LECTURE METHOD.

Objectives
By the end of the lesson the learner should be able to:
 Define lecture and lecture method
 Know how to prepare a lecture
 Know the materials needed in a lecture
 Outline the advantages and disadvantages of lecture method.
Definitions

 Lecture- according to Aristotle (349 BC) is a systematic presentation of knowledge.

 Lecture method is an approach of teaching where a lecturer delivers information to a
group of students in a structured manner.
 This mostly involves one way flow of information where the lecturer is the key person in
delivering information.
Preparation of a lecture

Steps.
1. DEFINE THE LEARNING OBJECTIVES
 Start by clarifying the purpose of your lecture. What do you want your audience to learn
or take away from it?
 Define clear objectives to guide your content creation process.
2.Organize the content in subtopics

 Create an outline: Develop an outline that outlines the main points and sub-points you'll
cover in your lecture.
 This will provide structure and help you organize your thoughts logically.
 Consider using a clear and coherent flow, starting with an introduction, moving through the
main content, and concluding with a summary or key takeaways.
3.Gather materials

 Research and gather information: Conduct thorough research on the topic you'll be
discussing.
 Utilize reputable sources such as books, scholarly articles, and credible websites to gather
accurate and up-to-date information.
 Take notes and organize your research material for easy reference. Make Visual aids such
slides, diagrams, or handouts which can enhance the learning experience and make your
lecture more engaging.
 Create visually appealing and concise slides that complement your speech rather than
duplicating it. Use graphs, images, and bullet points to convey key information effectively.
Cont.…

 Think about the logistics of delivering your lecture, such as the venue, equipment required,
and any technical considerations.
 Make sure you have everything you need, such as a projector, microphone, or whiteboard.
 Test them before your lecture.
4.Plan for techniques of delivering the
information
 Practice and time your lecture: Rehearse your lecture multiple times to become familiar
with the content and ensure smooth delivery.
 Pay attention to your pacing and timing to ensure that you stay within the allocated time
frame.
 Practice using your visual aids and interactive elements to ensure they work seamlessly.
5.Incoporate interactive elements

 Add interactive elements: To keep your audience engaged, incorporate interactive elements
throughout your lecture.
 This could include asking questions, encouraging discussions, conducting polls or surveys,
or incorporating group activities or exercises.
MATERIALS NEEDED

 Books
 Journals
 Articles
 Printed materials – handouts
 White board
 Laptop
 Projector
Advantages of lecture method

 Efficient delivery of information: Lectures allow instructors to deliver a large amount of

information to a large group of students in a relatively efficient manner. It provides a
platform for instructors to share their expertise and knowledge on a particular topic.
 Expertise and experience sharing: Lectures provide an opportunity for experienced
professionals or subject matter experts to share their insights, experiences, and expertise
with students. They can provide valuable real-world examples, case studies, and
perspectives that enhance the learning experience.
Cont..

 Consistency and uniformity: Lectures provide a consistent and uniform learning

experience for all students in a class. This eliminate disparities that may arise from other
teaching methods.
 Time management: Lectures allow instructors to manage their time effectively. They can
cover a wide range of topics within a specified time frame.
 Clarification of complex concepts: Lectures allow instructors to explain complex concepts,
theories, or principles in a systematic and detailed manner.
Cont.…

 Large-group instruction: The lecture method is particularly useful for large classes or
lectures where it may be impractical to engage in extensive individual or small-group
interactions. It allows a single instructor to reach a large number of students
simultaneously.
 Structured content delivery: Lectures typically follow a well-structured outline or
syllabus, ensuring that all important topics and concepts are covered. This helps students
understand the sequence and organization of the content.
Disadvantages

 Passive learning. This can limit their critical thinking skills, creativity, and problem-
solving abilities,
 Limited student engagement
 Information overload
 Limited feedback and assessment
 Potential for boredom
 Unequal participation
