he resources this week discuss direct instruction and constructivist learning. For this discussion, compare and contrast these two forms of teaching. Within your discussion, be sure to address the following questions:
- What are the central concepts of each method?
- What do you feel is the single most salient benefit for each method of teaching? The most notable disadvantage?
- Does the appropriateness of using either of these primary teaching methods change according to student age level? Consider the grade level that you are most likely to teach (or currently work with if you are already teaching) and discuss which method you feel would be more appropriate for this level.
- And finally, which method would you rely on more heavily as an intentional teacher? Why?
- Be sure to include properly cited scholarly sources.
