Lecture-based instructional models have been the mainstay of education for centuries. They excel primarily at delivering information from the one to the many. Educators refer to this model as "the sage on the stage". Clearly there are educators who relish this role and are strongly opposed to moving away from it. Yet, educational research and new innovative technologies are suggesting that lect...

INTRODUCTION Debates about the quality of medical education have become more evident in the recent past, and as a result several different assessment methods have been refined for that purpose. The use of questionnaires filled out by medical students to assess the quality of lectures is one of the most common methods employed in our milieu. However, the reliability of this investigation method ...

The main result of this lecture is that NTIME(n) has algorithms which do not run in time n1.2 and use n0.2 space. We begin by reviewing some major open problems in complexity theory and describing how this result fits into those open problems. We define the classes in basic complexity theory and the Polynomial Hierarchy. Then we prove the main theorem by using 2 claims. The method we use is an ...

A lecture is not necessarily a monologue, promoting only passive learning. If appropriate techniques are used, a lecture can stimulate active learning too. One such method is demonstration, which can engage learners' attention and increase the interaction between the lecturer and the learners. This article describes two simple and useful tools for demonstration during gross anatomy lectures. On...

introduction: the aim of this study was to compare the effects of lecture and teaching terminology methods on learning anatomy in radiology students. methods: fifty freshmen were randomly divided into two groups: control and experimental. the control group was taught through traditional method and the experimental group via teaching anatomy concepts and terminologies. students were evaluated th...

The aims of this study were to evaluate the quality of team-based learning (TBL) in prosthodontics education for fourth-year dental students at Tokushima University School of Dentistry and to compare this teaching method with traditional lecture-based delivery. Participants in the study were 36 students (22 males and 14 females) who attended the TBL-style fixed prosthodontics course. Ten 60-min...
