dc.description.abstractThis article focuses on educational research conducted at the newly merged UWC faculty of dentistry. The research emphasizes the change in teaching methods employed to address the concerns experienced in teaching large classes as observed in the prosthetic techniques module. These educational interventions were conducted over 5 years and the study design included the principles of action research. Students were assisted in learning the theory of the practical procedures and the subsequent completion of these procedures with the accurate application of the theoretical concepts. Changes in the teaching methods enhanced students learning and successful translation of the theory into practical work. The active learning exercises incorporated into the teaching further motivated and assisted students with deep learning. The debates indicated that students accepted and valued the module as part of their training.en_US
