Abstract:

Lectures are probably the best teaching method in many circumstances and for many students; especially for communicating conceptual knowledge, and where there is a significant knowledge gap between lecturer and audience. The term "lecturing" refers to both planning and delivering a classroom presentation. While the lecture has certain elements in common with a formal speech, a classroom lecture places greater emphasis on the importance of presenter-audience (instructor-student) interaction.

In this paper we asked the students in Foundation program about their opinion through a questionnaire which contained 19 questions and distributed among all of them. The questionnaire will help us to answer the question “Do the instructors apply some basic skills in teaching to reach to an effective lecture?”
An analysis of the results and some figures are presented, some hypotheses were tested and finally conclusions and recommendations are presented.

Keywords:

basic teaching skills, stratified simple random sample.
