Instructional Model

Direct Instruction is the instructional model that I prefer to explore a little bit more in depth.
I think direct instruction is interesting because it is a guided practice as a whole class and then the students do their work independently. Also, information is presented in small steps so that one step can be mastered before moving to the next step.
At the same time, the students demonstrate their new skills or knowledge independently without help from anyone.
In general, a teacher should use the direct instruction model because is particularly useful when teaching basic skills and when the skills to be learned can be reduced to small, independent segments. This model is also useful when teaching facts or data for recall.
