Context-based teaching allows new and seasoned teachers alike to frame theoretical concepts, which are traditionally taught in isolation, with an overarching idea that is not only of interest to the students, but also of use to them. Context-based teaching is a technique that originated in medical schools and has dispersed into elementary and secondary school education, but has yet to fully transition into the college arena. Nonetheless, it promises a myriad of benefits to students, including increased in-class participation and long-term retention, and it can be applied into any subject and class level, including large and small lectures.
