CStudent-centred teachers
DNone of the above
Correct answer: (A) Direct instruction teachers — Direct instruction teachers favour the traditional rows-facing-front seating, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Direct instruction teachers favour the traditional rows-facing-front seating, so that is the answer.
★Direct instruction is teacher-led, with the teacher delivering content from the front.
★So it fits a formal seating of rows all facing the teacher, keeping attention on him.
★Indirect instruction encourages inquiry and interaction, which suits flexible groupings.
★Student-centred teaching places learners at the centre and prefers arrangements for group work.
★Since the fixed, front-facing rows serve teacher-led delivery, direct instruction teachers favour it.
