INDIRECT / GUIDED / EXPLORATORY  or EXPERIMENTAL Strategies


               The Indirect Approach is student-centered or less explicit teaching method. It involves
the 
     building of independent learning and developing self-concepts. It develops students to
become self-
     directed learners, critical thinkers and problem solvers.

      Features:
            1.   Learner-centered, learners exercise initiative in the process.
            2.   Process of learning is perceived to be as important as the outcome.
            3.   Learning is applied as it is acquired, not  stored for future use.
            4.   The development of specific intellectual skills is better than merely covering
specified  
                     elements of subject matter.
      When to use:
1. When the teacher feels the need for students to develop self-reliance and intellectual
skills
 related to critical thinking and problem solving.
     
 1.  Inquiry – the process of answering questions and solving problems based on facts and
observation,
                    _ a strategy designed to teach students how to investigate problems and questions
with facts
      Features:
            1.   helps students find answers to their own questions in scientific manner
            2.   helps develop higher-order thinking skills
            3.   promotes independent learning
      When to use:
1. When there are real-life problems  or questions that must be answered through facts
and
         observation
2. for topics requiring higher-level thinking
      Steps:
            1.   Presenting/identifying the question or problem – either by the teacher or by the
students
            2.   Forming hypothesis – giving intelligent guesses or tentative solutions or
generalizations
            3.   Data gathering -  gathering necessary facts, information or evidences
            4.   Data analysis/assessing hypotheses – closely studying/analyzing of data gathered to
prove or 
                     disprove the hypotheses
            5.   Generalizing – making generalization based on the careful analysis of the data
gathered
