ABCTE PTK- Effective Instructional
Delivery Study Guide
Indirect Instruction - student-centered and interactive; teachers facilitate small-group
& cooperative learning
Indirect instruction aids with teaching... - abstraction, concepts, patterns, inquiry,
problem-solving and discovery learning
Direct Instruction - teacher-centered; teachers give explicit, structured instruction
using lesson plans
Direct instruction aids with teaching... - facts, rules, & sequences; breaking down
textbook or workbook material; lower Bloom's Taxonomy; & gaining student interest
What essential cognitive process do many students fail to do before beginning activities,
and why is this step important? - Planning; Planning is important because students
use working memory to rehearse information in short-term memory and prompt the
move into long-term memory for retention
Deductive Learning - 1. Overall concept or rule presented.
2. Students work with examples to apply concept or rule.
(rule --> examples)
Inductive Learning - 1. Students study examples of content.
2. Students make generalizations, leading to an understanding of the rule
(examples --> rule)
Deductive Reasoning - top-down, general-to-specific process; beginning from a
general theory --> narrowing down to a more specific hypothesis --> testing --> drawing
specific conclusions; moving from generalizing (or rule) to specific examples or activities
Inductive Reasoning - bottom-up, specific-to-general process; beginning from
accumulating specific info --> identifying principles --> drawing conclusions or general
principles; moving from specific examples to generalizing (or a rule)
How can teachers structure class logically? - 1. Present problems, then solutions.
2. Frame topics as stories.
3. Chronologically recount processes & events
3. Show interconnected ideas' relationships to overarching themes.
