instructional model

It is derived from the Philosophies of Idealism and Scholasticism and

part of Realism. The teacher leadership style is authoritarian-thismeans that the teacher makes all the major decisions in the

classroom. The classroom is dominated by the teacher.

The lesson involves a teaching-learning process in which the

students are required to repeat and remember facts.

the subject matter content.

This is a Teacher-Centered Method (It focus on what the teacher

is going to do)
