Effective Teachers must
strategically determine how they will present their lessons. Teacher strategies
fall into two divisions: Direct Instruction and Indirect Instruction.
Strategies involving direct instruction is where the teacher, software/computer
is the major information provider. Indirect instruction means the student can
rearrange or add to the content and material to facilitate learning.
When to use a direct or
indirect strategy is based upon what is being taught. When facts, rules or
action steps are presented, a direct instructional strategy should be
employed. However, to teach concepts,
inquiry or problem solving, it is best to used indirect teaching
strategies.
To be an Effective
Teacher we should never just present information or a lesson without
considering what is being taught, the tools to be used and expected student
outcomes. To do this, an effective strategy of teaching must be thought out,
designed and implemented. This helps to
increase the quality of teachers and improve student response and understanding
of the material.
