Explanation

Direct teaching is associated with providing examples and explanation, giving review and recapitulation, and offering practice and feedback, giving statements 1, 4 and 5.

Direct teaching is teacher-led and structured, so the teacher supplies clear examples and explanations.

Review and recapitulation let the teacher consolidate what has been taught through repetition.

Practice and feedback allow guided rehearsal and correction, a hallmark of direct instruction.

Promoting inquiry, focusing on concepts and problem raising belong to indirect, discovery-based teaching.

Direct instruction was systematised by Madeline Hunter and contrasts with the constructivist, inquiry approach.
