In which of the following teaching methods does a student find out everything…

Concept

Teaching methods differ in how they distribute responsibility for reaching knowledge between the teacher and the learner.

In the heuristic, or discovery, method, learners build knowledge through observation, inquiry, experimentation, and self-directed activity; the teacher primarily creates the learning situation and provides resources.

Application

The stem describes a learner finding things independently through complete self-activity or self-learning. Those features directly describe the heuristic method.

Contrast

• The lecture method presents information mainly through the teacher's oral explanation.

• The inductive method moves from particular examples toward a general rule.

• The deductive method begins with a general rule and applies it to particular cases.

Cross-check

The Greek root associated with heuristic means to find or discover, which matches the learner's role as an independent discoverer in the stem.

Result

Therefore, the teaching method described is the heuristic method.
