Disadvantages • It is based on old learning theories: simple tasks before complex
ones, only measurable learning is worthwhile.• Students do not have a sense of the overall purpose when it comes to
the simple steps. • More difficult to access the students’ prior knowledge. • Lower retention rate in problem solving.• Direct instruction works best in conjunction with other teaching
methods.
Advantages
• The teacher has control of the timing of the lesson.• Students are physically easy to monitor.• The teacher has control over what will be learned and who will learn. • The curriculum can be covered so the teacher can say that he/she
taught the material. • Any information for which there is one right answer can be taught
efficiently and honestly by using direct instruction.
Pros And ConsWhy you should or shouldn’t use Direct Instruction.
High Vs. Low Socioeconomic Income
• How the Teachers teach is important.
• Two different schools.
• Two different styles of learning.
• Two different socioeconomic
incomes.
Research indicates that direct
instruction works better even in other
countries for teaching young
children, children with disabilities, or children that are learning to speak
more than one language.
~INSTRUCTORS ARE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE THE TECHNIQUE EFFICIENTLY TO STUDENTS AS A COMBINATION OF INSTRUCTIONAL COMPONENTS.
~ DIRECT INSTRUCTION IN LANGUAGE SKILLS CAN IMPROVE CONVERSATIONAL GRAMMAR.
~PRE AND POST TEST COMPARISONS BETWEEN GROUPS SHOWED THAT THE DIRECT INSTRUCTION GROUP MADE SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER GAINS THAN THE TRADITIONAL GROUP ON PHONOLOGICAL/ORTHOGRAPHIC MEASURES.
