Hi Jason, great blog post #2 discussing the direct instruction approach. Your post was very informative, and improved my understanding of this learning method. It was interesting comparing the differences from the instructional approach I covered, open pedagogy. Notably, the involvement, structure, and engagement from educational professionals was the main difference I recognized of these approaches. I believe the direct instruction approach would be a beneficial teaching strategy for me, and learners that value detailed instructions/ feedback. I agree, students between kindergarten and grade 12 tend to require more in-depth teaching, therefore the direct instructions generally are a reliable strategy independently or combined with an alternative approach.
