The Spaced Lecture.
Sitler, Helen Collins
College Teaching, v45 n3 p108-10 Sum 1997
In a classroom research project, one college teacher experimented with a variation on conventional lecture method to improve student understanding of content. At logical points in the lecture, approximately 15-20 minutes apart, the lecturer pauses and directs students to review the material and paraphrase it in writing. Analysis of student notes and a comprehension exercise revealed much about students' learning process. (MSE)
