A foundation for understanding the decision-making structures that exist in all teaching/learning environments. In this revised edition, chapters have been updated to include real-world examples, concise charts, practical forms, and concrete suggestions for "deliberate teaching" so that the flow of events in teaching can be understood, decision structures can be analyzed, and adjustments that are appropriate for particular classroom situations can be implemented. The decision structure as it relates to teachers and learners, the objectives (O-T-L-O) of each teaching style or teaching method, and the application of each style to various activities and educational goals are described.--Back cover.
