 Definition
• INDUCTIVE:
Inductive teaching (also called
discovery teaching or inquiry teaching) is
based on the claim that knowledge is build
primarily from a learner’s experiences and
interactions with phenomena.
 Definition
• DEDUCTIVE
Deductive teaching (also called
direct instruction) is much less
“constructively” and is based on the idea that
a highly structured presentation of content
creates optimal learning for students.
 Inductive teaching
 An instructor using an inductive approach
begins by exposing students to a concrete
instance, or instances, of a concept .
 The teacher’s role is to create the
opportunities and the context in which
students can successfully make the
appropriate generalizations, and to guide
students necessary.
 Deductive Teaching
 . The instructor using a deductive approach typically
presents a general concept by first defining it and
then providing examples or illustrations that
demonstrate the idea.
 Students are given opportunities to practice,
with instructor guidance and feed back.
 Example of Inductive Teaching
Using the grammar situation,
the teacher would present the
students with a variety of
examples for a given concept without giving any introduction
about how the concept is used. As students see how the
concept is used, it is hoped that they will notice how the
concept is to be used and determine the grammar rule. As a
conclusion to the activity, the teacher can ask the students to
explain the grammar rule as a final check that they understand
the concept.
 Example of Deductive Teaching
A deductive approach to
instruction is a more
teacher-centered approach.
This means that the teacher
gives the students a new concept, explains it, and then
has the students practice using the concept. For
example, when teaching a new grammar concept, the
teacher will introduce the concept, explain the rules
related to its use, and finally the students will practice
using the concept in a variety of different ways.
 Advantages
• Inductive
 Students may draw approaches
 Inductive approach can increase the creativity
 Inductive approach showed better long-term
retention ability
 Meet the challenges of the new world
 Advantages
• Deductive
 Some educators have suggested that
deductive teaching can be critically important
for students with learning disabilities
 Some learn best through a deductive
approach.
 Deductive learners like to have the general
principles identified
 Disadvantages
• INDUCTIVE:
 . Students may draw other meaning from the
examples
 The inductive approach may also take more time and
be less “efficient” then a deductive approach
 certain ideas do not lend themselves easily to an
inductive-teaching
 Disadvantages
• DEDUCTIVE
 It doesn’t allow for divergent student thinking.
 It also doesn’t emphasize students reasoning
and problem solving.
 Deductive approach can not increase the
creativities.
 CONCLUSION
 Both deductive and inductive teaching
approaches should be included in all courses.
 Each offers advantages to students with
different learning strengths and motivations.
 Varying the approach to teaching content can
help to reach diverse learning needs.
