The DPPC Method--An Opposing View
Boersig, Teresa M.
School Science and Mathematics, 73, 8, 641-645, Nov 73
Criticizes the DPPC Method (Direct, Pure, Piecemeal, and Complete) of mathematics instruction which is designed to enable the lower ninety percent to become proficient in problem solving. Suggests that this method is deceptive since students learn to follow a prescribed recipe rather than becoming problem solvers. (JR)
