Pros and Cons of Traditional Lecture• Students are used to this
type of instruction• Teachers are used to
teaching using this style• Teachers have more control
over the classroom• Easiest “lesson” to create• New teachers teach the way
they are taught and observe- through lecture
• Not all students learn the same (Garner’s Multiple Intelligence)
• Traditional lecture does not leave room for “deviation”
• Students are often bored by lectures
• Difficult for teachers to assess learning
