Continuation on the lesson on the Deductive Teacing Strategy

We continued on the same session on the deductive teaching strategy. We looked at the advantages and disadvantages of the strategy. As discussed the prominent advantages of the strategy were: -
  • less time consuming as time being one of the factor.
  • it is different from the rode learning as in involves logical interlinking of the elements.
  • Most teaching materials and curriculum can be easily taught through this strategy.
  • it involves all levels of questions.
And the disadvantages of this strategy are: -
  • student's active involvement and participation is missing in the beginning of the lesson.
  • As the strategy is a teacher-centered approach, it may not be challenging for the brighter students.
 Next we discussed on the role of  teacher in the strategy: -
  • presents principles and generalization
  • need to plan and prepare detail information including materials
  • teacher has maximum authority
  • teacher should have abstract content and illustrate the with examples
  • provides guidance and scaffolding to the students.
