Direct instruction has been widely criticized for its rigid and old-fashioned nature, but has proven to be the most effective method in education, even better than student-centered methods like discovery learning or problem-based teaching (Kim, T., & Axelrod, S.

The two classes are teacher-centered, yet some students seem more engaged than the others. Why do you think this happens? Well, there's a good answer.

Using direct instruction techniques can liven up a classroom and maximize learning.

Direct Instruction in a Nutshell

Direct instruction (DI) is a way of teaching where educators use explicit teaching techniques to teach a specific skill to their students.

Skills typically taught with this method are writing, math, sciences or pretty much anything!

Flaticon Icon The role of the teacher in DI

Even though this is a teacher-directed method, lessons can be super active and fun, with the teacher serving as a guide. Everything depends on the approach the teacher adopts: active learning or traditional instruction.
