Answer

The 70/30 rule in teaching suggests that 70% of class time should involve student activity and engagement (discussions, practice, problem-solving, collaboration) while 30% involves direct teacher instruction (lectures, demonstrations, explanations). This student-centered approach promotes active learning, critical thinking, and better retention compared to traditional lecture-heavy methods. The ratio emphasizes learning by doing rather than passive listening.
