Deductive teachingf Strategy

Deductive Teaching Strategy:

·         A deductive teaching is more teacher-centered approach. This means that the teacher gives the students a new concept, explains it, and then has the students practice using the concept. For example, when teaching a new grammar concept, the teacher will introduce the concept, explain the rules related to its use, and finally the students will practice using the concept in a variety of different ways.

·         In deductive teaching strategy students are taught from unknown to known, complex to simple idea, abstract to concrete, etc…….

Direct Instruction:

It is a method of instruction in which principle to generalization are presented initially.

Proposes of Deductive teaching Strategy:

·         Retains better information.

·         Results in better transfer of learning.

·         Deductive mode of inquiry is effective when the students have a limited background of the subject.

·         Less time consuming as it is more focused on time.

·         Teacher can use a broad spectrum of materials and means of presentation in the classroom.

Phase in deductive teaching strategy:

Phase1: Presentation of abstraction. Here the teacher defines the concept or states the generalization.

Phase2:Here the teacher gives the examples.

Phase3: Here the student tries to give their own examples.

Phase4:Here the student tries to apply what they have learned.

   Role of the teacher:

·         Provides information to the students.

·         Act as an information coordinator.

Role of the Student:

·         They just listen to the teacher’s instruction and information(passive listener),

·         Carries out the activity after the teacher’s instruction.

Difference between Deductive and inductive teaching strategy:

Inductive teaching Strategy	Deductive teaching strategy.
It gives new knowledge.	It does not give any new knowledge.
It is a method of discovery.	It is a method of verification.
It is a method of teaching.	It is the method of instruction.
Child acquires first-hand knowledge and information by actual observation.	Child gets ready made information and makes use of it.
It is a slow process.	It is quick process.
It trains the mind and gives self-confidence and initiative.	It encourages dependence on other sources.
It is full of activity.	There is less scope of activity in it.
It is an upward process of thought and leads to principles.	It is a downward process of thought and leads to useful results.

Inductive Teaching Strategy

Inductive Teaching Strategy:

·         Was first designed to help students to organize a deep and through understanding of well-designed information. In this strategy teacher presents the student with an examples that illustrates the context and guide the student’s effort to find pattern in the information.

·         In this strategy we move from –known to unknown.

                                                             -Simple to complex idea.

                                                            -Concrete to Abstract.

·         Also known as guided discovery

• Teacher’s role is to provide examples that illustrate the content and then guide students’ efforts to find patterns in the information
• Learners construct their own understanding (with careful guidance and questioning by teachers)

Characteristics of Inductive teaching Strategy.

·         Highly sophisticated and demanding instruction

·         Teachers must be expert in questioning

·         Teachers must monitor behavior

·         Teachers must make on the spot decisions about what questions to ask and which students to call on

·         The students must be guided to analyze the information

·         Emphasizes critical, higher-order thinking

·         Increases student motivation

·         Learner involvement and success

·         Evokes curiosity and challenges students to find an “unknown”

·         Examples provide background information to accommodate individual differences

·         Creative model peaks student interest

Concepts of inductive teaching strategy:

1.      Open-ended phase.

2.      Convergent phase.

3.      Closure phase.

4.      Application phase.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Inductive teaching Strategy.

Merits of Inductive Method

By making use of this method, following merits get accrue to the students as well as to teacher:

a. As this is a scientific method, thus it helps to considerable extent in developing scientific outlook among the students.

b. This method helps to develop scientific attitude among the students.

c. With the help of this method, teacher can develop qualities of critical thinking and habit of keen observation among the students properly and accurately.

d. This is a very logical and psychological kind of teaching science.

e. By this method, students get various opportunities to play an active role in learning process.

Demerits of Inductive Method

This method has certain limitations, some of which are as follows:

a. The results or conclusions drawn from such method are not found to be final in case where the amount of data is very large in number.

b. All the topics of science cannot be dealt with this method properly.

c. This method can only be used when teacher have much time for teaching process.

Guided and unguided inductive teaching strategy.

1. Guided

In this  teacher will provide some hint related to the topic but students have to do self discovery.

features of guided   inductive teaching strategy

• learner have to explore.
• teacher will just be a guide and provide the basic information.
• whatever student do, teacher has to encourage.

 2     Unguided
In this teacher will only act as guide and all the work should be done by students themself(provide only the topic).

features of unguided   inductive teaching strategy

• teacher will pose only the question.
• student centered 

Inttroduction to teaching strategy

First  we looked at different concept. and my understanding are ,

1. strategy: plan to achieve something in a long period of time.

2. Method: way of doing something  in a correct procedure.

3. Skill: Ability,or Talent.

4. Approach: making a move to achieve a particular concept.

5. Technique: performing or doing something practicle with various idea.

6. Tactics: way.

Introduction to Teaching Strategy:                                                                          

 As per my notion Teaching Strategy means is a instruction given by the teacher to the learner to produce desired outcome.

Types of strategy:

1. Inductive teaching strategy.

2. Deductive teaching strategy.

3. Questioning Strategy.

4. Project Strategy.

5. Instructional  Strategy.

6.Role play strategy.

7.Field learning strategy.

8.Demonstration Strategy.

9. Activity based strategy.

10.Individualized instruction strategy.

11.problem solving strategy.

Instructional strategy:

• Instruction here refer to as teaching.
• Strategy here is refer to as a action of a plan.  

  Main components of Teaching Strategy: 

• Learners 
• Environment
• Desired learning outcome.                              

Teaching method:

• means through which  teacher organize and guide the learners experience.
• can be referred to as tactics use to carry out strategy.
• Teaching tactics/teaching strategy.
