Discover the world's scientific knowledge

Generally speaking in the USA, from the time a child is a baby, it is curious about all the world around them; they are continuously asking "why?".

But by the time a child finishes elementary school, it is more interested in being popular with its peer group. The exceptions are the "nerds."

What have our schools done to our children's innocence?  

I have been teaching for close to 35 years, and in my experience, the simplest and best way of getting trust and build a contract between lecturer and student is to learn all student names. By doing so, you (as the teacher) get automatically aware of student participation, and a quick question of why Mary is not present today will in almost all cases lead to Mary showing up again. Addressing students by name is very handy. Some students may of course feel this a little treathening, but my experience is still that 'this tastes more' than it costs

“If we want to change the world, we should first change education” said once a friend of mine, making more evident than ever the fact that education nowadays is “in crisis”. Taking for example higher education, apparently the main objective has changed (in most cases) from “educating students” to “preparing effective workers”, following teaching models/methods which fail to motivate and waken the inherent human curiosity. Some of us involved in education usually use the term “lecture” of “lecturing” as equal to “teaching” or even worse, make this false equivalence everyday practice!

So, let’s all express as briefly as possible what is the first thing that comes in our mind when hearing the term “lecturing” and what when hearing “teaching”.

Dear RG members, The increased reliance on electronic lectures during the Corona crisis has made the academics gain new and expanded experiences in this field. I hope you will share any application, software (screen recorder,....), technique, or any augmented reality experience that you find useful to communicate the idea directly and to make remote lecturing more effecient.

Is it something we need to think about as educators and researchers?

Dear colleagues,

I look for any kind of academic institution worldwide to collaborate in dental/periodontal research or lecturing/teaching.

Topics: periodontology / implantology / halitosis / lasers in dentistry.

Please contact me

Is Researching more interesting than Teaching/Lecturing?

Is Researching more involving than Teaching?

Please what are your views?

I think E-learning can replace classroom teaching

I do not think online teaching can replace lecturing

I have not thought of this at all

You views are highly welcome!

What are the reasons for the sense of embarrassment, fear and hesitation of some academics and teachers when lecturing, discussions and conferences?
