On the other end of the scale is Implicit methods, they are often seen as more effective, less boring and more interactive, but like Explicit teaching methods, it also have cons, like being difficult to measure, not being concise or clear.

Well over time teachers have been using explicit methods for various reasons, for example it is something that is measurable. Parents and department heads often want to see progress in the form of numbers and putting number on something abstract is not always easy or possible hence the use of explicit methods. On the other hand explicit methods are often experienced as very boring which entails that student would often lose focus in the subject, thus meaning more time spend teaching the subject.
