Because of the importance and role of teachers in effective teaching, this study aimed to explore the views of faculty members about effective teaching. This qualitative study was done by using the conventional content analysis. In this study members of faculty of sciences at Fasa University of Medical Sciences were selected by purposive sampling and interviewed in a semi- structured and open method. Data saturation was reached after interviews with 9 participants. After data collection, recorded interviews were transcribed and reviewed. Data analysis was performed using conventional content analysis method. First primary codes were extracted and then same codes were categorized in a class together. Then basic classes of similar conceptual and semantic relationship were merged and eventually after frequent review of data, initial codes and classes, main themes were derived. By using of analyses of writings, four major themes which each had several sub- themes emerged. Main themes found in relation to effective teaching include teacher’s competence, openness in communication with students, professional ethics, and predisposing factors. Results of this study show that teacher with academic proficiency , being up to dated and clinically experienced , through openness and flexibility in relation to the learner and utilizing the content in a variety of teaching methods , considering learner’s rights can attract learner’s interest and attention for active learning.
