Deductive approach
In this approach the teacher;
- Proceeds from generalizations to specific instances
- The method is mostly teacher centered i.e. the teacher is active while the students are passive.
- The approach leads to shallow learning.
In an example;
When teaching laws of indices.
The teacher introduces the topic by general law of indices: am × an = am+n.
Then move to a specific examplea3 × a2= a3+2.
Inductive approach
In this approach the teacher;
- Proceeds from specific to general rule
- From specific instances to generalizations
- From simple to complex
- Known to unknown
- This approach is learner centered. The teacher is a facilitator.
For instance; when teaching the volume of a cone
The teacher gives students 3 cones and a cylinder of equal height and ratio and allows them to fill them
with sand.
The sand in the cones will then be poured into the cylinder.
All these information will be recorded.
The results from the experiment will be compared with those from using the formula 1/3pr2h.
