This is the fourth out of a series of blogs explaining Mosston & Ashworth's Spectrum of Teaching Styles. In this blog, we explain the Reciprocal Style of teaching from the Spectrum of Teaching Styles.

Today we (Risto and Alba) will talk about Style B-The Practice style. The practice style is the first one in the Spectrum that involves the learner making some decisions. So, this is the initiation of students’ independence and decision-making process in the teaching and learning environment. learners make nine specific decisions about the pace and rhythm that they practice the task, which is set by the teacher, the location where they will practice, with whom in the classroom they practice, and the time they will practice, meaning when they will start and stop practicing. We see a lot of this in PE when the teacher sets the task and students practice on their own in the gym and then the teacher walks around and gives a lot of individual feedback.
