CExperiential instruction

DDiscussion orientation

Correct answer: (B) Direct instruction

Explanation

One of the most popular forms of drill and practice is direct instruction, in which the teacher leads structured, repeated practice.

The teacher demonstrates, guides practice and then has students practise independently until skills become automatic.

Questioning is a teaching skill for eliciting responses, not itself a form of drill and practice.

Experiential instruction centres on learning through direct experience, which is the opposite of routine drill.

Discussion orientation relies on open exchange of views and does not fit repetitive practice.

Direct instruction, systematised by Barak Rosenshine, moves from modelling to guided practice to independent practice.
