Lecture Method
Derived from Greek word lectura(to read) Most traditional method of teaching Simple conveying of knowledge in one-way channel of communication Introduce new topics Clarify difficult concepts Integrate and synthesize a large body of knowledge

Advantages of Lecture Method

Specific period of time-uniformity of knowledge Economical and cost effective Develop students listening abilities Effective method to impart knowledge in the lower level of Cognitive Domain
10

Disadvantage
Few teachers are good leturers Lends it to teaching facts Not conducive in meeting students learning needs (passive role) Allows limited attention span (learner)

Discussion
Imparts lesson through interaction (teacherstudent/ student-student) Opportunity to share insights or understanding of the topic Apply principles, concepts of previously introduced body of knowledge and clarify it, Advanced announcement of topics or watching a videotape,etc.

Advantages of Discussion Method

Learn the process of group problem solving. Develop and evaluate students beliefs and positions Foster attitude change through understanding, allow freedom to assert their opinions or views Many students like and prefer this to other methods
