Here is another article that discusses the merits or role of the lecture:
Friesen, N. (2011). The Lecture as a Transmedial Pedagogical Form A
Historical Analysis. Educational Researcher 40(3): 95-102.
http://dx.doi.org/10.3102/0013189X11404603
I don't think that lecturing is necessarily bad (though it can most
definitely be done poorly... just like active learning can be implemented
poorly). But that lecturing ALL the time is a poor teaching strategy. And
many of us in the TBLC know this - we all make use of the mini-lecture when
an intervention on the part of the instructor is necessary to advance our
students' learning.
Cheers
