Lecture Method

The lecture method is a teacher-controlled and information-centered approach commonly used in education, where the teacher is the sole source of information and students are passive listeners. It serves four basic purposes: to motivate, clarify, review, and expand knowledge, but has both advantages, such as efficiency and ease of delivery, and disadvantages, including lack of student participation and potential for misunderstanding. Effective planning and evaluation of lectures are crucial for maximizing their impact, while recognizing the limitations of this teaching method.
