Fourth Reflection Paper

In 14th March's session we were taught about Inductive Teaching Strategy. It has six sub headings as follows, 1) Concept Of Inductive Teaching/ Learning Strategy, 2) Purpose of inductive teaching/ learning strategy, 3) Procedural steps of Inductive Teaching/ Learning strategy, 4) Role Of teachers, 5) Merits and Demerits of the strategy and 6) Model lessons.

Concept of Inductive Teaching/ Learning Strategy.
It means discovery or inquiry teaching, it is an inquiry or discovery based learning whereby it leads learners from what is known to unknown. Here the teacher is almost consistent and the students do research, explore and present it to the whole class. It is mainly about self- discovery, here students are free to ask as many question as possible to the teachers.
It's a teaching in which teacher provides only specific views so, that the students can do research by themselves.
It is further divided into two topics, Guided and Unguided.

Guided
Teacher provide the students with hints, feedbacks and information and also clarify doubts, for this the students should think out of box.

Unguided
Teacher will just give specific topics, students have to observe, do research and go for field trips and share your observation.

Features of Guided Inductive Teaching. 
Learners progress from information/ data, they compare and contrast.
Teacher control the situation.
Teacher encourages the students to learn and work on their own.

Features of Unguided Inductive Teaching
Students have to bring their doubts to the teacher, teacher won't ask the students whether they have any doubt or not.
It is more student centered learning.

Thank You.
