THEORY | Historically, explanation has been associated with causation, to explain an event or phenomenon is to identify its cause. | The pragmatic orientation of much writing on social research methods has meant issues associated with the use of questions have often been treated in a theoretical fashion. Indeed, much of the advice on questionnaire design is more a product of experience | | |
THEORIST | Hempel’s theory of explanation. | | | |
APPROPRIATE | Good explanation remains the cornerstone of teaching, whether one is committed to learner-centered teaching or not. Even in an entirely learner-centered lesson, teachers need to explain in order to inform learners about what they need to do. But explanation as a teaching tool is not merely didactic lecturing, reading from text books or aimless chatter. | | | |
NOT APPROPRIATE | When the teacher over-used and badly used, it becomes inappropriate. However. Teachers are seldom taking responsibility for an explanation that does not work; hence, they blame learners for not understanding. | | | |
