I would prefer a deductive approach to curriculum and instruction. I like the idea of proceeding from the "general to the specific". I think you must have an overall (general) idea of what you need to move on to the exact (specific) pieces of the puzzle. I see curriculum as the overall "general" idea for the entire school. Instruction is the "specifics" taught in the classroom from the overall curriculum.
I prefer the deductive approach to curriculum and instruction. When planning and teaching, I need to start with the "big picture" and move in to more specific areas from there. When developing curriculum or designing instruction, I think one is most effective when the whole is considered before the parts. The big picture and general aspects help to establish a guide and provide direction.
I also perfer the deductive approach to curriculum and instruction. I like the idea of proceeding from the general to the specific. I think for most of us the overall curriculum is the SOL's and the instruction that is used to teach the SOL's are the specifics. I really like using this type of approach when I am teaching because it allows me to really connect my instruction with the curriculum.
I also prefer the deductive approach to curriculum and instruction. I think it is important to understand the general first. For example, what works for our school should be concentrated on first of all, and then specific needs can be met by applying what we know generally works. We can use the general to outline the specifics.
I would prefer a deductive approach to curriculum and instruction. It gets straight to the point and have a general outline of what you need to do. Once you have the general, specifics can be worked out by teachers and by using what you already know will work.
I prefer a deductive approach to curriculum and development. I believe you need to start with the general and build up to the specific. You need an overall idea of the general before you can proceed to the specific.
I would have to agree with the others. I feel that a deductive approach would be the most effective way to provide the proper curriculumand instruction. Like Tyler's model, he gathered data on the students, their society, and the subject matter first. I would want a general idea to start with so I can see what the "big picture" is and where I need to be going. I also like the Saylor, Alexander, and Lewis Model where they have you to set your objectives and goals first then go to the specifics of what and how it is taught. When a principal ask you about your subject matter I find it more effective to find out what their expectations(Goals,Objectives) are then give them my insights to what is the best strategies and methods to teach it. I feel that you need a general idea to know where you are going so you can know how to get there. Israel Easter

I definitly feel a deductive approach is the most effective approach to instruction and curriculum as well. One must begin with a geneeral direction in order to obtain the specifics.
I would have to agree with everyone else in the blog. I would prefer a deductive approach to learning. Getting the general idea or "basics" is essential to learning before you get more specific in content. Having prior knowledge is very important in all aspects of education, which is why it is important to make sure everyone involved in the learning process knows the simple things to get into more detail about something.
I along with everyone else would prefer a more deductive approach to curriculum. It is nice to have the general aspect of what needs to be taught, then you, the teacher, can make it your own with the specifics. ~Jennifer Campbell
Deductive approach to curriculum and instruction works well in most scenarios. It fits Covey's idea of "beginning with the end in mind." In other words, you have to know where you're going in order to get there! -- Marlin Campbell
I would prefer a deductive approach. Going from general to more specific best fits with teaching and learning. The "big idea" should be addressed before getting into the details and having the idea evolve. Samantha Reed
I would prefer a deductive model because our schools are focused on SOL scores so I would start with the state mandated standards and then build on from there towards our school goal of promoting successful learners and leaders. Shane Reed
I prefer a deductive approach. While teaching life processes in Biology, I have noticed big picture ideas seem to stick with students better. I have also noticed a few female students prefer an inductive approach because of so many steps.
I agree the majority of my classmates. I prefer the deductive approach. I like to have a general idea of what materal/information/skills I need to teach my students. As a special education teacher, the student's individual needs guide how I present the material. I try to really get to know each student's learning style and present lessons as creatively as I can. Misty Zyvoloski
I tend to agree with the majority of my classmates. The deductive approach is the approach I feel more comfortable with. As a special education teacher I like to know what I am expected to teach, then I adapt the instructional techniques to fit the individual learning styles and needs of my students. Misty Zyvoloski
I agree, I think a deductive approach is the way to go. I do not "lecture" in my classroom. I believe in letting the students come up with the specifics of what needs to be learned through working out a problem or answering a question in which I present the general topic of information. The students must them deduct for themselves what the important information is based on the clues I give them through the lesson. This type of Problem Based Learning allows students to find information for themselves and adapt it to their own lives. It also allows for more creativity in problem solving and helps students practice problem solving skills (which many are lacking in this day and age.)
When looking at curriculum and instructing I prefer the deductive approach. I beleive that having the general concept allows one to evaluate the specifics in order to throw out any material that deviates from the general concept.
I think that a deductive approach is the best style for instruction. I think the students should help teach the lesson and allowing them to learn through working out problems and issues makes the material last longer with them. I want my sudents to learn and remember not just memorize. It also gives me a structured form to teach by.
Because of the SOL's I believe that we have to use a deductive approach by beginning with the general and breaking down the SOL's into specific items (such as the essential knowledge and questions)when we teach them. Since I teach first grade I think it is easier for them to know the concept first. One example is when I teach winter I start with the general concpt and what they know, and then teach the specifics about winter.
