Yes. Most definately! In this way the "study" becomes real and the student is actually able to "see" the principal working. If an instructor is able to use more than just one of the 5 senses while teaching, they will become successful in conveying the lesson and the student will master it. It is a tried and true way and that path always leads to the intended goal.

Good question. Learning should be an active process which is student centred. They should be encouraged and enabled to take responsibility for their own learning. A strategy, such as interaction, by that I think you mean activities like paired and group activities, allows the teacher to detach themselves, ( after the mandatory imput stage,) and guide the students through this process of learning. Passive learning, the traditional approach, is at best, lecturing and at its worse, only promotes rapid eye movement, although the eyes are wide open.

Oh heck ya, if you grab a students attention and make it interesting hands on and fun, they will remember a lot longer then if they read it out of a book and had to take a test on it.
When I was in highschool, I had a teacher walk in slam his books down and said "NOW LOOK, IF ANY OF YOU DON'T WANT TO LEARN AND DON'T WANT TO BE HERE THEN GET THE HELL OUT OF MY CLASS NOW BECAUSE I'M NOT WASTING MY TIME" it was a great way to get my attention, I always wanted his respect so I tried harder and paid attention. But he made science fun, one time we sent up air balloons that we had glued together out of paper, one caught fire and landed on the school roof that was hilarious. The other time he packed a paint can with some flour and a candle, it had a hose attatched to it, and you had to light the candle put the lid on so it could still get some air, then blow in it and it would make the lid explode off. He left the class room for a min. and one student had the flame reach the ceiling. It was different and wonderful I never forgot it.

I do not see why teaching interactively has to be difficult.
Some students however feel the need for person to person teaching.
I think both options should be available, that way students in remote areas will have access to instruction.

It depends on the subject and the familiarity of the class with the subject. Some subjects do not lend themselves to being taught interactively, especially math. Other subjects such as social studies if people have opinions and are knowledgeable about the subject can be taught interactively.

Of course....people learn better through actual hands on teaching techniques.

Yes! I always learn better hands on rather than just plain teaching.

i think it's good if the concepts for the basic things are explained in a no-frills very concrete way........THEN start applying the concepts in various ways so that they can be completely understood. most ppl seem to enjoy the interactive way of learning better, so it would be great to reinforce skills in that manner.

It is a useful teaching tool. I dont think its a case of being better, its just one valuable way of a variety of methods.
