Editor's Notes

  1. Instructor’s road map of: what students need to learn how it will be done effectively during the class time Successful lesson plan addresses and integrates these three key components: Objectives for student learning Teaching/learning activities Strategies to check student understanding Then start a discussion on what are the elements of a lesson plan
  2. http://www.crlt.umich.edu/gsis/p2_5
  3. Information about the learners: Ability and interest levels Backgrounds Attention spans Ability to work together in groups Prior knowledge and learning experiences Learning styles & preferences
  4. Why? Facilitate course development through objective-directed planning Inform students of the expectations of course Guide the development of instructional activities Guide the development of assessments and evaluations Characteristics: Specific and focused Targets performance Realistic to achieve Can be measured and validated Time-bound with a deadline
  5. By Plutarch Taxonomy” simply means “classification” or “categorization”. Bloom's Taxonomy is a classification of learning objectives within education proposed in 1956 by a committee of educators chaired by Benjamin Bloom  Let me share the background… Though it was named after Bloom, this publication followed a series of conferences which were designed to improve communication between educators on the design of curricula and examinations. Educators expressed interest in a theoretical framework which could be used to facilitate communication among examiners. They felt that such a framework will help to promote the exchange of test materials and ideas about testing. After considerable discussion, there was agreement that such a theoretical framework might best be obtained through a system of classifying the goals of the educational process, since educational objectives provide the basis for building curricula and tests and represent the starting point for much of our educational research
  6. Great scientists researched on what really made people think and what did not require much of thinking and came up with taxonomies like Bloom’s, Flink’s and SOLO (Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes). It refers to a classification of the different objectives that educators set for students. 1950s- developed by Benjamin Bloom. Means of expressing qualitatively different kinds of thinking Bloom's Taxonomy divides educational activities into three "domains": Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor (sometimes loosely described asknowing/head, feeling/heart and doing/hands respectively). The Cognitive domain has received most attention both in Anderson/Bloom’s and others’ taxonomies. We will talk about soon. Cognitive: widely cited representation of Bloom's Taxonomy and the one most valued by educators. Skills revolve around knowledge, comprehension, and critical thinking of a particular topic.  Affective: Skills in the affective domain describe the way people react emotionally and their ability to feel another living thing's pain or joy. Affective objectives typically target the awareness and growth in attitudes, emotion, and feelings. Psychomotor: Skills in the psychomotor domain describe the ability to physically manipulate a tool or instrument like a hand or a hammer. Psychomotor objectives usually focus on change and/or development in behavior and/or skills. A goal of Bloom's Taxonomy is to motivate educators to focus on all three domains, creating a more holistic form of education
  7. Describe the knowledge that learners are to acquire This is what Bloom proposed in cognitive domain. Within each domain, learning at higher level is dependent on having prerequisite knowledge and skills at lower levels. You can not understand a concept if you do not first remember it, similarly you can not apply knowledge and concepts if you do not understand them. These thinking skills were further grouped into two categories, lower order thinking skills and higher order thinking skills. Knowledge and Comprehension are among lower order thinking skills and the others are higher order ones.
  8. Lorin Anderson’s revised Taxonomy: According to him, as the taxonomy reflects different forms of thinking and thinking is an active process verbs were more accurate and better reflect the nature of the thinking described by each category. Knowledge is a product of thinking and was inappropriate to describe a category of thinking and was replaced with the word remembering instead. Remembering: This is a fairly straight forward task for the brain, this kind of thinking is very useful for quizzes, mental maths warm-ups and trying to join in with ‘kaun banega karodpathi’. It’s the ‘you either know it or you don’t type of thinking’. This involves the recall of a wide range of material, from specific facts to complete theories. Example: meaning of motivation Learning outcomes: Knowledge represents the lowest level of learning outcomes in the cognitive domain. It may be at the bottom of the pile, but it’s very important for learning; it is the prior knowledge on which you will build future learning. Understanding: The second level, Understanding, takes us another step. Here, we are checking for understanding (meaning, translation, interpolation and interpretation of instructions and problems). State a problem in one's own words. We might do this by asking students to paraphrase a theory rather than simply recite it. This may be shown by translating material from one form to another (words to numbers), by interpreting material (explaining or summarizing). Example: Understand one of the existing motivation theories The learning outcomes go one step beyond the simple remembering of material, and represent the lowest level of understanding. Applying: Use a concept in a new situation. Here student applies what was learned in the classroom into novel and unfamiliar situations. Includes application of rules, methods, concepts, principles, laws and theories Learning outcomes in this area require a higher level of understanding than those under comprehension. Analysing: ability to break down material into its component parts so that its organizational structure may be understood. It is one of the key scienfitic instuments that we use in computer science. Includes the identification of parts, analysis of the relationship between parts, and recognition of the organizational principles involved. Learning outcomes here represent a higher intellectual level than comprehension and application because they require an understanding of both the content and the structural form of the material. Evaluating: Evaluation involves intelligent critiquing of a product (could be a particular version of camera, novel, poem), a process, statement, research report, or a theory. The judgments are to be based on definite criteria. These may be internal criteria (organization) or external criteria (relevance to the purpose) and the student may determine the criteria or be given them. Learning outcomes in this area contain elements of all the other categories, plus conscious value judgments based on clearly defined criteria. Creating: refers to the ability to put parts together to form a new whole. This is a mirror image of Analysis. Instead of breaking things down into their constituent elements, with Synthesis we are building them back up. Apply prior knowledge and skills to combine elements to form new ideas, new theories, or new creations. Often it is a design process. give a well organized speech, write a creative short story (or poem or music), formulate a new scheme for classify objects (or events, or ideas). This may involve the production of a unique communication (theme or speech), a plan of operations (research proposal), or a set of abstract relations (scheme for classifying information). Learning outcomes in this area are highest in the cognitive hierarchy because they stress creative behaviours, with major emphasis on the formulation of new patterns or structure.

