Pros And ConsWhy you should or shouldn’t use Direct Instruction.DisadvantagesIt is based on old learning theories: simple tasks before complex ones, only measurable learning is worthwhile.Students do not have a sense of the overall purpose when it comes to the simple steps. More difficult to access the students’ prior knowledge. Lower retention rate in problem solving.Direct instruction works best in conjunction with other teaching methods.AdvantagesThe teacher has control of the timing of the lesson.Students are physically easy to monitor.The teacher has control over what will be learned and who will learn. The curriculum can be covered so the teacher can say that he/she taught the material. Any information for which there is one right answer can be taught efficiently and honestly by using direct instruction.

- #17: Kindergarten: While Marty spoke of using direct instruction integrated with cooperative learning, Elaine says she has to have direct instruction because the children are to young and have not been exposed to a lot of building blocks like older children would have been. She believes the more you can tie in your senses while using the direct instruction the better off you will be. Once direct instruction has taken place, then students can be broke into small groups to practice.First Grade: Becky uses direct instruction a lot. She did not feel that it is the most important form of instruction of but feels that in her class she has to start out with direct instruction. The older the students gets and the further into the year she goes, she is able to integrate different teaching styles.Second Grade: Shirley feels like you have to use direct instruction especially with the lowest learners in her classroom.Third Grade: Sandy feels that it is critical to teach direct instruction concepts. Once this has been accomplished then you can use cooperative learning. She describes using direct instruction as her foundation then moving towards guided practice, checking for understanding (critical), individual practice, and then assessment. She also felt that direct instruction is valuable when teaching all subjects. When she breaks her class into small groups, this is where she catches those students who have not yet grasped the concept or skill. If a teacher is not using direct instruction then students are losing our on valuable learning and an understanding of concepts. She believes in following up direct instruction with Kagen to keep things from becoming dry.
