INDUCTIVE TEACHING....

Is also known as discovery teaching or inquiry teaching.

The kind of inquiry that calls for students to investigate rules, principles and generalizations is called INDUCTIVE.

AND...

It is also kind of teaching  the students from known to unknown, simple to complex and concrete to abstract.

 

* There are two types of Inductive Teaching namely:

1. Guided Inductive- here the teacher will guide their students(teachers provide them with basic lesson) but wants the students to make their own generalizations

2. Unguided Inductive- teachers allow the students to provide the case and to make the generalizations, this process is known as unguided inductive teaching.

 

The phases/procedural steps of Inductive Teaching:

 Phase 1- the open ended phase.

Phase 2- the convergent phase.

Phase 3- closure .

phase 4- the application phase. 

 

PURPOSE OF INDUCTIVE TEACHING.

* Allows students to be discoverer in the process of learning.

* It is student-centered.

* Allows students to apply generalization.   

* Allows students to draw generalization.

* students  gain investigative skills.

 

Advantages of INDUCTIVE TEACHING.

- Construct knowledge and skill.

- Students have conscious control of a powerful tool for learning.

-The learning is not the end but it can be applied in further classwork.  

 

Disadvantages of INDUCTIVE TEACHING.

- The content coverage can be minimum.

-Inductive discovery needs a verification, in different cases, through deduction.