Learning outcomes in this area are highest in the cognitive hierarchy because they stress creative behaviours, with major emphasis on the formulation of new patterns or structure.
  10. Now we have our learning objectives in order of their importance. Because you will have a diverse body of students with different academic and personal experiences, they may already be familiar with the topic. That is why you might start with a question or activity to gauge students’ knowledge of the subject or possibly, their preconceived notions about it. You can also gather background information from your students prior to class by sending students an electronic survey or asking them to write comments on a small paper and give it to you. This additional information can help shape your introduction, learning activities, etc.  You will also have a sense of what to focus on. Next, develop a creative introduction to the topic to stimulate interest and encourage thinking. You can use a variety of approaches to engage students. Ask audience. (e.g., personal anecdote, historical event, thought-provoking dilemma, real-world example, short video clip, practical application, probing question, etc.). Consider the following questions when planning your introduction: How will I check whether students know anything about the topic or have any preconceived notions about it? What are some commonly held ideas (or possibly misconceptions) about this topic that students might be familiar with or might espouse? What will I do to introduce the topic? preconceived notion: an opinion formed beforehand without adequate evidence personal anecdote : A short account of an interesting or humorous incident ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check the familiarity of the topic With a question/activity/electronic survey Preconceived notions about the subject? Develop creative introduction to stimulate interest and encourage thinking Variety of approaches
  11. Use Instructional Materials Text Books Power point presentations Journal articles Multimedia materials: Instructional audio/video Rubric Prepare specific learning activities: Prepare several different ways of explaining the material (real-life examples, analogies, visuals, etc.) to catch the attention of more students and appeal to different learning styles. Think about: What will I do to illustrate the topic in a different way? What are some relevant real-life examples, analogies, or situations that can help students understand the topic? While designing the learning activities think about: How to engage students in the topic? What will students need to do to help them understand the topic better ------------------------------------- Prepare several different ways of explaining the material (real-life examples, analogies, visuals, etc.) to catch the attention of more students and appeal to different learning styles. As you plan your examples and activities, estimate how much time you will spend on each. Build in time for extended explanation or discussion, but also be prepared to move on quickly to different applications or problems, and to identify strategies that check for understanding. These questions would help you design the learning activities you will use: What will I do to explain the topic? What will I do to illustrate the topic in a different way? How can I engage students in the topic? What are some relevant real-life examples, analogies, or situations that can help students understand the topic? What will students need to do to help them understand the topic better?
  12. “A good teacher makes you think even when you don’t want to“ Now that you have explained the topic and illustrated it with different examples, you need to check for student understanding – how will you know that students are learning? Think about specific questions you can ask students in order to check for understanding, write them down, and then paraphrase them so that you are prepared to ask the questions in different ways. Going back to my list of learning objectives, what activity can I have students do to check whether each of those has been accomplished? An important strategy that will also help you with time management is to anticipate students’ questions. When planning your lesson, decide what kinds of questions will be productive for discussion and what questions might sidetrack the class. Think about and decide on the balance between covering content (accomplishing your learning objectives) and ensuring that students understand. Assess understanding Are students learning? Ask questions Check against learning objectives Anticipate questions: productive/non-productive?
