Abstract
Childhood education is an issue of overwhelming importance, so it is no surprise that schools, governments, parents, and teachers have closely examined child psychology, social psychology, and even neurology in order to determine how school curricula should be best developed. Early theories of transmission have been superceded by constructivist theories and by theories of direct instruction (DI), but too often the theories that inform learning in the classroom are chosen for reasons other than effectiveness. Ease of use, social necessities, and an orientation toward the very best achievers as opposed to the "average" student, for example, have all led to constructivism being touted as the psychological theory upon which school learning should be based, even though learning often fails. direct instruction is likely a better theoretical basis upon which to create school curricula and teacher training
