Term

Guided discovery

Teaching through structured tasks and questions that help the learner find useful solutions.

GLOSSARY · Learning, analysis & assessment

In guided discovery the coach sets tasks and asks questions — "what happens if you look further ahead?" — so the rider finds the solution themselves. It builds understanding and adaptable riding.

Context and distinction

Guided discovery lets the rider find the answer; direct instruction gives it. Both are valid teaching methods.
