4.2. Meaning of instruction

Instruction is a concept closely related to teaching, but it is more specific. It specifically refers to the deliberate act of delivering knowledge or skills, usually in a structured and systematic way. Instruction involves direct communication of information, such as explaining, demonstrating, or giving directions.

It focuses more on the “how” of content delivery within the broader teaching process. Instruction is a component of teaching. While teaching encompasses the full educational experience, instruction deals specifically with how lessons are presented to help learners acquire knowledge, skills and values.
