Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Indirect teaching strategies are learner-centred. The teacher facilitates inquiry, concept formation and meaningful connections instead of directly transmitting all content step by step. Engagement in an inquiring process, concept-based presentation and encouraging learners to draw on their own experiences are therefore features of indirect strategies. Gaining attention, informing learners of objectives, presenting stimulus material and stimulating recall of prerequisites are direct-instruction events. Hence, A, B and E are correct.
