It is known that during one hour lecture that attention is at its highest level in the first 10 - 20 minutes and last 10 minutes. The most note taking also occurs in the first 10 minutes. and only 42 % of the information can be recalled after the talk, this will decrease to 20 % after 1 week. ( Long A and Lock B, 2014 )
So my aim for the lecture to improve this percentage and deliver all information in an attractive methods helping students to be attentive most of the time and can recall all information in a longer period of time.
To help the students reflect the real world, i will use a diagram to demonstrate that the gastrointestinal tract harbors the enteric nervous system. I will challenge the students with a question like, "which are the internal process that the autonomic system controls?" I expect the students to highlight such processes as blood pressure, digestion, heart rate, pupillary response, defecation and Urination, sexual responses, respiratory rate, not to mention body temperature.
To help the students complete the experiential learning cycles, I will demonstrate to them that we are her to learn, and that expertise plays a vital role in the construction and acquisition of knowledge. According to Wehrwein, et al. (2016) therei is the need to illustrate the processes of knowledge acquisition by asking two students to step forward and ask them to answer any questions from their classmates on what we have talked about. Essentially, this will not only help the students brainstorm tehir knowledge but also give me the opportunity to provide feedback. I will use method of learning by asking the students to name some of the disorders that may damage the autonomic nervous system. I will thereafter ask the students to discuss in pairs how autonomic disorders result from conditions like Parkinson's disease, aging, peripheral neuropathy, as well as spinal cord disorders (Wehrwein, et al., 2016).
