Peer reviewedShore, Bruce M.; And Others – Higher Education, 1990
Two surveys of faculty researchers contradict the belief that university research and teaching have a direct relationship with each other. The most common form of instruction was lecture, a method that does not directly involve the learner in the process of producing new knowledge. (MSE)

Peer reviewedde Neve, Hubert M. F. – Higher Education, 1991
A study investigated five university teachers' conceptualizations of actual and desired lecturing behavior and teaching situation and had teachers and students rate the semester's lecturing behavior. Results indicate the lecturer's interpretation of student ratings and ideas about lecturing are crucial to effective use of student ratings for…

Peer reviewedEllis, Lee; Mathis, Dan – Higher Education, 1985
In a controlled experiment, students in two sections of introductory sociology were exposed either to conventional classroom lectures or to identical lectures broadcast live in an adjacent room on a television monitor. Class attendance and learning under the two modes were statistically equivalent. The findings confirm those of past studies.…

Peer reviewedBrown, G. A.; Daines, J. M. – Higher Education, 1981
A random sample of 93 lecturers responded to a questionnaire based on research on explaining. Findings indicate that their views on the learnability of various features of explaining are not related to their years of experience of lecturing, and there are significant differences between arts-based and science lecturers. (Author/MLW)

The reduction of lecture time and its replacement with small group sessions in an undergraduate political theory course is described and possible problems associated with this kind of instructional change are discussed. (MSE)

A random sample of 268 lectures given in 55 agricultural colleges in the United Kingdom were analyzed by the lecturers for the sources of new information used in them. Fourteen sources were identified and are analyzed for patterns of use in six subject areas. (MSE)

Peer reviewedDe Neve, Hubert M. F.; Janssen, Piet J. – Higher Education, 1982
A new questionnaire entitled "Evalec" (for evaluating faculty lecturing) incorporates principles of both the appropriate teaching-learning model and the students' more subjective dimension. This allows for transformation of student perceptions into constructive advice to the teacher. (MSE)

Peer reviewedSaroyan, Alenoush; Snell, Linda S. – Higher Education, 1997
Three types of higher education lecturing styles are described and their differences are discussed in the context of current conceptions of teaching and pedagogical principles. The three lectures are subsequently characterized as content-driven, context-driven, and pedagogy-driven. Evaluation data suggest that the more pedagogically oriented the…

Peer reviewedTan, C. M. – Higher Education, 1992
A study of 30 first-year medical students in a physiology course found that frequent evaluation had a profound negative effect on learning, with students adopting a surface reproductive approach geared to passing exams rather than integrating knowledge. Lectures and curriculum organization failed to affect student use and structure of knowledge.…

Peer reviewedHambleton, Ian R.; Foster, William H.; Richardson, John T. E. – Higher Education, 1998
College mathematics and computer science students in two math courses (conventional lecture-based, and a multimedia variant of the Personalized System of Instruction) completed the Approaches to Studying Inventory. Students in the latter course obtained higher scores on meaning orientation. The effect was significant in computer-science students,…

Peer reviewedHusbands, Christopher T. – Higher Education, 1997
London School of Economics and Political Science (England) course evaluations were used to examine whether teachers assessed differently across courses have distinguishing characteristics, and whether courses assessed especially discrepantly for one teacher have distinguishing features. Results show course-level characteristics (class size, number…
