The document discusses the deductive teaching method. It begins by explaining that in this method, the teacher directly tells or shows students what they want to teach, such as stating a rule for adding fractions and then providing examples. Another example given is a teacher explaining how geographic location influences way of life by showing an economic map of the Philippines. The document then lists the steps of the deductive approach as clear recognition of the problem, searching for a tentative hypothesis, formulating the hypothesis, and verification. Finally, it discusses the advantages as being straight to the point and allowing more practice time, and disadvantages as being quite formal, encouraging rule-based learning, and passive lessons.

2. Deductive Method
 In the deductive method, the teacher tells or shows
directly what she/he wants to teach. This is also
referred to as direct instruction. How does the teacher
proceed when he/she teaches deductively? Here are
some examples:
A teacher wants to teach his/her pupils how to add
similar fractions. She begins by stating the rule: To add
similar fractions just add numerators then copy the
denominator. Then she will gives examples. After
which she will give written exercises for her pupils.

3. Or she/he begins her/his lesson with generalization that
geographical location influences peoples’ way of life.
Then she/he will give proofs that this is so by showing
them an economic map of Philippines. Then study the
map with them. Those who live near the sea are
fishermen. Their main product is fish. Those who live
in wide plains like Central Plain of Luzon, Cagayan
Valley have rice as main product and farming as main
occupation.

4. Steps in deductive approach
 Deductive approach of teaching follows the steps given
below for effective teaching
 ü Clear recognition of the problem
 ü Search for a tentative hypothesis
 ü Formulating of a tentative hypothesis
 ü Verification

9. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF
DEDUCTIVE METHOD
Advantages-
 lesson is straight to the point
 many rules can be more explicitly and quickly explained
 allow more time for practice and application
 time
 saving.
Disadvantages
 quite formal
 encourages the belief that learning a language is simply a
case of knowing the rules
 passive and boring lesson
 teacher-centered (one way communication)
