Comparing Students’ and Experts’ Understanding of the Content of a Lecture

In spite of advances in physics pedagogy, the lecture is by far the most widely used format of instruction. We investigated students’ understanding and perceptions of the content delivered during a physics lecture. A group of experts (physics instructors) also participated in the study as a reference for the comparison. During the study, all participants responded to a written conceptual survey on sound propagation. Next, they looked for answers to the survey questions in a videotaped lecture by a nationally known teacher. As they viewed the lecture, they indicated instances, if any, in which the survey questions were answered during the lecture. They also wrote down (and if needed, later explained) the answer, which they perceived was given by the instructor in the video lecture. Students who participated in the study were enrolled in a conceptual physics course and had already covered the topic in class before the study. We discuss and compare students’ and experts’ responses to the survey questions before and after the lecture.

集合五官听讲座

目前在高等教育机构当中活跃着形式多样的讲座,许多院校的名家讲坛远近闻名,成为众多渴求知识之人争相追捧的学术盛会。讲座成为了学术交流与教学科研的重要载体,为院校营造良好的学术氛围起到了推动作用。它不同于传统的课堂教学模式,但拥有与课堂相似的教学价值。可是当听讲者忙碌地穿梭于各个讲座之间,自以为见识过一些名家风范,并利用在讲座中搜集到的一点点趣事向他人侃侃而谈的时候,讲座的教学用途却被深深遗忘了。面对时下唾手可得的大量讲座资源,作为听讲者如果能够把五官都运用到听讲座的整个过程当中,对提高讲座的学习效能将会有所帮助。

Experimental evidence of the relative effectiveness of problem-based learning for knowledge acquisition and retention

This study investigated the effects of problem-based learning (PBL) on knowledge acquisition and knowledge retention in a controlled experiment in a lab setting. Eighty-eight first-year psychology students were randomly assigned to either a PBL condition, a lecture condition, or a self-study condition. All participants had the opportunity to study the same text. Their knowledge acquisition was tested on both an immediate post-test and a delayed post-test, one week later. The results showed beneficial effects for the PBL group on the immediate and the delayed test compared to the lecture group. There were no differences between knowledge acquisition scores for the self-study condition and either of the other conditions. Moreover, no differences on knowledge retention were shown, because the decline in performance over time was equal in all conditions. In conclusion, the present study provides experimentally based evidence of the disadvantageous effects of instruction through lectures compared to PBL.
