Instructional Strategies in Social Study

Direct instruction is a teacher-directed strategy that includes methods like lecture and drill. It is effective for providing information or developing step-by-step skills, and can be used to introduce other strategies or actively involve students. Indirect instruction is student-centered and seeks to involve students through investigation and problem-solving. The teacher acts as a facilitator. Interactive instruction relies heavily on discussion between students and teacher. Experiential learning is inductive and learner-centered, emphasizing the learning process through reflection and application. Independent study allows for planned self-directed learning under a teacher's guidance.

Direct
is highly teacher-directed and is among the most
commonly used. This strategy includes methods such as
lecture, didactic questioning, explicit teaching, practice
and drill, and demonstrations.

Direct Instruction
The direct instruction strategy is effective for providing
information or developing step-by-step skills. This strategy
also works well for introducing other teaching methods, or
actively involving students in knowledge construction.
Indirect
Indirect Instruction
Inquiry, induction, problem solving, decision making, and discovery are terms
that are sometimes used interchangeably to describe indirect instruction. In
contrast to the direct instruction strategy, indirect instruction is mainly
student-centered, although the two strategies can complement each other.

Indirect instruction seeks a high level of student involvement in observing,


investigating, drawing inferences from data, or forming hypotheses. It takes
advantage of students' interest and curiosity, often encouraging them to
generate alternatives or solve problems. It is flexible in that it frees students to
explore diverse possibilities and reduces the fear associated with the possibility
of giving incorrect answers. And role of the teacher shifts from lecturer/director
to that of facilitator, supporter, and resource person. The teacher arranges the
learning environment, provides opportunity for student involvement, and,
when appropriate, provides feedback to students while they conduct the
inquiry.
Interactive
relies heavily on discussion and sharing among participants.

Interactive
Seaman and Fellenz (1989) suggest that discussion and sharing provide learners
with opportunities to "react to the ideas, experience, insights, and knowledge
of the teacher or of peer learners and to generate alternative ways of thinking
and feeling".
These may include total class discussions, small group discussions or projects,
or student pairs or triads working on assignments together. It is important for
the teacher to outline the topic, the amount of discussion time, the
composition and size of the groups, and reporting or sharing technique.

Activity 1: Simulation

Role Playing
Experiential learning is inductive, learner centered, and
activity oriented. Personalized reflection about an
experience and the formulation of plans to apply
learnings to other contexts are critical factors in
effective experiential learning.

Experiential
The emphasis in experiential learning is on the process of learning
and not on the product. A teacher can use experiential learning as
an instructional strategy both in and outside the classroom.
Independent
Initiated by student or teacher, the focus here will
be on planned independent study by students under
the guidance or supervision of a classroom teacher.
Independent
In addition, independent study can include learning in
partnership with another individual or as part of a small
group.
Evaluation Activity:
For you as a future Educator what do you think is
the importance of implementing an appropriate
strategy in your classroom in a social study class?
