Inductive vs Deductive method
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.
In contrast with the deductive method, inductive instruction makes use of student “noticing”.
Instead of explaining a given concept and following this explanation with examples, the teacher
presents students with many examples showing how the concept is used. The intent is for
students to “notice”, by way of the examples, how the concept works.
Both methods have adventages but it is important to implement the method where the
student can participate and the rol as a student can be developed with more tolos that
can be help to the learning process.
