Instruction is the purposeful direction of the learning process and is one of the major teacher class activities. Professional educators have developed a variety of models of instruction, each designed to produce classroom learning. Each model differs in the specific type or measure of learning that is targeted. Which instructional method is “right†for a particular lesson depends on many things, and among them are the age and developmental level of the students, what the students already know, and what they need to know to succeed with the lesson, the subject-matter content, the objective of the lesson, the available people, time, space and material resources, and the physical setting. Therefore, while making decisions about best educational practices teachers must be certain that they connect recommended practices with specific desired outcomes. The present publications provides an authentic and comprehensive coverage of various types of fruitful instructional methods which are widely recognized by teachers. The concepts, nature, advantages and disadvantages of teacher-controlled, learner-controlled and group controlled teaching methods are described in details. Educators, practicing teachers and students in teacher-education programs will find this work a highly beneficial reference tool.
