Lecture and Lesson Plan

                       Dr.Indu.P.S                                    06.05.2009

      Associate Professor, Community Medicine

       In low resource settings like ours, lecture is much more than a mere teaching learning method. It is very economic in terms of using staff time since only one person is enough for 150 students, but it demands a greater skill on part of the lecturer. When the attention span of the  tired medical student, who comes to the afternoon theory class to listen to ‘lecture’, is just 4-6 minutes, it is a challenge for the teacher to retain the attention of 150 students for 50minutes and make the lecture interesting and informative(if not inspiring!).

Lecture

It is a careful presentation of facts with organised thoughts and ideas by a qualified person.

Planning the Lecture

1. Set the objectives-Be clear about the general and specific learning objectives.

2. Sequence of the lecture-Identify the main points that need to be stressed.

3. Organise the material

• Subdivide the lecture under headings.
• Select appropriate AV aids.
• Allow group discussion/buzz session to solve problems and to gain arousal feedback.

4. Delivery of the lecture:

• Begin by arousing interest.
• Present aims and objectives in the beginning.
• Recognise limitation of time; avoid too much material.
• Do not speak fast – 100 words per minute is ideal.
• Vary the pace and loudness to avoid monotony.
• Use illustrative anecdotes to teach abstract or complex ideas; aim at concept learning by all the students.
• Appear confident, look at the learners and establish non-verbal contact.
• Assess learner-response and react accordingly.
• Give 2 to 3 minute break between main parts.
• Present a summary at the end.

 

5. Evaluation of lecture effectiveness:

1. Student behaviour:

1. Attendance (percentage)
2. Note taking, listening and seeking clarifications.

b. Formal student evaluation.

c. Peer evaluation: Opinion of colleague(s) who sit with the students and assess the lecture.

Summary

“Tell them what you are going to say, then say it clearly and then tell them what you have said”

Lesson plan

A lesson is the part of a subject taught or studied at one time.

A lesson plan is a written account of educational objectives to be realised and specific means by which these are to be attained during a lesson.

EXAMPLE OF A LESSON PLAN

(knowledge)

Name of lecturer:      Date:

Class:5^th Sem MBBS           Time:60min                No. Of Students: 150        Subject: Community Medicine

Topic: Tuberculosis 

General Objective:  At the end of the session, the learner should be able to describe the epidemiology of tuberculosis and its control. 

Specific Learning Objectives

      At the end of the session, the learner should be able to:

1. Describe magnitude of TB burden-global and in India
2. Define tuberculosis- cases and treatment
3. Describe the case finding tools in tuberculosis
4. Describe the common anti-tuberculosis drugs.
5. Explain the causes of drug resistance in tuberculosis
6. Describe the control of tuberculosis
7. Describe the Revised National Tuberculosis Programme(RNTCP)

 

Set Induction:  Video clipping an untreated symptomatic patient in the community setting (which will help the lecturer to build up the relevance of RNTCP). 

SLO	Content	Method & Media	Time	Evaluation
1	Prevalence, incidence. Highlight that 20%  of global burden is in India	Power point	5minutes	Asking questions
2	Case of tuberculosis- A patient in whom tuberculosis has been confirmed by bacteriology or diagnosed by a clinician. Also definitions of smear positive, smear negative, new case, relapse, failure, return after default, cured.	Power point	5minutes	Asking questions
3	Sputum examination-collection,slide reporting, false positive and false negative. Sputum culture, X-ray, tuberculin test	Power point	8minutes	Asking questions
4	Bactericidal-Refampicin,INH, Streptomycin, Pyrazinamide Bacteriostatic drugs-Ethambutol, Thioacetazone	Power point	5minutes	Asking questions
5	Causes of resistance are incorrect prescription, irregular supply of drugs, non-compliance of treatment, lack of supervison and follow up	Power point	5minutes	Asking questions
6	Childhood tuberculosis, chemoprophylaxis, BCG vaccination	Power point	8minutes	Asking questions
7	Objectives of RNTCP, organisation, treatment-DOTS, drug resistance surveillance, DOTS-plus, paediatric tuberculosis, TB-HIV co-ordination	Power point	15minutes	Asking questions

 

Follow up  (e.g) Find out the cure rate of patients attending the designated microscopy centre at Medical College, Thrissur.
