Full Description
Knowledge exchange is a unique cultural and cognitive ability of humans, enabling cooperative action, expanding knowledge through shared experience. Andreas Rupp takes us through the basics of communication and provides examples for educators of effective lecturing skills and interactive approaches to help students better absorb, process, and retain information.
Effective Lecturing discusses methods such as small group work, the case study method, and controlled group discussions as ways to make lectures interactive and thus improve motivation and retention performance.
Finally, the author presents his "Interactive and adaptive teaching of subject content" training program, which combines teaching and learning methods to consider and mitigate for the myriad and varied abilities and skill levels of learners across our classrooms and lecture halls.
