A fourth key concept is the function of instruction, beginning with the objectives that teachers wish to attain. Chapters 10 and 11 concentrate on those instructional strategies that research has shown to be effective. Learning, however, does not occur in a vacuum. You must understand the best circumstances in which learning can occur. Consequently, these chapters present in some detail successful strategies for managing a classroom, focusing on those techniques shown by both theory and research to be effective.
