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¶
Context¶
Requirements¶
- Both programs must be based on the syllabus of each level, as the researcher prepared them
Constraints¶
Target Learners¶
- Jordanian university EFL students
- Jordanian elementary-stage EFL students
Learning Goals¶
- English grammar achievement (tenses, subject-verb agreement, yes/no and WH questions, negatives)
Claims¶
- Inductive Beats Deductive Grammar University Jordan [+M]
- Inductive Beats Deductive Grammar Elementary Jordan [+M]
