Lectures are only one educational process:
teacher transmits information do not encourage dialogue, for example
or encourage student reflection ‘inspirational’ effects are rare and short-

getting information and making sense of it

lectures are no more economical than other methods in transmitting information to large numbers
they are efficient, but less so than reading they will ‘cover the ground’ by the teacher,
but not by the student learning students are passive and dependent,
promoting a surface approach to learning
not effective for deep learning outcomesneeding activity, responsibility, interaction
