Introduction One of the common teaching methods in dental schools is teaching a course by several professors, which has strengths and weaknesses. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the views of students and professors of Alborz Dental School regarding this teaching method in 2020.
Materials and Methods: This Analytical descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among students and professors of Alborz Dental School. Using the sample size formula to estimate a ratio in the population and considering the value of P = 0.51, q = 0.49 and accuracy of 0.05, the sample size of 385 people was calculated and 398 students were included in the study. Data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistical indicators such as independent t-test in SPSS software version 25.
Results: The opinion of professors and students was that teaching by several professors from one or more specialized disciplines significantly makes the curriculum attractive and diversifies and improves the quality of education (p <0.05). In contrast, this teaching method causes an unnecessary increase in volume. They knew the curriculum (p <0.05). Unlike students, professors disagreed on some of the positive and negative consequences of teaching by several professors from one specialized field to several specialized fields.
Conclusion: Teaching by several professors, both from the students 'point of view and from the professors' point of view, significantly increases the diversity and attractiveness of the curriculum and in contrast increases the volume of the curriculum sessions.
