Which method allows some active participation by learners?

• A. Teaching Lecture
• B. Lecture Method
• C. Demonstration
• D. Silent Reading

Answer: (A)

Active participation can be built into a lecture by inviting learners to contribute as the material is presented—asking questions, solving a quick problem, or discussing a scenario while the instructor guides the flow. This approach keeps students engaged and checks understanding without abandoning the efficiency of a lecture format. The other options tend toward less interaction: a pure lecture tends to be mainly one-way information delivery; silent reading is entirely passive with no instructor interaction; a demonstration centers on observing a skill being performed, with learner participation largely deferred to after the demonstration.
