The indirect instruction strategy
While direct instruction is considered as teacher-oriented, with the teacher as the main actor, indirect instruction is learner-centered. Other terms for indirect instruction strategy used interchangeably are "inquiry, induction, problem solving, decision making and discovery." These are drawn in the teaching process by making the most of learners' interest and curiosity via the indirect instruction strategy. The indirect instruction strategy and attendant teaching methods would require our practice-teaching/education students a repertoire of instructional skills to achieve optimum learning using indirect instruction. Teaching methods appropriate to indirect instruction strategy can better ensure learning outcomes through using teaching skills.

THE low pressure area (LPA) last seen over Catanduanes in Bicol Region may remain at the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) in the next three days but has a slim chance of developing into a tropical depression, the state-run weather agency said on Tuesday. Aldczar Aurelio, weather specialist of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), told The Manila Times that the weather disturbance was spotted past 3 a.m., Tuesday, some 190 kilometers north-northeast of Virac, Catanduanes or 340kms east of Infanta, Quezon. "According to our forecast track, the LPA may remain within PAR over the next three days but it is not likely to transform into a storm as it may eventually exit the country," Aurelio said. However, the weather disturbance is bringing cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over Visayas, Bicol Region and Mimaropa (Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan) in the next 24 hours, the Pagasa weather forecaster said. It said Metro Manila and the rest of the country will likely have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the localized thunderstorms.

Hotel quarantine reduction to be decided by govt in August, sources say
The SAR government is expected to make a decision in August on reducing the hotel quarantine for inbound travelers to three or five days from the original one week of isolation, according to sources. Commenting on the news, the manager of the Federation of Hong Kong Hotel Owners, Chan, said authorities have yet to make contact with the trade regarding any plans to reduce the hotel quarantine. She believed that inbound travelers will still have to go into isolation for seven days even if their hotel quarantine period has been shortened, with those days replaced with home quarantine. He also said the government should introduce the red and yellow color-coded pass function on the LeaveHomeSafe app before announcing the quarantine reduction. Authorities previously said they would give a red code to people who are infected and yellow to arrivals from overseas under medical surveillance.
