Teaching Methods and Strategies

The Direct Instruction method starts with specific examples before arriving at a generalization.

The Inductive Method begins with a generalization to introduce a new concept.

The Deductive Method involves presenting students with many examples to develop their understanding of a concept.

Power point presentations are used to reduce academic learning time.

The Problem-Solving method involves reflective thinking and searching for information.

The traditional way of lecturing has been completely replaced by technology.

Scaffolded instruction requires students to immediately take full responsibility for their learning.

Declarative knowledge is essential for independent learning because it enables students to apply critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Strategic instruction can hinder student independence by creating over-reliance on the teacher.

Prior knowledge plays a peripheral role in the acquisition of new learning.

Implicit instruction is more effective in promoting student independence than explicit instruction.

Conditional knowledge is equivalent to declarative knowledge.

In a Student-Centered classroom, the instructor is the primary source of information and answers students' questions.
