Hello! I did my post on direct instruction as well and I really enjoyed reading your perspective to this method as well as the reaction to your group’s chosen topic. Teacher-led seemed to be the focus of the readings about this topic and is an essential point of direct instruction. The point of the teaching being repeated was not one that I came across, so I really appreciate that piece of information.
I would be interested to learn about how reliant education is in regard to direct instruction as opposed to others as it seems as though most traditional education practices this method most commonly. What teaching method have you most commonly noticed during your academic journey?
Considering the lack of participation from students and creativity is a valuable piece to identify as that can be a critical piece of learning. The idea of combining this teaching method with others is important, what teaching method do you think would be most compatible with direct instruction?

Hi Pim! I enjoyed learning more about inquiry based learning and particularly in regard to our group topic. This method of teaching sounds very supportive of student voices. It is refreshing to learning about a method that is encouraging of exploration of potentially challenging conversations that are occurring in reality. How might this method of teaching be a negative thing?
Your comment on learning how to learn from others is an important aspect in an educational environment. A growth mindset may be unique for each individual and using an inquiry based approach can allow for personal growth by listening to various perspectives from people with their own unique experiences.
