Answer to Question 1

First, lectures put learners in cognitively passive roles, and cognitive activity is essential for learning. Second, lectures can easily overload learners' working memories, and third, lectures don't provide any provision for checking students' perceptions. Finally, lectures often fail to effectively maintain student attention, and if students aren't paying attention, they can't learn.

Answer to Question 2

Developing understanding, as the label implies, is the most important phase of the direct instruction model. It sets the tone for both guided and independent practice. If students don't understand the skill, practice is ineffective.
