Lecture-Discussion
Lecture-discussion is perhaps the most widely
used instructional strategy across all grade levels
and subjects areas. Also called teacher-led
discussion or classroom discussion, it is a strategy
under the direct instruction model which promotes
interaction between teacher and students through
explicit instruction combined with different levels
of questioning.
This strategy is preferred by many teachers to veer away from the
negative connotations of a lecture and recitation
First, it is easy to implement and can be applied in almost all content areas
in social studies. Its greatest strength lies in its efficiency in imparting
information since teachers transfer the same amount of knowledge to all
students in the classroom within a short period of time.
Also, the structured content and the allotted time for comprehension
monitoring aids in mastery of learning which can, in turn, improve student
achievement.
