Hi Rachel, I think that the information you shared is very thoughtful. I am from Ontario and I found that during elementary school there was a lot of direct instruction, whereas in BC there seems to be less of it. As an opposite to your experience, I find university to be more direct, as the courses I take are mainly the professor speaking at the class. I wonder if maybe our programs are the reason for this different experience. I did my personal inquiry on project-based learning, and I feel as if a combination of project-based and direct instruction would be beneficial for students!
