Lecture Method

Lecture is the most common method of teaching

Lecturing delivers “concepts”It delivers a lot of information

in a short amount of timeConveys information that is

difficult to present in another way

Involves facilitator and learnersThis method encourages and expects learners to

participateUses questions to stimulate discussion,

emphasizes the value of answers

Start with clear learning objectives/outcomesHelps you plan session and helps participants by

providing clear view of the session’s direction

Follow an outline and provide copies to

participantsPeriodically refer to the learning outcomes during the

session to remind everyone where you are and prevent people from getting lost

Research shows people will:

Listen for only 15-20 minutes without a break

Learn more when given an opportunity to process what they are learning

Retain more if they review or use the information immediately after learning it

Content needs to be designed keeping in mind the Types of Learning Styles:

VAK

"Show me and I'll understand." Visual learners benefit from diagrams, charts, pictures, films, and written directions. These students will value to-do lists, assignment logs, and written notes.

Auditory learners tend to benefit most from traditional teaching techniques. Auditory learners succeed when directions are read aloud, speeches are required, or information is presented and requested verbally.

Kinesthetic means: touching, feeling, experiencing the material at hand. Kinesthetic learners are most successful when totally engaged with the learning activity. They acquire information faster when participating in games, activities, presentation, skit, field trip, or other active activity.

Must Core of what you have to say and it has first call on the time available.

Should Important but secondary. Some can be left out.

Might More peripheral material. Can be left out.

LowestLowest retention value of all teaching techniques

Make more interactive by involving the group by frequently stopping and asking questions

Strive for a “30% / 70% split– 30% lecture/ 70% active discussion– This won’t always be possible

In a lecture your learners are passiveDoesn’t guarantee understandingEasily bores the audience unless well

prepared

Participants like to be actively involved Participants want to share knowledge and ideasYou don’t have to be an expert and answer all

questions, because learners can address questions as well

Keeps group’s attentive and involved

Pose a question or problem. This should require participant to explain a concept in their own

words or to apply, synthesize, or evaluate what they’ve learned.

Give participants one minute to THINK about their answers individually.

Have them PAIR with a partner to compare answers.

Ask them to SHARE their responses with the class.

Telling is not teaching, nor is listening learning.

You must engage participants in learning activities that lead to a higher level of understanding and result in the participant's ability to apply what he learned on the job.

Interactive teaching is a two-way process of active participant engagement with each other, the facilitator, and the content.

Keep in mind, however, that interactivity is a means to a greater end – participant learning. The most effective learning involves leading participants to a point of reflection on contentWhat does this mean to me? How can I use this? Is this better than what I'm doing now? This reflection is the goal of interactivity.

Make three minutes summary of what you have learned – discuss with your colleague.
