Abstract

A group consisting of the 60 teachers having maximum five years of ser was chosen so that the teaching methods of the high school teachers of the prov of Kerman may be investigated. The necessary data and information was gathi using a questionnaire including 221 questions.
The analysis of data shows that teachers have attributed the success of students mainly to the understanding of concepts, principles and strategies, repetitious individual studies, and the ability to represent reasons for conclus and solutions, and the teachers have put emphasis on the students textbooks preparation and provision of the new lesson.
Although the teachers have asked their students to represent reasons w discussing, but it has rarely happened that they lead the students to work upon problems which have no evident solutions and they have rarely referred the stud to the scientific resources for finding the answer of some questions.
The teachers have selected their subject matter and content from textbook and have mainly relied on individual and personal experiences to represent materials.
On the whole, the teachers have spent the 90 minute time of a class reviewing the lesson. The student answering the teacher's questions from the previous lesson introduction and introducing the new subject by the teacher's explanation developing the subject among students, solution of different exercises and practices in the class, and the assignment of homework for the future (according to this order and manner, teachers have acted and spent the time of class).
What the teachers have accordingly done has correspondence with the direct teaching in contemplate of Rosenshine (1983). But shows a considerable difference compared with the conception and steps of the indirect teaching. Of course and .11 that teachers do, is congruent and coordinated with the representing materials to hem in the training courses and all that they have observed and witnessed it practically, but it is necessary that much efforts should be done so that the teachers nay become familiar with the indirect methods in their training courses.
