EDUCATION (CBSE/UGC NET)

Detailed explanation-1: -In general usage, the term direct instruction refers to (1) instructional approaches that are structured, sequenced, and led by teachers, and/or (2) the presentation of academic content to students by teachers, such as in a lecture or demonstration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Students often use ineffective learning strategies such as rereading, highlighting, underlining and cramming. Self testing is a relatively effective learning strategy. Students tend to underuse it or use it ineffectively. Spaced or distributed practice is an effective way to promote long term learning.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Direct Method is based on the direct involvement of the student when speaking, and listening to, the foreign language in common everyday situations. Consequently, there is lots of oral interaction, spontaneous use of the language, no translation, and little if any analysis of grammar rules and syntax.

Detailed explanation-4: -Promoting inquiry, focusing on the learning of concepts and problem-solving are learner-centred teaching strategies and thus, are not associated with the direct method of teaching.
