Lecture-based teaching methods often receive negative reactions among educators. They are frequently perceived as outdated and monotonous. However, in reality, lectures are still widely used in teaching, even if not delivered in long durations or large portions. Recognizing this reality led the author to conduct research on how lecture methods can still create meaningful and lasting learning experiences for students. Based on this research, a book was written to invite lecturers and educators to revisit the fundamental steps of teaching that can leave a lasting impact on students and other audiences.
The book Sticky Lectures serves as a reminder of the “basic steps” in the “dance” of teaching. It explores various factors that make a lecture memorable and impactful. Rather than offering a rigid formula to be applied mechanically, the book presents a collection of principles and steps that can be creatively combined to produce teaching with greater influence and effectiveness.
The launch of this book is expected to contribute positively to higher education, where lectures continue to be commonly used. It aims to equip educators with practical insights for more meaningful teaching, ultimately supporting better education and bringing glory to God.
