Why Use Lecture Tutorials?
• Research (on both the geology and astronomy Lecture Tutorials, see references) has shown that students who use Lecture Tutorials in the classroom retain more knowledge than students who listen to lecture on the same material. • Not all alternatives to lecture have been shown to increase student learning more than lecture alone; for example Libarkin and Anderson (2005) found no correlation between teaching style and students’ conceptual understanding in geology. • Lecture Tutorials address different learning styles.
