Instructional Strategy: Lecture

Blooms Levels= 1-2 without activity (knowledge, comprehension)

  3-4 with activity (application, analysis)

• Stimulate reflection
• Challenge the imagination
• Develop curiosity and sense of inquiry
• Push content
• Introduce topic/content, followed by a discussion to support the concepts covered in the lecture
• Lecture method should include the types of experiences students will be afforded and the kinds of learning outcomes expected
• Teacher-centered (unless activity is involved)
• Incorporating an activity can help to enforce learning as the attention span of students may be limited
• Lecture should not repeat the textbook but should provide additional information and examples
• Provides the instructor the opportunity to apply the concepts from the book and course to real-world experiences
