Transcript of Direct instruction
- 1. What is
2. What is DIRECT INSTRUCTION?
- Explicit teachingof a skill-set using lectures of demonstrations of the material, rather than exploratory models such as inquiry-based learning.
- Systematic
- Scaffolded/ No place for guess work or errors
3. Philosophy of Direct Instruction
- Instructional Principle:When teachers explain exactly what students are expected to learn, and demonstrate the steps needed to accomplish a particular academic task, students learn more.
- If the child hasnt learned, the teacher hasnt taught.
-
- Thus the responsibility of student learning rests squarely with teacher design and delivery of instruction.
4. Philosophy of Direct Instruction
- Direct instruction rejects the assumption that students will spontaneously develop insights on their own.
- Rather, direct instruction takes learners through the steps of learning systematically, helping them see both the purpose and the result of each step.

- Setting clear goals for students and making sure they understand these goals.
- Presenting a sequence of well-organized assignments.
- Giving students clear, concise explanations and illustrations of the subject matter.
- Asking frequent questions to see if the students understand the work.
- Giving students frequent opportunities to practice what they have learned.
8. DI Advantages
- Delivering large amounts of information in a timely manner
- Correlated with improved learning among primary children from working and middle class backgrounds
- Positive effects with at-risk students, and with students with learning disabilities
9. WHAT ARE THE THREE MAIN ADVANTAGES OF DIRECT INSTRUCTION? 10. Other Advantages
- Proven effective in teaching basic skills(such as how to use a microscope ).
- Proven effective in teaching skills that are fundamental to more complex activities(such as prerequisite skills for long division).
- Provides a good foundation for new teachers learning the language of instruction.
11. DI Disadvantages
- Since DI is very structured, it could inhibit student and teacher creativity
- Could present a philosophical challenge to teachers who see their role as facilitators of learning *
- Not useful for teaching less-structured topics (such as English composition or the analyses of social issues).
12. What are the disadvantages of Direct Instruction? 13. DI WORKS BEST WHEN:
- It is used with K-6 students
-
- It is used with socially and economically impoverished students*
-
- It is used with students with learning disabilities
-
- As long as teachers employ other effective teaching strategies , DI is shown to work in a wide range of situations.
