Maximum participation of students is possible in teaching through

Maximum participation of students is possible through discussions, since every learner can speak, question and respond.

Discussion is two way, drawing out ideas from the whole group rather than from the teacher alone.

The lecture method is one way transmission and keeps most students as passive listeners.

The textbook method centres on reading printed matter and offers little live interaction.

Audio-visual instructional facilities aid presentation but by themselves still leave learners mostly receiving, not participating.

Discussion embodies collaborative, dialogic learning, which is why it maximises active involvement.
