Outcome Based Education 07/06/2010http://drjj.uitm.edu.myDr Fox’s escapade has been used to support several conflicting positions Good teaching isn’t a matter of how much you know but of how well you put itacross. (Wrong on both counts. ‘Putting it across’ is not what good teaching is.) It just goes to show how unreliable student ratings are: they only want to beentertained. (It doesn’t show this: these students were rating a one-off presentation,not a complete semester of teaching.) Lecturers should be trained in thespian skills or at least in public speaking. (Helpful,no doubt, but could the majority of academics perform centre stage, day afterday, inspiring students every time?) We should subcontract large class lecturing to professional actors. (Why not, if anacademic writes the script?) Lectures may motivate and inspire students – if they have the appropriate thespianskills. (Partly correct.) There must be better ways of teaching large classes than lecturingng. (Correct.)Source: Biggs & Tang (2007). “Teaching for Quality Learning at University”. Third Edition.
