English

Subject field(s)
  • Education Theory and Methods
DEF

An approach to instruction which relies solely or heavily on lectures to import information to learners.

CONT

The Lecture Method. The lecture is a very common method of instruction, in which the leader or instructor does all of the talking. Lecturing is a relatively inefficient way of instruction because it does not actively involve the members of the group.

CONT

... existing models of instructional design do not foster much creativity ..., resulting in lesson after lesson using much the same expository approach.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Théories et méthodes pédagogiques
DEF

Forme d'enseignement dans laquelle le professeur joue le rôle actif en vue de l'élaboration de la matière. Les élèves y étant passifs, le rendement en est douteux, surtout dans les classes inférieures. Cependant, une initiative importante du maître est difficilement remplaçable lors de la présentation de certains faits (par ex.: en physique, l'exposé de systèmes de conventions, des unités et des constantes).

CONT

[...] le fameux exposé ex cathedra [...] reste une technique d'enseignement valable à condition de ne plus jouir d'un quasi-monopole et de n'être pratiqué que là où il se justifie.
