The deductive method is a traditional method of teaching language and/or grammar where rules are given by the teacher up front followed by corresponding examples. That learners get the terminology at first, then move on to understanding them with reference to the examples served. That means the learners do not have much to do as the teacher does it all from dropping the rules, giving examples and then explaining the rules with reference to the examples.
In the Deductive Teaching Method, the teacher's role is front and center in class. S/he does all the work here. S/he plans the lessons, serves the rules and examples in sequence before explaining the whole thing. S/he would also have to be ready to answer questions with a view to clearing any doubts there may be. 
In the Inductive Teaching Method, the teacher's role shifts to that of a guide. S/he is there to serve the examples and guide the learners' thoughts into the right direction. As the magic happens inside the learners' brains, s/he is the silent spectator or rather an apt conductor leading their thoughts home.
Participation of the Learners 
The participation of the learners in the Deductive Teaching Method is rather limited. They are mostly the silent listeners that ask a few questions here and there when they do not understand portions of the things explained. Listening and taking notes are the two big responsibilities they shoulder in class. 
In the Inductive Teaching Method, learners are given the center stage in the hopes of making the learning process more interactive and effective. The learners are tasked with a treasure hunt to figure the rules out themselves. It changes the class chemistry and allows the learners to put in some work so that they feel part of it. 
Rules and Examples
Staying in the situation of a grammar class, in the Deductive Teaching scenario, the rules or the structures come first and later followed by an explanation and a few examples to get a clear sense of it. In a more digestible sense, the solution comes before any problem ever arises so less scope to agitate the learners’ brains. 
On the contrary, the Inductive Method summons the resourcefulness of the learners by presenting the examples first then asking them to figure out the rules or structures from the examples. Since the examples are provided first, the learners’ are active and alert as soon as the examples hit the mark.
