If students do not understand a lesson there could be several reasons. However, one of the main reasons why students fail to grasp a concept relates to pre-knowledge and their existing knowledge structures which militate against any kind of understanding. Learning is often sequential in some subjects and at other times it is dynamic but in most cases in sequential learning, the previous step must be mastered before introducting new knowledge. In a dynamic learning situation once again its is important for information to be introduced in a way that learners can relate to it based on their existing knowledge. In the case of the former and latter situations, the teacher must understand who he/she is interacting with and at what levels of functiong they are at. In other words you may not be able to teach calculus to grade9 learners because much more knowledge is required before calculus is taught. In most cases learners can be taught any subject, however, preknowledge and understanding the learner is critical for success.
As a teacher/ trainer, you must consider at all times that different individual learns different style. I strongly suggest to make the learning cycle an experiential one. Meaning, involve icebreakers, case studies and exciting activities. As a result, you'll be surprised that your learners are becoming more interested learners than before.
To save the lecture at the very moment:
After the end of the lecture, review and revise the lecture... see if it makes sense
rephrase it, give another explanation, put it in real worlds terms, show examples.... videos or art...
I've no problem to repeat each single bit of the lesson, till all of them get it.
if the whole class is struggling with the lesson, it may be the syllabus has been badly designed and the lesson inappropriate at that point in time. Alternatively, it may be that the lesson is being taught badly. If this were the case, I would try to integrate the subject into something that motivates the class in order for them to relate better with the concept. The most important thing is not to panic as classroom management could quickly breakdown.
Make lesson more enjoyable for students,by giving different type of examples.most students want enjoyable atmosphere during the explanation, they want to listen something out of the textbook in the form of examples.if teacher not think out of the box, then student not attracted towards lesson.
If students are not getting the lesson it means either they are finding it difficult, boring, or teacher's language is not clear the method of teaching is difficult, the speed of teacher is fast,or may be some disturbance from out side etc are the general reasons. the teacher should have to find the correct reason, try to engage the students , use the method of teaching which involve them in the learning process try to create healthy discussion so they can express themselves.
