The discovery approach is a type of teaching that encourages students to take a more active role in their learning process by answering a series of questions or solving problems designed to introduce a general concept. There are three types of methods that are included under the discovery approach:

  • Open Discovery Method: Based on inductive reasoning and followed by scientists.
  • Guided Discovery Method: This too is based on inductive reasoning and used by teachers while teaching science to students. The pattern that is used in the Guided Discovery method is Example-Rule.
  • Deductive Discovery Method: It is used to discover by using the deductive method, that is, something can be discovered fro some general principle.

Hence, we can say that both statements are correct.