  13. How is this study like another you/we have read? This question encourages students to make connections and see analogies. · Does this story/information make you aware of any problems that need attention? This amounts to asking students to see themselves as active participants in problem identification as well as problem solving. · What does this mean to you and how might it affect others? This pair of questions gives students a chance to express their own interests but also to empathetically consider and understand the views of, and possible consequences to, others. · Is there anything wrong with this solution, and how else might this problem be solved? These questions are the heart of successful critical analysis. · What more needs to be known or done to understand or do this better? This is a pointed request for creative problem solving that invites thinking “beyond the lines.” · What is a contrary way of seeing this? Being able to examine issues from multiple points of view helps the students to clarify their thoughts. http://pedagogy-thorndon.wikispaces.com/Pedagogy+4++Thinking http://www.pgcps.pg.k12.md.us/~elc/isquestion2.html http://xnet.rrc.mb.ca/glenh/hots.htm http://ylapp.edublogs.org/files/2009/11/hots_questions.pdf http://education.stateuniversity.com/pages/1836/Classroom-Questions.html Lower level questions are those at the remembering, understanding and lower level application levels of the taxonomy. Usually questions at the lower levels are appropriate for: Evaluating students’ preparation and comprehension Diagnosing students’ strengths and weaknesses Reviewing and/or summarizing content Higher level questions are those requiring complex application, analysis, evaluation or creation skills. Questions at higher levels of the taxonomy are usually most appropriate for: Encouraging students to think more deeply and critically Problem solving Encouraging discussions Stimulating students to seek information on their own
  14. Why? - Ask the participants Questions at lower levels are appropriate for: Evaluating students’ preparation and comprehension Diagnosing students’ strengths and weaknesses Reviewing and/or summarizing content Questions at higher levels are appropriate for: Encouraging students to think more deeply and critically Stimulating students to seek information on their own Problem solving Encouraging discussions
  15. Newton’s laws of motion: For example, we might ask students whose three laws of motion underlie much of classical physics (Sir Isaac Newton). Travel: How many ways can you travel from one place to another? List and draw all the ways you know. Describe one of the vehicles from your list, draw a diagram and label the parts. Collect “transport” pictures from magazines- make a poster with info.

  17. Newton’s laws: For example, we could ask them to explain what Newton’s third law of motion means. Travel: How do you get from school to home? Explain the method of travel and draw a map.
  18. Newton’s laws: 1st law: car turns left and you appear to slide to the right; the difficulty of pushing a dead car Travel: Explain why some vehicles are large and others small. Write a story about the uses of both.
  19. Newton’s laws: When Sir Isaac Newton formulated his third law of motion, he had to analyze which factors most affected objects in motion, and he came up with mass and acceleration as the two that contributed to the force imparted by moving objects. Travel: What problems are there with modern forms of transport and their uses- write a report. Use a Venn Diagram to compare boats to planes, or helicopters to bicycles.
  20. Newton’s laws: For example, Einstein evaluated the Newton’s formulations about the universe and knew that his laws did not fully explain all phenomena. Einstein’s theory of relativity was developed to explain aspects of physics that Newton’s laws did not account for. Travel: What changes would you recommend to road rules to prevent traffic accidents? Debate whether we should be able to buy fuel at a cheaper rate. Rate transport from slow to fast etc..
  21. Newton’s laws: Newton was able to synthesize what was known about the force with which objects move into a formula that established the relationship between the critical variables (F=ma). Travel: Invent a vehicle. Draw or construct it after careful planning. What sort of transport will there be in twenty years time? Discuss, write about it and report to the class.
  22. Develop a conclusion & a preview Summarize State main points Ask student to summarize Ask all students to write down Review Gauge their understanding Explain again if necessary Preview the next lesson Relate to the next lesson Spurs student’s interest Connect ideas in larger context
  23. Create a realistic timeline Why? Students may need something else A realistic timeline reflects your flexibility and readiness to adapt to the specific classroom environment Strategies Narrow down list of learning objectives Estimate time for each activity, plan extra time Indicate time in lesson plan Plan for questions at end of class Plan extra activity or discussion Be flexible
  24. You can share your lesson plan by writing a brief agenda on the board or telling students explicitly what they will be learning and doing in class. You can outline on the board or on a handout the learning objectives for the class Providing a meaningful organization of the class time can help students not only remember better, but also follow your presentation and understand the rationale behind in-class activities. Having a clearly visible agenda (e.g., on the board) will also help you and students stay on track
  25. A lesson plan may not work as well as you had expected due to a number of extraneous circumstances. You should not get discouraged – it happens to even the most experienced teachers! Take a few minutes after each class to reflect on what worked well and why what you could have done differently For additional feedback on planning and managing class time, you can use the following resources: student feedback, peer observation, viewing a videotape of your teaching, and consultation with a senior staff member Identifying successful and less successful organization of class time and activities would make it easier to adjust to the contingencies of the classroom
  26. Complete objectives … State what the student will be able to do (observable behavior) With the conditions under which they should be able to demonstrate (condition) Under the expected degree of proficiency (criterion)
