And a linchpin of direct instruction is that students are tested often to ensure they have mastered the material before moving on.

Direct Instruction with Science Research Associates Curriculum (SRA, 1988).

Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an experiential learning approach to instruction, in comparison to direct instruction, on the successful intelligence of secondary agricultural education students.

In many school settings with limited resources, students need direct instruction to grasp the inner workings of science, in his view.

Researchers consistently support the idea of using direct instruction in their classes to teach basic concepts and skills that are prerequisites to complex tasks.

The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of two contrasting pedagogies (i.e., experiential learning and direct instruction) on students' retention of agricultural knowledge over time.

Wilson was somewhat sceptical of the literature and review submissions claiming the success of bilingual programs and subsequently recommended the normalising of literacy approaches and the take up of Direct Instruction (DI).

"We're very pleased with the Direct Instruction model and the results we're seeing here in the district."

Developed in the 1960s, Direct Instruction (DI) is a teacher-centred teaching approach that uses teacher explanation and modelling combined with student practice and feedback to teach concepts and procedural skills (Eggen & Kauchak, 2006).

In recent years, the earlier view has staged something of a comeback, as KIPP and other "No Excuses" charter schools have insisted on devoting hours of class time to direct instruction, even to drill and memorization.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of Learning Together technique of cooperative learning on students' achievement and attitudes toward science by comparing those students' scores to that of those instructed by direct instruction. This study was then guided by the following specific research questions:
