An instructional method is a set of steps teachers follow to implement their teaching approach, which can include presentations, demonstrations, and discussions. Drill and practice is a method where students learn by repeating previous knowledge at their own pace, such as through flashcard games, computer games, workbooks, and map recognition. Effective drill and practice introduces content before practice sessions, uses short frequent sessions over long ones, incorporates individual and group activities, adds competition to engage students, ensures correct practice, and provides opportunities to apply newly learned skills.
