18. What are the problems of didactic
lectures?
3/26/2019 18
Dr.Arindam Ghosh, Associate
Professor, Biochemistry, IQ City MC.
19. Problems of a didactic lecture….
Learners are passive
No feedback
Students' attention wanes quickly
Boring unless well prepared
3/26/2019 19
Dr.Arindam Ghosh, Associate
Professor, Biochemistry, IQ City MC.
20. Information forgotten quickly
Presumes that all students learn at same pace
No modification of attitudes
Not suited for higher orders of thinking & motor
skills
3/26/2019 20
Dr.Arindam Ghosh, Associate
Professor, Biochemistry, IQ City MC.
21. Research shows…..
People :
Listen for only 15 - 20 minutes without break
Learn more when given opportunity to process
Retain more if use information immediately
after learning
3/26/2019 21
Dr.Arindam Ghosh, Associate
Professor, Biochemistry, IQ City MC.
24. Need is … to increase participation
Make students more interactive
Strive for a “30% / 70%” split
30% lecture/ 70% active discussion
Will it be possible always ?
3/26/2019 24
Dr.Arindam Ghosh, Associate
Professor, Biochemistry, IQ City MC.
26. Putting questions to the
audience:
‘are there any questions?’
Silence
3/26/2019 26
Dr.Arindam Ghosh, Associate
Professor, Biochemistry, IQ City MC.
27. Questions can stimulate interest
Arouse attention in students
Teacher’s way should be non-threaten
He or she should wait for a response of the
student
3/26/2019 27
Dr.Arindam Ghosh, Associate
Professor, Biochemistry, IQ City MC.
28. Write a question on paper and turn it in, you
can then address some or all of these in a
relatively anonymous and non threatening
way
3/26/2019 28
Dr.Arindam Ghosh, Associate
Professor, Biochemistry, IQ City MC.
29. Interactive lecture requires….
Teacher Facilitator who has to
modify lecture content to:
allow discussion
make change of pace
receive and solve students’ queries
capable for above without loss of flow or
content
3/26/2019 29
Dr.Arindam Ghosh, Associate
Professor, Biochemistry, IQ City MC.
30. Interactive teaching is suitable for …..
a) Large class
b) Small class
c) Both
3/26/2019 30
Dr.Arindam Ghosh, Associate
Professor, Biochemistry, IQ City MC.
31. Please remember….
number of students in class does not
determine application of interactive lecture
very small groups can be non-interactive,
and
interactive techniques can be applied in
large class
3/26/2019 31
Dr.Arindam Ghosh, Associate
Professor, Biochemistry, IQ City MC.
32. Benefits of interactive teaching and
learning:
1) Active Involvement
2) Increased attention and motivation
3) Higher Level of thinking
3/26/2019 32
Dr.Arindam Ghosh, Associate
Professor, Biochemistry, IQ City MC.
34. Media for large group:
Computer presentation systems e.g.
PowerPoint
Handouts
‘Blackboards’ / Greenboards / Whiteboards
Overhead projector
35-mm slide projector
Interactive board
Videos (short segments) 3/26/2019 34
Dr.Arindam Ghosh, Associate
Professor, Biochemistry, IQ City MC.
35. PowerPoint presentation:
Select Colours that Have High Contrast. ...
Pick Fonts that are Large Enough. ...
Use Bullet Points. ...
1-6-6 Rule: 1 slide - one main idea
Six bullet points
Six words per bullet
3/26/2019 35
Dr.Arindam Ghosh, Associate
Professor, Biochemistry, IQ City MC.
36. Handouts:
Written material
Students participate more in thinking about
the concepts
Rather than writing down every word of the
lecture
3/26/2019 36
Dr.Arindam Ghosh, Associate
Professor, Biochemistry, IQ City MC.
37. Audio Visual Aids:
Flip charts and white boards allow for the creation
of diagram which is very helpful in medical
science.
Multimedia and computer assisted learning also
promotes interaction.
3/26/2019 37
Dr.Arindam Ghosh, Associate
Professor, Biochemistry, IQ City MC.
38. Brain Storming:
Invites answers to a question or problem from
the audience and writes them, without comment
Answers are used for the next part of the lecture
or to give students an idea of where they are
before they move on
By writing answers, allow the students to learn
from each other 3/26/2019 38
Dr.Arindam Ghosh, Associate
Professor, Biochemistry, IQ City MC.
39. Quizzes and Short Answers:
Quizzes or short answers can be used at
the beginning
or
End of a class to provide a "check-up" on
learning to summarize the information
3/26/2019 39
Dr.Arindam Ghosh, Associate
Professor, Biochemistry, IQ City MC.
40. Computer Aided Teaching:
Interactive teaching in a large group
can be done with the help of computers.
An alternative approach is the use of
flash cards.
3/26/2019 40
Dr.Arindam Ghosh, Associate
Professor, Biochemistry, IQ City MC.
41. Clinical Case Discussion:
This is a very common method used by
medical teachers.
Increases interest and promotes problem
solving.
3/26/2019 41
Dr.Arindam Ghosh, Associate
Professor, Biochemistry, IQ City MC.
42. Debates and Seminars:
Debates – students in two different sides of the
issue
Seminars – after completion of one topic.
Increased attention in students and thus
increasing inter activity
3/26/2019 42
Dr.Arindam Ghosh, Associate
Professor, Biochemistry, IQ City MC.

Useful as an ‘icebreaker’ when the group first
meets
Enhance listening skills
Used to discuss controversial or ethical
issues
Feedback

discussion formats
Groups are arranged around tables, with each
group in a horseshoe formation with the open
end facing the front
