Deductive Strategies

• • Teacher-directed learning ( “I Do It”, We Do It”)

  • Teacher begins by presenting the general rules and works towards the specifics of the lesson.

    • Teachers model their thinking and explain the learning process

    • Learning is direct and straight forward.  

    • Time is easily managed by the teacher

      • A large area of content can be covered in short amounts of time

    • Little-to-no ability to check for student understanding

    • Minimal student participation is required

      • Students are more passive learners
