The only purpose of teaching is to facilitate learning. Some teachers lecture, others demonstrate and discuss, some focus on principles and others on applications, some emphasise memory and other understanding. Since students learn in various ways, teachers should vary their use of instructional strategies to meet students’ needs.

Direct Teaching: It is an instructional strategy that follows the deductive model i.e. they start with a known principle and moves to the unknown. The strength of this strategy lies in its directness and specific focus. It has the following characteristics:

  • It refers to a pattern of teaching, which consists of the teacher explaining a new concept or skill, to a large group of students, having them test their understanding by practising under his/her direction.
  • The lesson begins with the explanation of the known principles and then leads to examples of the new principle.
  • It is a direct and straightforward way of addressing the lesson objective.
  • The students are academically focused as the teacher clearly stating the goals for the lesson.
  • It is based on behaviouristic learning principles such as obtaining students´ attention, reinforcing correct responses, providing corrective feedback and practising correct responses.
  • There is a tight linkage between the teacher’s examples and the task required of students.
  • It is a teacher-directed instruction and follows a clear, sequential approach, with the teacher in control of the content, activities and lesson pacing.
  • The teacher summarizes and recapitulates the main points at the end of the lesson.
  • The teacher monitors student understanding and provides feedback to students on their performance.
  • There is consistent use of effective classroom organization and management methods.
     

NOTE:

Promoting inquiry, focusing on the learning of concepts and problem-solving are learner-centred teaching strategies and thus, are not associated with the direct method of teaching.

Hence, providing examples and explanation, giving review and recapitulation and offering practice and feedback are associated with direct teaching.

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.
Eight north Indian Ocean countries, namely, Bangladesh, India, the Maldives, Myanmar, Oman, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Thailand, were asked to contribute names so that a combined list could be compiled. Each country gave eight names and a combined list of 64 names was prepared. This list is currently in use, and all cyclones arising in the north Indian Ocean are named from this list, with one name from each country being used in turn. Almost 38 or 39 names from the list have been used up, but since many cyclones dissipate long before they hit land, their names rarely figure in the papers or other media. The names that people do know about, and remember are, naturally, those that were most destructive ones, or very recent. Aila, in 2009 is remembered with a shudder for the enormous destruction it caused in West Bengal and Bangladesh; Phaillin, also for the damage it caused when it hit the Odisha coast in 2013. Two harmless cyclones, which also might remain in peoples memory, are the more recent ones of 2014 — Hudhud, which threatened the east coast of India and Nilofar, which was expected to, but did not, devastate the western coast. The names in the cyclone list are usually words one associates with storms; words which mean water or wind or lightning in various national languages. Sometimes they are names of other things — birds or flowers or precious stones. The name Aila, contributed by the Maldives means fire, the name Phaillin from Thailand means sapphire, the name Hudhud from Oman is the name of a bird, probably the hoopoe, and the name Nilofar, given by Pakistan, is the Urdu name of the lotus or water lily. The eight names suggested by India, and which are in the list of 64, are Agni, Akaash, Bijli, Jal, Leher, Megh, Sagar and Vayu, meaning in that order, fire, sky, lightning, water, wave, cloud, sea and wind. Five of these names (that is, up to Leher) have been used so far.
Which country did not contribute to the list of the cyclone names?
