Examples

Then they will be known examples of how to be an effective teaching is through direct instruction.

An example of direct instruction is developed, is mentioned below:

One of the first models to be put into practice was the active teaching model, developed for the Missouri mathematics effectiveness project. one the basic of extant research findings, a primary  school teaching model was designed, which teachers were trained to implement lessons were to be structured as follows(Daniel Muijs, 2010):

A) Daily review (  +/- 8minutes, except on Mondays)

1. Review concepts and skills associated with yesterday is homework

2. Collect and deal with homework assignment

3. Provide several mental computation exercises

B) Development ( +/- 20 minutes) ( introducing new concepts, developing understanding)

1. Briefly focus on prerequisite skills and concepts

2. Focus on meaning and promoting pupil understanding by lively explanations, demonstrations etc.

3. Assess pupil competence

 a. using  process and product questions ( active interaction )

 b. using controlled practice

4. Repeat and elaborate on the meaning portion as necessary

C) Seatwork ( +/-  15 minutes)

1. Provide uninterrupted successful practice

2. Momentum- keep the ball rolling - get everyone involved, the sustain involvement

3. Alerting - let pupils know their work will be checked at the end of each period

4. Accountability - check the pupils work

D) Homework assignment

1. Assign on a regular basis at the end of each maths class except Fridays

2. Should involve about 15 minutes of work to be done at home

3. Should include one or two review problems

E) Special reviews

1. Weekly review

a. conduct during the first 20 minutes on Mondays

b. focus on skills and concepts covered during the previous week

2. Monthly review

a. Conduct every fourth Monday

b. focus on skills and concepts covered since the last review
