Is the lecture an outmoded teaching method that inhibits active
learning or is it a potentially powerful tool that is an essential
part of every teacheraEURO (TM)s repertoire? This book presents
up-to-date research on the different types of lecture, on what
constitutes effective lecturing, and on the impact of lecturing
when done appropriately and well. It fills the void in professional
development resources on how to lecture, validating the practice
when itaEURO (TM)s aligned with the educational mission of creating
engaged learning environments. Christine Harrington and Todd
Zakrajsek demonstrate that, rather than lecture and active learning
being mutually exclusive or either-or propositions, the
effectiveness of the former can be greatly enhanced when combined
with active learning techniques through what they define as dynamic
lecturing; and provide context about the need to balance these
approaches to meet the needs of students as they progress from
novice to advanced learners. They present a range of strategies
that enhance student learning during lectures. They open each
chapter with the evidence behind each lecturing strategy they
describe, and conclude with practical suggestions for quick
application in the classroom. They offer readers the lecture
planning and evaluation tools for reworking their lectures in ways
that provide high-level engagement and achievement for their
students. The opening section of the book explores the benefits of
lecturing and describes the different modalities of lecture, with
an assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of each. The
second section focuses on educational strategies to enhance the
lecture, including, among others, activating prior knowledge,
emphasizing important points, effectively using multi-media, making
concepts meaningful via examples, and the importance of retrieval
practice. Each covers the underlying theory and research, and
advice on how to align the engagement techniques with instructional
goals. The book concludes with guidance on effective planning for
lecturing and helping chairs, administrators, or peers engage in
effective evaluation of the lecture. This is a dynamic resource for
all faculty interested in revitalizing their teaching. The
strategies are succinct, easy to incorporate into lectures and,
done well, will have immediate impact and increase student mastery
of course content.
