Description

The article operationalizes the two teaching models as opposite instructional sequences. The inductive program is represented as "Specific examples → Practice → General rule", so learners work examples and practice before the rule is stated, while the deductive program runs "General rule → Specific examples → Practice". The researcher built one program of each type for each level, based on that level's syllabus, and taught them to the experimental groups.

Design Implications
