"Explicit instruction works far better than discovery learning when students don’t already know much about a topic. Learning necessarily involves effort; many young people may choose not to expend that effort if they don’t have to. And while giving kids choice can help motivate them, they can’t choose to learn about topics they’re unaware of. They need to be introduced to new subjects in an engaging way, preferably when they’re young and eager to learn about the world, so they can discover new interests.
Once students have some knowledge of a topic—along with skills like being able to read words—giving them more choice and autonomy could work."
