2. The teacher tells or shows
directly what he/she wants to
teach. This is also referred to
as direct instruction.

3. According to Bob Adamson, “The
deductive method is often criticized
because:
a) it teaches grammar in an isolated way;
b) little attention is paid to meaning;
c) practice is often mechanical.”

4. Instruction makes use of student
“noticing”. Instead of explaining a
given concept and following this
explanation with examples, the
teacher presents students with many
examples showing how the concept is
used. The intent is for students to
“notice”, by way of the examples, how
the concept works.

5.  How personalized should the learning be?
Students will usually be more involved in
the learning experience and tend to
participate more actively when an
inductive approach is used. If a deductive
approach is chosen, it is important to
structure the learning experience in
order to draw on students' prior
experiences and learning, and to provide
for their active involvement.

6.  Should
learning
experiences
be
predictable? The deductive approach is
more predictable because the teacher
selects the information and the sequence
of presentation.
 What depth of understanding and rate of
retention is desired? Students tend to
understand and remember more when
learning occurs inductively.

7.  How much time is available to teach the
material? The deductive approach is
faster and can be an efficient way to
teach large numbers of facts and
concrete concepts.

9. 1. Blended Learning
Learning that is facilitated by
the effective combination of
different modes of delivery, models
of teaching and styles of learning,
and is based on transparent
communication amongst all parties
involved with a course. Heinze, A.; C.
Procter (2004).
