What are the disadvantages of lecture method of teaching?

What are the disadvantages of lecture method of teaching?

Answers

Elton
Lectures fail to provide instructors with feedback about the extent of student learning.

In lectures students are often passive because there is no mechanism to ensure that they are intellectually engaged with the material.

Students' attention wanes quickly after fifteen to twenty-five minutes.

Information tends to be forgotten quickly when students are passive.

Lectures presume that all students learn at the same pace and are at the same level of understanding.

Lectures are not suited for teaching higher orders of thinking such as application, analysis, synthesis, or evaluation; for teaching motor skills, or for influencing attitudes or values.

Lectures are not well suited for teaching complex, abstract material.

Lectures requires effective speakers.

Lectures emphasize learning by listening, which is a disadvantage for students who have other learning styles.
