Merits of Lecture Method Cheap and easy to use anywhere More coverage in short time Effective method when theories, concepts and principles are to be deliver Large number of people can be trained at a time Lecture is a safe method of training BKB/NASC/2018
Limitations of Lecture Method • Often one way communication • Learners are passive • It violates the principle of ‘learning by doing’ ( you cannot impart skills by using lecture method ) • Mere lecture can not hold participants’ attention for long time {Renner(1993), recommends that lecture should last no longer than 60 minutes without giving any energizer or a break} BKB/NASC/2018
Questioning Techniques One of the most effective techniques a trainer can use during a lecture to help ensure interaction is to ask and encourage questions. • Ask questions for entire group (but, be aware about the assertive participants). • Target a question to a specific participant. • Use participants’ names when asking and answering questions – this recognition is a powerful motivator. BKB/NASC/2018
Contd… Questioning Tec. • Provide positive reinforcement when participants respond. • Repeat participants’ questions and answer to ensure that all participants hear the discussion. • When a participant asks a question, the trainer can answer the question directly, respond by asking the participant a different related question or offer the question to the other participants. BKB/NASC/2018
Handling Questions • Listen attentively • Understand yourself • Identify the needs (analyze what they really wants to know) • Compliment for question • Avoid debates, and • Don’t say “sorry, I don’t know the answer to that” instead you can say, I don’t know but I will find out and get back to you later.” BKB/NASC/2018
Tips for Effective Lecture • The first few minutes of a lecture are important. Plan them well ! • Verbal communication skills are critical. These includes appropriate voice projection, using participants’ names, using examples and providing praise. • Non-verbal communication skills also are very important. These includes eye contact, positive facial expressions, gestures, postures and movement BKB/NASC/2018
Tips contd……… • Effective questioning and interaction are critical to the success of the lecture. Questioning skills include planning question in advance, asking a variety of questions, using participants’ name and providing positive feedback. • The lecture should be summarized by asking for questions, asking questions and using media to review main points.
