Discussion about this phrase:

"Direct instruction is not to be confused with Direct Instruction, a specific direct instructional model developed by Siegfried Engelmann and Wesley C. Becker."

Why should they not be confused? How are they different? I think that this article should at least have one statement about how these two VERY SIMILAR terms should be distinguished from one another. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shredthegnarbrah (talk • contribs) 21:07, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Why is discovery learning here? Discovery learning is not part of direct instruction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.45.165.39 (talk) 19:47, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Merge

 * Support - Behaviorist paradigm unites Direct Instruction and Direct instruction, differences should be explained on the same page to avoid ambiguity issues. Stmullin (talk) 20:16, 12 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Definitely merge Direct Instruction and Direct instruction. It's pretty ridiculous that these are two different articles. I don't know what a behaviorist paradigm means, and I'm sure the average reader doesn't, either. I'm not sure it's appropriate to merge the resulting article into Personalized learning, but I think it's too early to know at this point how much sense that makes.

 * No, don't merge Direct Instruction and Direct instruction. One is a specific curriculum, while the other is a pedagogical approach. Instead, merge Direct instruction with Explicit instruction and make Direct Instruction its own article. Divers Alarums
 * Why? Isn't Direct Instruction just a type of Direct instruction? Flyte35 (talk) 03:04, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Confusing and unbalanced article?
I just tried to make the german article about "direkte Instruktion" more clear because there is/was allot of confusion going on and I thought the english article should be better in this respect but it seems to me that this is obviously not the case. Its more like a complicated (really hard to understand) explanation of Engelmanns conception and not much about the general concept of direct instruction or/and how it works in general terms - like the way John Hattie did for his Meta-Analysis for example. The big section about "Effectiveness" is nice but maybe a bit too much compared to other parts of the article? The section with "Criticism" is in my opinion not worth to mention because there are just some sentimental statements. Greetings from germany and sorry for my scorching criticism (and bad english). --Phipus (talk) 10:52, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
