Education QUESTION #6699
Question 1
During a science lesson on ecosystems, the teacher begins with a general principle about energy flow before introducing specific examples of food chains. This instructional sequence reflects which pedagogical approach?
  • Inductive reasoning
  • Deductive reasoning✔️
  • Problem-based learning
  • Discovery learning
Correct Answer Explanation
Deductive reasoning moves from general principles to specific examples—from the broad concept (energy flow) to particular instances (food chains). Inductive reasoning works oppositely, building generalizations from specific observations.
