If students can only focus for 15-minute intervals, shouldn't we devote precious class time to something more engaging?
Each school day, millions of students move in unison from classroom to
classroom where they listen to 50- to 90-minute lectures. Despite there
being anywhere from 20 to 300 humans in the room, there is little actual
interaction. This model of education is so commonplace that we have
accepted it as a given. For centuries, it has been the most economical
way to “educate” a large number of students. Today, however, we know
about the limitations of the class lecture, so why does it remain the
most common format?
