the direct teaching method, also known as explicit instruction, has been a prominent approach in education for centuries. This method involves the teacher delivering information directly to students through structured and systematic lessons, often incorporating lectures, demonstrations, and explicit modeling of skills. Direct teaching has been a subject of ongoing debate and research within the field of education, with proponents praising its effectiveness in imparting knowledge and skills, while critics raise concerns about its potential limitations and impact on student engagement.
