Disadvantages of the Lecture Method

- By nature, the lecture method lends itself to the teaching of facts with little emphasis placed on problem-solving decision making, analytical thinking, and transfer of learning.
- Not conducive to meeting students’ individual learning needs since it is limited only to a single approach of delivering the topic.
- Allows limited attention span on the part of the learner
the most traditional method associated with teaching in which the teacher simply conveys the knowledge to the students in a one-way channel of communication
