Aim and Objectives: To analyze the perception of students regarding active learning methodologies (Case-based learning (CBL) /group seminars/role play/teaching using flash cards & interactive CD-ROMs) in basic science courses in Medical and Health University. Results: A survey based studied was done in medical and health sconces university in UAE involving medical, dental, nursing and pharmacy students.60 % of the students in all University felt that the didactic lectures are their preferred methodology to learn.30% of the students stated that they like the best teaching methodology to be the ‘Case based learning’.
