Delivery Questions and Answers Graded
A
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.
4. Share outlines.

Bloom's Level: Evaluation ✔✔ability to judge value of material (statement, novel, poem,
research report) for a given purpose
Bloom's Level: Synthesis ✔✔ability to put parts together to form a new whole; may include:
production of unique theme or speech, plan of operations (such as a research proposal)
