According to Stones and Morris ” Teaching strategy is a generalized plan for a lesson which includes structure, desired learner behavior in terms of goals and instructions and an outline of planned tactics necessary to implement a strategy”.

Key Points The lecture method plays important role in classroom teaching. This method is a teacher-centered method.

  1. When the number of students is large this method is used.
  2. In this method, students are only passive listeners.
  3. This method ignores learning by doing and does not impart problem-solving activities.
  4. It does not have reasoning power in students.
  5. This method is convenient for the teachers to give more information in a short span of time.
