Guiding Question
What are the differences between inductive and
deductive instructional models?
20
ALL INSTRUCTION IS EITHER
DEDUCTIVE OR INDUCTIVE
21
DICTIONARY DEFINITIONS

• DEDUCTIVE THINKING
• To produce, determine, or infer
• from a general principle lead away-
• INDUCTIVE THINKING
• To produce, determine, or infer
• from the particulars lead to-

22
OPERATIONAL DEFINITIONSWhere the Database Comes
From
DEDUCTIVE TEACHING

• The knowledge/comprehension
• database (data, concepts, skills) is delivered or
  modeled by the teacher.

INDUCTIVE TEACHING
The knowledge/comprehension database (data,
concepts, skills) is gathered or induced by the
students.
23
DEDUCTIVE TEACHING

• Out from the Teacher

24
INDUCTIVE TEACHING

• Gathered In by the Students

25
DEDUCTION/INDUCTIONHow students get the
knowledge/skills

• The operational definitions of deduction and
  induction apply ONLY to how the students acquire
  the knowledge or skills.
• Practice and/or processing strategies
• may be either deductive or inductive.

26
How Students Acquire The Database
DEDUCTIVE MODEL

• Explanation
• Teacher is giving students
• the concept, skill, or
• information

Guided Practice Application/Processing

27
How Students Acquire The Database
INDUCTIVE MODEL

• Explanation
• Students are conducting research,
• observation, analytical
• thinking to get the concept, skill, or information

28
What Makes a Lesson Cycle Inductive?

• No/few facts are given to the students.
• Students construct the data base by relying on
• prior experience
• prior learning, or
• a reading/research assignment
• observation
• experimentation

Your results

• If you have mostly As
• You prefer the lecture method. Try integrating
  other teaching methods to make your classes more
  interesting and interactive.
• If you have mostly Bs
• You prefer the small-group/discussion method.
  Try integrating other teaching methods to make
  your classes more interesting and interactive.

36
Your results (cont.)

• If you have mostly Cs
• You prefer the questioning method. Try
  integrating other teaching methods to make your
  classes more interesting and interactive.
• If you have mostly Ds
• You prefer the inquiry/inductive method. This
  is a combination of all the methods together, and
  probably the most effective teaching method.
