Lesson 5
Activity 1. Instructional Planning

1. How do you plan for instruction? Describe the process you do.
Answer:
Well in order for me to be a successful teacher, I do first is to identify what
is needed to be taught or what are my learning objectives, then plan on how I can
lay down the lesson gradually for my students to cope up easily or gain
knowledge efficiently. Also I would plan on how I can assess their learning base
on what activities I prepared or their evaluation. And finish it up with a
assignment.
Activity 2. The Elements of Effective Instruction

The Great Schools Partnership has developed the Elements of Effective Instruction framework that
identifies five elements of instructional practice. When integrated into learning experiences, these
elements promote student engagement and academic achievement. Provide description for each element
below.
Learning environment
- For me learning environment is the place where learning happens, and if
learning does not occur or render unsatisfactory, it is either the teacher has
failed due to lack of preparations or the learning environment is not suitable
for learning or the students. Mostly the learning environment is called the
school or its classroom.
Clear, shared outcomes

- Well based on my understanding it is the outcome based on the students
learning. Also sometimes the teacher also has an outcome based on the
students learning, this may help a teacher and serves as a guide on what to
do or what evaluation, materials, and assignment is supposed to be given.
Varied content, materials and methods of instruction

- This serves as the process of teaching, involving the content to be learned or
the essential content to achieve the learning outcomes, the materials needed
to uplift the process and quality of learning, and last the methods or shall I call
it how does the teacher deal with it.
Practice and feedback

- From my point of view this two can be considerably or commonly known as
practice test and evaluation. We all know that this give us the feedback we
wanted as a teacher on how our students cope up or learned in our lessons.
Complex thinking and transfer

- Assessment and evaluation promotes or build up complex thinking integration
of ideas, variation of knowledge, and application of newly learned skills. Also
assessment and evaluation can gauge the transfer of ideas and knowledge
through learning.
Activity 3. The Nine Events of Instruction

Robert Gagne developed Nine Events of Instruction that has guided trainers and educators in designing
instruction for trainings and classroom-based teaching.
1) Gaining attention (reception)

2) Informing learners of the objective (expectancy)
3) Stimulating recall of prior learning (retrieval)
4) Presenting the stimulus (selective perception)
5) Providing learning guidance (semantic encoding)
6) Eliciting performance (responding)
7) Providing feedback (reinforcement)
8) Assessing performance (retrieval)
9) Enhancing retention and transfer (generalization)
Answer the following questions:
1. Which of the nine events do you include in your instructional planning?

Answer:
I include all of this, I do believe that this events in lesson is an essential to
put through.
2. What do you consider in choosing these priorities?

Answer:
What I consider the most is efficacy of the learning and transfer of ideas.
Well as a teacher it is our job to make sure that our students receive the outmost
quality of learning we can give with all the resources we can put our hand in.
3. Which is the most important and why?

Answer:
For me it is gaining attention (reception) well the only reason why it is
placed on the front show us how important this process is. This process would
help us allot with how the learning can proceed and mostly how does the learning
outcome would be. Inattentive students would surely lose focus or no focus at all,
and would serve as a destruction for those who are willing and attentive students.
Inattentive students also would tend to degrade the learning environment which
can affect the transfer of knowledge and sometimes a teacher’s confidence.
Activity 4. The Constructivist Teaching Strategies

Answer the following questions:
1. What is the importance of instructional planning?

Answer:
Well for me instructional planning or lesson planning is a way of preparing
on how to deal with the lesson and preparing a flow making it easier for the
students to learn. This also serves as a guide on how the lesson should flow,
also in instructional planning it gives us the objective goal or learning outcomes
we are hoping the students should develop or learn after the process.
2. What is the importance of planning for elementary science?

Answer:
Well science would have seem to be rather hard for pupils to learn. Some
lesson should be given to them with ease or it may have given them a bad
impact.
