    Guided Discovery method and its implications There are plentiful pedagogical models that educators refer to. Teachers in general and science educators specifically are mostly familiar with three prevailing instructional models: Direct Instruction, Mastery Learning, and the Guided Discovery (Douglas, 2010). Direct instruction involves practiced-based, behaviorist approach where the teacher provides instructions, followed by practicing the skills under the supervision of the teacher. In Guided Discovery the teacher takes a less centered position. Teacher builds up a series of rationally designed questions which stimulates students thinking. The teacher role is more like a coordinator poses questions to extend students thinking and direct them to other resources of information related to the problem. Eventually, the student will come to realize a prearranged, united model. Guided discovery is a teaching style that can be applied in every class, not only science and math. It is a quick and well-organized way to get the student motivated. Involving students in building the theory about the lesson and investigating its aspects by themselves, guarantees that they will remember most of it. People are generally better persuaded by the reasons which they have themselves discovered than by those which have come in to the mind of others. Blaise Pascal. Learners are expected to adjust any new concept into their previous schemas, reconstructing the framework of knowledge so it can make sense of the new perceptions, but many students cant do this effectively while listening to lectures, for them, active erection of knowledge must be facilitated by the instructor only. Guided-discovery evokes the brain's innate desirability and enthusiasm toward rational and dynamic tasks. Students learn the concepts and more; they recognize their aptitude of progressively solve what always seemed unsolvable. Guided discovery is a teaching technique can be used not only in high education, but also in elementary schools; The main goal of Guided Discovery is to establish interest and excitement about the topic being taught, hence, Introducing a closed box or a covered picture and encourage the children to guess what is it, by giving them some hints is an example of guided discovery. Collectively, guided discovery is a way to focus students' attention on the lesson, assess what do they know and what they have to know, select and design strategies and plans, map various ways to solve or analyze a task, emphasize attributes in decision making, and enhance several habits of minds like creativity and imagination.
