PMI MODEL

MAKE COMPARISON BETWEEN TEACHING AND

LEARNING APPROACHES

Deductive Approach: Deductive

reasoning, or deduction, starts out with
a general statement, or hypothesis, and
examines the possibilities to reach a
specific, logical conclusion.

Inductive Approach: Inductive

reasoning makes broad generalizations
from specific observations.

Integrated Approach: An integrated

approach allows learners to explore,
gather, process, refine and present
P
information about topics they want to
(PLUS)
investigate without the constraints
imposed by traditional subject barriers.

Thematic Approach: It allows learning

to be more natural and less fragmented
than the way, where a school day is
time divided into different subject areas
and whereby children practice exercises
frequently related to nothing other than
what the teacher thinks up, as he or she
writes them on the chalk board.
 Deductive Approach: Lack of students'
involvement and struggle for
understanding. Younger learners may
not able to understand the concepts.

Inductive Approach: It requires more

time and so less subject matter will be
covered. Teachers need much time to
M lead students to the formulation of
(MINUS) generalizations. It demands expert
facilitating skills on the part of the
teacher.

Integrated Approach: It is based on

curriculum standard only.

Thematic Approach: Some students

could lose interest in the theme - less
motivation to participate.
Deductive Approach: Deductive
reasoning usually follows steps. First,
there is a premise, then a second
I premise, and finally an inference.
(INTERESTING)
Inductive Approach: Learning
becomes more interesting at the outset
because teacher begin with the
experiences of the students. They begin
with what they know.
Integrated Approach: An integrated
approach allows students to engage in
purposeful, relevant learning.
Thematic Approach: It allows literacy
to grow progressively, with vocabulary
linked and with spelling and sentence
writing being frequently, yet smoothly,
reinforced.
