Teaching is a multidimensional set of activities comprising a series of skills and characteristics. The teachers from different background may have different opinions regarding effective teaching. Their opinion will help in improving the teaching methodology and fulfilling the student`s needs. The aim of the study was to determine the perception of the teachers about the effective characteristic of teaching. A quantitative, cross sectional study was carried out at Khyber College of Dentistry (KCD) and Khyber Medical College (KMC), Peshawar. A questionnaire containing 35 characteristics for effective teaching were evaluated among teachers who were asked to prioritize ten most important characteristics in descending order. There were 70 teachers (31 basic teachers and 39 clinical teachers). The clinical teachers prioritized competent, qualified, clear, knowledgeable and confident for effective teaching, while the basic science teachers prioritized confident, competent, clear, knowledgeable and communicative. There were some differences in the attributes of effective teaching between teachers of basic and clinical sciences.
