The required instruction given to a Student Pilot (PP) is not
Instrument Flight Instruction. The FAA uses different terminology
to distinguish it from Instrument Flight Training as follows:

(3) 3 hours of flight training in a single-engine airplane on the
control and maneuvering of an airplane solely by reference to
instruments, including straight and level flight, constant airspeed
climbs and descents, turns to a heading, recovery from unusual flight
attitudes, radio communications, and the use of navigation
systems/facilities and radar services appropriate to instrument
flight;
