Han kommer att tala om Why are we still lecturing? – A perspective on the advantages of an undervalued form of learning.

Abstract: Regardless of which textbook on higher education we consult, we are told lecturing is an outdated, problem-ridden form of teaching. Obviously, the pitfalls are many. For example, lectures tend to contain segments that are longer than the effective attention span of the student and lectures risk putting students in a passive state that does not promote deep learning. Despite this, lectures are the most common teacher-led teaching and learning activity for most students. It has sometimes been argued that this is simply due to the inability of us university teachers to adjust to “better” forms of teaching. Alternatively, some argue that budget constraints are the reason we keep lecturing. In this contribution I will – based on lessons learned from good examples – argue that lectures are undervalued, and that the right type of lectures can be highly effective. I will also discuss some empirical data from a large Lund-dataset that partly supports (and partly refutes) my suggestion above.
