Abstract

In the introduction to his paper the author points at the need for some revolutionary modifications to be brought to the organization and the realization of the teaching of dentistry in agreement with the general social and scientific development. Among these, the motivation of students during the teaching process is one of the essential elements. The author discusses the notion, and the psychological and didactic foundations which give to this activity the characteristics of a self-instructive process. He explains the roles of students and teachers in this process, as well as the role of the faculty facilities. He discusses some steps necessary for the coordination of the teaching programme and curriculum, and the problem of the professional knowledge and skills in relation to the general medical knowledge and principles. The author also analyses the characteristics required in an up-to-date dental educator and emphasizes the efforts which should be made to familiarize the students with the current research activity.
