hersien word deur terugvoer van studente te verkry. Die evaluering van onderrig- en leerstrategiee deur studente is 'n belangrike deel van hoer onderwys en dit kan gebruik word om onderrig en leer te verbeter. Die studente (5de jaar) in die Baccalaureus vir Tandheelkunde (BDS) by SMU is gevra om aan die studie deel te neem aangesien hulle vanaf hul tweede studiejaar ontvangers was van onderrig en leer in die departement Prostetiese Tandheelkunde. Dus kon hulle waardevolle terugvoer gee. Ongeveer agt studente is ewekansig as deelnemers aan die studie gekies. Dit is in ooreenstemming met die proporsionele ewekansige steekproefproses, wat gelyke geslagsverspreiding in die studiepopulasie verseker het. Etiese klaring is verkry van beide die Universiteit van Stellenbosch en SMU. Semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude is met agt studente in die BDS 5de-jaarklas gevoer. Oop-einde vrae is gebruik om die deelnemers in staat te stel om meer oor die onderrigstrategiee uit te brei. Die data wat in hierdie studie versamel is, is ontleed deur middel van ʼn ses-fase benadering tot tematiese analise. Die deelnemers se reaksies op onderrigstrategiee het aan die lig gebring dat studente besef het dat in prekliniese onderrig verskillende onderrigstrategiee gebruik is. ʼn Klompie deelnemers het egter gesien dat sommige van hierdie strategiee nie effektief was nie. Die aanbevole onderrigmetodes was die wat studentedeelname bevorder het. Die studie het getoon dat personeellede in die departement Prostetiese Tandheelkunde baie didaktiese onderrig gebruik en dat hulle selde ander metodes van onderrig gebruik. Dit kan wees as gevolg van ʼn gebrek aan kennis oor die ander onderrigstrategiee wat in gesondheidsberoepe-onderwys gebruik kan word.
