Instructional strategies refer to methods and approaches used by educators to facilitate learning and enhance student engagement in a classroom setting. These strategies can include a wide range of techniques such as direct instruction, cooperative learning, inquiry-based learning, project-based learning, and others. The goal of instructional strategies is to create a more effective and interactive learning environment that helps students acquire and retain knowledge, develop critical thinking skills, and achieve learning objectives. Educators often tailor their instructional strategies to suit the unique needs and learning styles of their students, as well as the subject matter being taught.
