...1. Record. During the lecture, record in the main column as many meaningful facts and ideas as you can. Write legibly. 2. Reduce. As soon after as possible, summarize these ideas and facts concisely in the Recall Column. Summarizing clarifies meanings and relationships, reinforces continuity, and strengthens memory. Also, it is a way of preparing for examinations gradually and well ahead of time. 3. Recite. Now cover the column, using only your jottings in the Recall Column as cues or "flags" to help you recall, say over facts and ideas of the lecture as fully as you can, not mechanically, but in your own words and with as much appreciation of the meaning as you can. Then, uncovering your notes, verify what you have said. This procedure helps to transfer the facts and ideas of your long term memory. 4. Reflect. Reflective students distill their opinions from their notes. They make such opinions the starting point for their own musings upon the subjects they are studying. Such musings aid them in making sense out of their courses and academic experiences by finding relationships among them. Reflective students continually label and index their experiences and ideas, put them into structures, outlines, summaries, and frames of reference. They rearrange and file them. Best of all, they have an eye for the vital-for the essential. Unless ideas are placed in categories, unless they are taken up from time to time for re-examination, they will become inert and soon forgotten...

...What is the lecture method of teaching? In: Educational Methods and Theories, Learning Theories, General Educational Development (GED) [Edit categories] Answer: It is the practice of having the teacher, or lecturer, at the front of the classroom talking to students. This is seen as one-way communication, since the lecturer is the only one speaking. An effective use of this is a short talk to provide students with the background information they need to do the work. What are the steps in lecture method? In: Uncategorized [Edit categories] Answer: student analysis lesson planning formulation of the lesson guide prepration for presenting the lecture presentation of the lecture testing follow-up What is lecture method? In: Learning Theories [Edit categories] Answer: The lecture method is a teaching method, in fact the teaching method most often found in universities today. It bases itself upon the transmissive teaching model, in brief terms that knowledge is an object that can be transferred from the teacher to the learner. Practically it implies a lecturer holding a lecture for a group of people. A strength is that it is possible to educate large number of people at once, thereby lowering costs. A limitation is that it yields less deep knowledge compared to other teaching methods such as case-based learning. (Chaplin 2009, White et al. 2009, Grunwald & Hartman 2010).

...The Use of Guided Notes for Active Engagement during Teacher-Directed Lectures By Anna Jessica B. Pantujan Holy Cross of Davao College, Sta. Ana Ave., Davao City Introduction It has been said that students learn by doing. It follows that if one increases the doing, the result is an increase in learning (Blackwell & McLaughlin, 2005). Research indicates that student achievement improves when teachers provide opportunities for active engagement (Konrad, Joseph & Eveleigh, 2009). The major educational goals of student understanding of content and application of skills are commonly pursued via lecture in classroom settings. Students are held accountable for obtaining information from the lectures, and performance is evaluated on class exams and quizzes. Therefore, students should take thorough notes during lectures so they can refer to the content at a later time (Boyle, 2001). Marzano, Pickering and Pollock (2001) identify note taking as one of the research based strategies for increasing student achievement. Despite the importance of this behavior, however, students are often poor note takers (Austin, Lee & Carr, 2004). Since note-taking can be a difficult task for some students, the use of guided notes can give students a standard set of notes for future references (e.g., tests and quizzes) as well as eliminate the possible frustration, lack of motivation, and off-task behaviors that may exist due to poor note-taking skills (Anderson, Yilmaz &...
