Principles of Direct Instruction- Prinsip dalam Teknik Pengajaran Terus/Langsung
The most commonly used principles include:

Introduction/Review ( Pengenalan)

1. Topics or information to be learned is presented to the pupils or review of information sets the stage for learning.
   (Proses guru memperkenalkan topic dan maklumat kepada palajar)

Development ( Peningkatan)

1. Teacher provides clear explanations, descriptions, examples, or models of what is to be learned while checking for pupils' understanding through questioning.
   ( Guru menyediakan penerangan yang lengkap dan jelas, cirri –ciri, contoh dan model apa yang dipelajari oleh pelajar. Malah guru akan memeriksa kefahaman murid melalui soalan.)
   

Guided Practice ( Bimbingan)

1. Opportunities are provided to the pupils to practice what is expected to be learned while the teacher monitors the activities or tasks assigned.
   ( Guru turut memberi peluang kepada pelajar dalam mempraktiskan apa yang dipelajari dan tugas guru adalah memantau aktiviti serta tugasan yang diberikan kepada mereka.)
   

Closure ( Pendekatan)

1. Teachers conclude the lesson by wrapping up what was covered.
   ( Guru akan membuat kesimpulan dalam apa yang telah dia ajari pada pelajar )
   

Independent Practice (Praktis Secara Kendiri)

1. Assignments are given to reinforce the learning without teacher assistance.
   ( Pelajar diberi tugasan tanpa bantuan guru.)
   

Evaluation (Pengujian)

1. Assessment of pupil progress is conducted to determine levels of mastery
   (Peringkat dimana guru akan menguji pelajar bagi memastikan tahap penguasaan ilmu pengetahuan mereka.)
