ENGAGING LECTURE TIP 36 Value Display
By virtue of our roles as faculty members, students tend to confer high status on us and expect us to live up to it. We should honor their beliefs in us by striving to live up to their expectations. We can do this by working diligently to craft a lecture that adds value to student learning and then communicating the importance of the message through verbal and nonverbal methods.
Value Display communicates the lecture's importance to students and thus may help to improve students' interest and motivation. If you can communicate the reasons students should care about the topic, student motivation to put in the energy and effort required to learn will most likely improve.
