The resources this week discuss direct instruction andconstructivist learning. For this discussion, compare andcontrast these two forms of teaching. Within your discussion,be sure to address the following questions:
What are the central concepts of eachmethod?
What do you feel is the single most salient benefitfor each method of teaching? The most notabledisadvantage?
Does the appropriateness of using either of theseprimary teaching methods change according to student agelevel? Consider the grade level that you are most likely toteach (or currently work with if you are already teaching) anddiscuss which method you feel would be more appropriate for thislevel. Â
And finally, which method would you rely on moreheavily as an intentional teacher? Why?
