As the world developed, the importance of education increased. Thus, the debate for teaching method is ongoing. Some people believe that teachers should encourage students to express their opinions, while others think that they should focus on lecturing. It is admitted that both methods have drawbacks, but it is clear that the second one will be more effective.
To begin with, this allows teachers to include more content in a limited period. This is because teachers can continue to talk without interruption from others. Since they do not need to stop, they will have a full class to introduce new concepts and theories. In contrast, teachers that allow students to ask questions frequently will always need to stop at certain time , so they are not able to explain as much as they want, or they plan to according to the time they have. For instance, in a history class, if a professor is introducing the timeline of the Cold War, there will be many things to talk. In a lecture that no students ask questions, the teacher can explain the content fluently, whereas if there are some students that want to express their opinions, the time that the professor can speak will be limited. Therefore, considering that more content can be explained in a certain amount of time, focusing only on teaching will be effective.
Furthermore, allowing students to express their viewpoints may distract the attention of the teacher, so they may not stick to the content of the class and waste time on other topics that may not be useful to their grades. Just imagine how a teacher will response to students when their express their opinions. It is common that they will use evidence to prove or disagree with it. In this case, many students may continue to argue about it because they do not fully understand. In the process of explaining the points, the teachers may need to talk about other concepts to persuade them, and thus, it will lead to a different topic that is not quite related to the class. After that, the teacher may forget what they’ve talked about before it, which may lead to confusion. This shows that time may be wasted when students are involved in the discussion.
Lastly, students can exchange their opinions with friends and teachers after class. Doing this will not use time in the lecture and students will have enough time for discussion. For example, they can talk about a decision of a German leader and judge if it is effective. They may then tell the teacher about the conclusion and ask for some advice. In this way, they have a chance to exchange ideas while not interrupting the class.
To conclude, although some students may find it difficult when the teacher is talking about a point that they do not understand, considering that more content can be included and students are able to express opinions as well as the fact that teachers may be distracted by the questions, focusing on lecturing have more advantages than drawbacks.
