Deductive teaching is a traditional, teacher-centered method where the teacher first provides information through lecture, then shares examples of the concept before having students practice. This is a rule-driven approach that can save time. In contrast, inductive teaching is a more student-centered, constructivist model where the teacher first provides examples for students to study and practice in order to discover the underlying rule themselves through guided discovery learning.

1. Deductive teaching is a more traditional form of
teaching. In deductive teaching you typically
provide information (lecture), share specific
examples of the concept or skill being taught,
then, allow students to practice the skill being
taught. This is a more teacher-centered model of
teaching that is rule driven. Some of the positives
of this method are that it is time saving and gets
to the point of the lesson easily. Inductive
teaching is a constructivist model of teaching that
is more student-centered. In inductive teaching
first provide examples, then have students
practice and figure out the rule themselves. This
method of teaching is more experiential and
based on a guided discovery learning philosophy.
