    What Is Meant by Inductive Method

    The inductive method involves presenting learners with specific examples, observations, or facts and asking them to deduce general rules or conclusions. It is a "bottom-up" approach where learners detect patterns in examples to form their own generalizations. Some advantages are that it more actively engages learners and allows them to build on their own experiences. In contrast, the deductive method presents learners with general rules first and then applies them through examples and practice.

    What is meant by inductive method?

    Inductive reasoning, or inductive logic, is a type of reasoning that involves drawing a


    general conclusion from a set of specific observations. Some people think
    of inductive reasoning as “bottom-up” logic, because it involves widening specific
    premises out into broader generalizations.

    What is the meaning of inductive?


    Inductive is an adjective form of the verb induct, meaning to bring about or bring in.
    Simply put, inductive reasoning involves using specific observations, evidence, or
    patterns to make a broad conclusion.

    Advantages of Inductive Method  The learners are more engaged in the teaching-
    learning process. With our facilitating skills, the learners formulate the generalization or rule. 
    Learning becomes more interesting at the outset because we begin with the experiences of our
    students. We begin with what they know.

    What are examples of inductive and deductive reasoning?


    Inductive Reasoning: Most of our snowstorms come from the north. It's starting to
    snow. This snowstorm must be coming from the north. Deductive Reasoning: All of our
    snowstorms come from the north.

    What is inductive and deductive method of teaching?


    A deductive approach involves the learners being given a general rule, which is then
    applied to specific language examples and honed through practice exercises.
    An inductive approach involves the learners detecting, or noticing, patterns and
    working out a 'rule' for themselves before they practise the language.

    Definition & Examples of Inductive Reasoning

    Inductive reasoning is a type of logical thinking that involves forming generalizations


    based on specific incidents you've experienced, observations you've made, or
    facts you know to be true or false.
    Meaning:
         The inductive method of teaching means that the teacher presents the rule
    through situations and sentences and does guided practice, then the learners
    do free practice. After that, the teacher deduces or elicits the rule form from
    the learners themselves by themselves.

        An inductive approach to teaching language starts with examples and asks
    learners to find rules. It can be compared with a deductive approach that
    starts by giving learners rules, then examples, then practice.

    Example

    Learners listen to a conversation that includes examples of the use of the third
    conditional. The teacher checks that the students understand the meaning of
    its use through checking learners' comprehension of the listening text, and
    only after this focuses on the form, using the examples from the text to elicit
    rules about the form, its use and its pronunciation.

    In the classroom

    Inductive approaches to presenting new language are commonly found in


    course books, and form part of a general strategy to engage learners in what
    they learn. Some learners may need introduction to inductive approaches
    since they may be more familiar, and feel more comfortable, with a deductive
    approach. The deductive method of teaching means that the teacher presents
    the rule, gives a model, then the learners do free practice and answer
    exercises.
                            
      Definitions:
    Induction:
           From The Oxford English Dictionary (OED); to induce (in relation to
    science and logic) means “to derive by reasoning, to lead to something as a
    conclusion, or inference, to suggest or imply,” and induction “as the process of
    inferring a general law or principle from observation of particular instances.”

    Abduction:
        Another version is the “adducing (pulling together) of a number of separate
    facts, particulars, etc. especially for the purpose of proving a general
    statement.”

    Deduction:
         The OED definition of to deduce is “to show or hold a thing to be derived
    from etc…” or “to draw as a conclusion from something known or assumed, to
    infer”;
        Deduction thus, is “inference by reasoning from generals to particulars,” or
    “the process of deducing from something known or assumed…”

    Differences:
    Induction and deduction are pervasive elements in critical thinking. They are
    also some what misunderstood terms.Arguments based on experience or
    observation are best expressed inductively, while arguments based on laws or
    rules are best expressed deductively.Most arguments are mainly inductive. In
    fact, inductive reasoning usually comes much more naturally to us than
    deductive reasoning.
        Inductive reasoning moves from specific details and observations to the
    lore general underlying principles or processes that explain them(e.g.,
    newton"s law of Gravity). The premises of an inductive argument  are believed
    to support the conclusion, but don't ensure it. Thus, the conclusion of an
    induction is regarded as a hypothesis.In the inductive method, also called the
    scientific method, observation of nature is the authority.
         In contrast, deductive reasoning typically moves general treuths to specific
    conclusion. It opens with an expansive explanation and continues with
    predication for specific observations supporting it.Deductive reasoning is
    narrow in nature and is concerned with testing or confirming a hypothesis.

         Deductive reasoning leads to a confirmation(or not) of our original theories.


    It guarantees the correctness of a conclusion. Logic is the authority in the
    deductive method.

    Comparison:
     
    Deductive reasoning:
            Deductive reasoning works from the "general" to the "specific". This is
    also called a "top-down" approach. The deductive reasoning works as follows:
    think of a theory about topic and then narrow it down to specific hypothesis
    (hypothesis that we test or can test). Narrow down further if we would like to
    collect observations for hypothesis (note that we collect observations to
    accept or reject hypothesis and the reason we do that is to confirm or refute
    our original theory).
           In a conclusion, when we use deduction we reason from general
    principles to specific cases, as in applying a mathematical theorem to a
    particular problem or in citing a law or physics to predict the outcome of an
    experiment.

    Inductive reasoning:

           Inductive reasoning works the other way, it works from observation (or
    observations) works toward generalizations and theories. This is also called a
    “bottom-up  approach. Inductive reason starts from specific observations ,
    look for patterns, regularities (or irregularities), formulate hypothesis that we
    could work with and finally ended up developing general theories or drawing
    conclusion.
          In a conclusion, when we use Induction we observe a number of specific
    instances and from them infer a general principle or law. Inductive reasoning
    is open-ended and exploratory especially at the beginning. On the other hand,
    deductive reasoning is narrow in nature and is concerned with testing or
    confirming hypothesis.

    Properties of Deduction
         In a valid deductive argument, all of the content of the conclusion is
    present, at least implicitly, in the premises. Deduction is non ampliative. If the
    premises are true, the conclusion must be true. Valid deduction is necessarily
    truth preserving.
         If new premises are added to a valid deductive argument (and none of its
    premises are changed or deleted) the argument remains valid. Deductive
    validity is an all-or-nothing matter; validity does not come in degrees. An
    argument is totally valid, or it is invalid.

    Properties of Induction:
           Induction is ampliative. The conclusion of an inductive argument has
    content that goes beyond the content of its premises. A correct inductive
    argument may have true premises and a false conclusion. Induction is not
    necessarily truth preserving.
