Instructionism

Current Definition

That form of education best described as didactic instruction. Non-interactive lecture style classes would be the ultimate in instructionist education.

This term is generally used as a contrast to constructivist learning. As such, it often carries a perjorative tone.

Instructionism is considered to be based on a transmission model of communication, in which a teacher instructs by transmitting facts to a passively receptive student.
