(1) Lecture/Presentation Method:

This is usually called the Talk-chalk method as it


involves the teacher talking most of the time,
explaining a point, expressing an opinion or giving
learner new ideas and occasionally writing on the
white board; while learners merely listen and
sparingly jot down points.
It is a telling method that has dominated the
instructional scene (places) for many centuries
from now. Primarily, didactic presentation of
information, usually to a large group could often
make use of audiovisual aids to transmit
information sometimes.
Advantages
a) Lecture method is appropriate for a subject
curriculum implementation.
b) It can be an effective means of providing new
information and clarifying existing information to a
large heterogeneous group in a short period of time.
c) It is a very fast method, this enables the teacher
to cover the syllabus within the shortest time
frame.
d) It makes it relatively easy to handle large class
at a time.
e) It can be a good means to set the stage and lay
the necessary groundwork (base) and
parameters(factors that affect how teaching can
be done) for activity.
f) It may be recorded for future use.
Disadvantages
a) Lecture method is not learner centered, it is
teacher centered. The teacher talks and dictates
the pace (passage) of the instructional process.
b) It establishes a "tell me" mind-set in learners.
c) It may be presented at the teacher's level of
understanding rather than at the learner's.
d) It is text book oriented and promotes
examination malpractice as learners struggle to
give the teacher exactly what he gave them.
e) It offers limited opportunities for assessment
and feedback.
(2) Discussion Method:
This method is based upon active participation
of every member of the class in a collective
exploration and public evaluation of ideas.
Usually, there is no restraint (to stop) to self-
expression as member pool ideas in co-operative
task of understanding an issue and learning from
each other. Discussion could serve as a mid-
course examination of ideas or recapitulation
session.
Advantages
a) It is democratic, permissive and collaborative in
nature. Every member of the class/group is free to
express his or her views.
b) The group experience encourages social facilitations
resulting into positive interpersonal relationships.
c) It results into more accurate and
comprehensive Judgment/decision
d) It enhances the development of good oral
communication skill.
e) It enables learners to acquire critical and
evaluative thinking and listening skills and
affords them some sense of confidence through
active participation.
Disadvantages
a) It could be time consuming and not much
ground is covered within the limited time.
b) Autocratic group leader can lead the group
into accepting his personal view even when it
could lead to wrong conclusions.
