A health lecturer requires more than knowledge of the content of a particular subject to meet changing expectations. Students are specializing more and more in nursing, dentistry and medical procedures. Their numbers are increasing as well calling for new strategies. New delivery methods must make concepts easier to understand and implement in work places.
New curriculum designers are emphasizing an interactive model of learning. This is only possible with a smaller class which allows an interactive and enthusiastic learning environment. Some of the factors that have necessitated the change include introduction of laptops, tablet computers and PDAs in classes. The new models suggested are self-paced, interactive and customized.
Policy makers want a reduction in hours spent in class regurgitating notes. This is considered passive learning and must be replaced by active and participatory methods. These methods are more productive. Systematic phasing out has seen an end to traditional lecturing. It is worth noting that productivity or lack thereof of a lecture does not depend on numbers.
The gist of lecturing is not to plainly read notes to a listening audience. One may compare it to a dance which demands the participation of both the lecturer and the students. There is a mutual exchange of energy that is transmitted in a package of words, content and delivery. Each participant must inspire the other. It should be an interactive and transformative session for the lecturer and the student in their lives and careers.
The physical presence of a lecturer means more than the information that can be read out of a book or through online modules. Listening to a life and physical lecture should be more valuable in life and career of a student. The learner should feel more inspired and begin to create new imaginations. Concepts should be easier to understand than when they are read out of a book.
The purpose of a lecture is not only to deliver information. If this were the case, students can read books on their own or listen to an electronic copy. The heart and mind of the lecturer are at work and seek to find synchrony with the heart and mind of the learner. The enthusiasm displayed by lecturers is picked and exhibited by learners. A learner should be in a position to see his or her future through the lecture.
The result of a successful lecture should not be confined to passing examination, getting good grades and the resulting certificate. It should be the source of new connections, imaginations and questions in life. It should shape and make clearer the careers and lives of the students.
A story format is the best way to achieve success when lecturing. The concepts that form the story are a beginning, a body and a conclusion. The lecture begins by eliciting questions, suspense and curiosity in the student. The lecture then endeavors to find an answer or quell the curiosity.
A health lecturer will be successful if he or she is delighted and enthusiastic about the session. This feeling will be transferred to the learner and the session will fulfill their expectations. It is a productive session where a learner asks an unexpected question. The enthusiasm created makes the discipline infectious from lecturers to students and then to work places.
