In our learning pod each one of use decided to research one of instructional approaches to learning environments. The one that I chose is the direct instruction.
Direct instruction is a teacher-directed teaching method. This means that the teacher stands in front of a classroom, and presents the information. The teachers give explicit, guided instructions to the students.
Direct instruction doesn’t stop at the teacher explaining a concept. There are 6 steps that are very important in the process.
We need to remind ourselves that social presence is concerned with open communication, group cohesion, and interpersonal relationships. Maintaining an open and cohesive community of inquiry requires a sensitive and sustained focus.
