EVALUATION OF IMPACT OF INTERACTIVE LECTURES ON LEARNING IN TERMS OF COGNITIVE OUTCOMES AND STUDENT SATISFACTION

AIM: To implement interactive activities in lecture and evaluate their impact on learning in terms of cognitive outcomes and student satisfaction. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In our study we compared interactive lectures with didactic lectures. We took an immediate post test and feedback forms from student after each lecture and compared the results. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the post test results between the two lecture types. In the feedback forms significant number of student found the interactive lectures better in terms of attentiveness, learning and understanding at the end of the lecture. CONCLUSIONS: Use of interactive lectures can promote active learning, heighten attention and motivation, give feedback to the teacher and increase satisfaction for both.
