Instructional theory

Instructional theory is a way of thinking about the best way to teach someone something. It helps teachers figure out what to do and say in the classroom to make sure that students learn the material. One way instructional theory helps teachers is by suggesting how to make the material interesting and easy to understand. It also suggests how to make sure that students practice and review the material in a way that helps them remember it.
