LECTURE

METHOD
definition
 “Lecture is a pedagogical method whereby the
teacher formally delivers a carefully planned
expository address on some particular topic or
problem’’.
 James and Michel Lee
2. A lecture is an oral presentation intended to present
information or teaches people about a particular
subject
Purposes
(reference from B. sankaranarayanan

 To provide structural knowledge:


  Providing structural knowledge by integrating
knowledge from different fields or sources. It is
difficult for the students to locate all sources of
knowledge. Through lecture it is easy for the
teacher to provide relevant knowledge by selecting
and organizing the content in a learner centred way.
 2. To motivate and guide in hunting
knowledge:  As teacher cannot satisfy the
knowledge requirement of students, he has to
explain the various sources of knowledge.
 This purpose underlines the importance of giving
references to students after completing a particular
topic. Teachers have to give main reference as well
as general reference
 3. To arouse students interest in a subject
  By following lecture method, teacher can orient
the students to a subject by explaining the need for
studying it, ways of learning and mode of writing
university examinations etc. once they understand
the need and ways of learning a particular subject,
they will motivated naturally
 Introduce students to new area of learner.
  Innovation are occurring on a regular basis in the
diagnosis treatment and nursing management of disease
conditions. These innovations have created new learning
areas and lecture method will help teacher to introduce
those area to students. For example, teacher has to give
brief lecture about the evolution of MRI scans, its merits
of it and patient care implications before taking the
students to the radiodiagnosis department for teaching
the functioning of the MRI machine and responsibilities
of nurse posted in the MRI rooms
 5.To clarify difficult concepts. Lecture is highly suitable for
clarifying the concepts. Teacher should use enough examples
and illustration to clarify the concepts by citing examples
from the day to day life of nurses or other health care
professionals.
 6. To assist in preparing students for a discussion. Before
discussion teacher have to provide a concrete idea regarding
the topic of a discussion.
 7.To provide critical thinking. Compare to other method
lectures usually give less emphasis to critical thinking.
Critical thinking can be encouraged through incorporating
challenging question throughout the lecture.
