Inductive Strategies

• • Student-centered learning (“You Do It Together”, “You Do It Alone”)

  • Teachers present students with specific learning materials and allow students to discover the general rules or learning focus

  • Students pull from the skills that they know to tackle a presented problem

  • Learning is slower with less teacher involvement

  • Can be used to check students ability and understanding

  • Promotes higher-order thinking
