Among the various forms of teaching, direct instruction is likely the method most familiar to students in university, as it makes up the majority of our education from childhood to graduation. Direct instruction is utilized by teachers to form a clear and concise pathway for students to learn along. This is done through the creation of a defined curriculum which guides students towards building upon their knowledge in the specific area of study. Despite its use of clearly set guidelines, direct instruction must be used in a robust manner, so that students of all levels are able to keep up with the curriculum. This means that it for direct instruction to work properly, adaptations must be made on an individual basis so as to help students keep on track with the advancements made as the curriculum gets harder. There is a combined approach of slowly introducing new material while rigorously reviewing content so as to reinforce the knowledge into the minds of students. In relation to our project on cooking, direct instruction can be used by us to teach complex topics such as nutrition in a manner which is inclusive for all learning speeds. Seeing as we will be doing a blog style learning guide, students will be able to move through material at their own speed, and extra resources are included so as to benefit those who have advanced through the information faster than others. In combination with other methodologies, direct instruction provides a great tool for our group to design with in the creation of our learning guide.
