I thank Lou Talman (2011) for alerting me to David Bressoud's (2011) perceptive MAA Launchings piece "The Worst Way to Teach."
In addition to Bressoud's excellent set of references, other anti-passive-student-lecture references are Epstein (2007), Mazur (2009), and Hake (1998a,b; 2011a,b).

Mazur, E. 2009. "Confessions of a Converted Lecturer" talk at the University of Maryland on 11 November 2009. That talk is now on UTube at <http://bit.ly/dBYsXh>, and the abstract, slides, and references - sometimes obscured in the UTube talk - are at <http://bit.ly/9qzDIq> as a 4 MB pdf. As of 15 July 2011 09:11-0700 Eric's talk had been viewed 40,132 times. In contrast, serious articles in the education literature are often read only by the author and a few cloistered specialists, creating tsunamis in educational practice equivalent to those produced by a pebble dropped into the Pacific Ocean.
Talman, L. 2011. "Lecture Isn't Effective: More Evidence," Math-Teach post of 15 July 12:32 AM (the Mathforum fails to specify the time zone); online together with responses both acute (Strausz) and obtuse (Haim, Hansen) at <http://bit.ly/qWHWkc>.
