a) Deductive Method – begins with what is

abstract, general, unknown to the learners

and proceeds to what is concrete, specific,

and what is known to the learners.

b) Inductive Method - starts with what is

concrete, specific, and what is known to

the learners and ends with what is abstract,

general, & unknown.

ADVANTAGES:

a) Coverage of a wider scope of the subject matter

b) No bother on the part of the teacher to lead

learners to the formulation of the generalization

or rule.

DISADVANTAGES:

a) It is not supportive to the principle that learning

is an active process.

b) Lesson appears uninteresting at first.

ADVANTAGES:

a) The learners are more engaged in the teaching-

learning process.

b) Learning becomes more interesting at the outset

because we begin with the experiences of our

students.

c) It helps the development of our learners’ Higher-

Order-Thinking- Skills (HOTS).

DISADVANTAGES:

a) It requires more time and so less subject

matter will be covered.

b) It demands expert facilitating skills on the

part of the teacher.
