Some subscribers to TIPS might be interested in an article "Curmudgeonly Comments Concomitant to Corrigan's 'To Lecture or Not to Lecture?' " [Hake (2014)]. The abstract reads:
******************************************************* Paul Corrigan has ably reviewed the contentious debate over lecturing. In the present article I borrow from and supplement Corrigan’s "Atlantic" article "To Lecture or Not to Lecture?" at <http://bit.ly/1cGQaKW> and his blog entry "Beyond the Lecturing Debate" at <http://bit.ly/1eKAR0A> so as to include discussion of the following: 1. Lecturing is prevalent but "active learning" is advised by researchers. 2. Nevertheless, some academics defend "lectures." 3. But such academics often advocate lecturing *along with* "active learning." 4. Corrigan distinguishes "lecturing" from "Lecturing." 5. Physics education research emphasizes *higher-level learning* and distinguishes "lecture" from *passive-student-lecture.* 6. Positive and negative depictions of the lecture. 7. Depictions of "active learning." 8. Literary and YouTube criticism of the passive-student-lecture. 9. Nine anti-passive-student-lecture articles. 10. Twelve pro-lecture articles or books. 11. Should One Lecture or Not Lecture? ****************************************************** To access the complete 2.9 MB article please click on <http://bit.ly/1nA6z5e>.

"People have nowadays . . . got a strange opinion that everything should be taught by lectures. Now, I cannot see that lectures can do so much good as reading the books from which the lectures are taken. Lectures were once useful; but now, when we can all read, and books are so numerous, lectures are unnecessary." - Samuel Johnson <http://bit.ly/17PdW5Y>, via James Boswell (1791) at <http://bit.ly/qfDXPz>.
