Shaping the Way of Instruction: Fusion of Games, Lecture and Theatrical Techniques vs. Traditional Lecture Type of Library Instruction: Examining its Effectiveness in Undergraduate Library Instruction

Abstract

Nowadays, traditional lecture type of library instruction may work only to few audiences. Students exhibit various learning styles and along with this instruction, librarians are also faced with users of new generations. Users who are capable of multitasking, tech-savvy and are more inclined to surfing the net and engaging much on online chat, Internet discussion forums and online games, may find traditional type of instructions ineffective and boring. In order to give an answer to the effectiveness of the library instruction being conducted in each term at the De La Salle University –Manila, a study has been made to compare the difference between a lecture type of instruction with that of a combination of games, lecture and theatrical techniques. Using participant observation, post test and hypothesis testing, similarities and differences were drawn from the two techniques.
