SYSTEMATIC PLANNING 
FOR MEDIA USE
MEDIA SELECTION 
• If we want to use media effectively we 
must plan systematically for their use 
• ASSURE MODEL
ASSURE MODEL 
• ASSURE MODEL – to assure effective 
use of media 
• ASSURE MODEL – focuses on planning 
classroom use of media
ASSURE MODEL (Analyze learners) 
1) Analyze learners 
- General characteristics 
- Specific entry competencies 
- Learning styles
ASSURE MODEL (Analyze learners) 
1) General characteristics 
- Demographic background 
2) Specific entry competencies 
- Pre-requisite knowledge or skill to begin 
the lesson 
- Formal (standardized test) 
- Informal (in-class questioning/ out-class 
interview
ASSURE MODEL (Analyze learners) 
3) Learning styles 
- a cluster of psychological traits that 
determine how individual perceives, 
interacts with, and responds emotionally to 
leaning environment
ASSURE MODEL (State objectives) 
- Instructional objectives 
- Why?? 
- objectives will make us to select 
appropriate methods and media 
- it will lead us to create a learning 
environment so that the objectives can be 
reached
ASSURE MODEL (State objectives) 
The ABCDs of Well-stated Objectives 
1) Audience 
2) Behaviour – observable and measurable 
behaviour 
3) Conditions – under which the 
performance to be observed
ASSURE MODEL (State objectives) 
The ABCDs of Well-stated Objectives 
4) Degree – the acceptable performance 
will be judged 
- quantitative : time and accuracy 
- qualitative : e.g. a sample of answer
ASSURE MODEL (State objectives) 
Classifications of objectives – Blooms’ 
1) Cognitive domain – involves an array of 
intellectual capabilities 
2) Affective domain – involves feeling and 
values (encouraging healthy social 
attitudes, adopting a set of ethical 
standards)
ASSURE MODEL (State objectives) 
Classifications of objectives – Blooms’ 
3) Psychomotor domain – involves 
athletic, manual and other physical 
skills
ASSURE MODEL (State objectives) 
• OBJECTIVES – are not intended to limit 
what a student learns 
• OBJECTIVES – provide a minimum level 
of expected achievement 
• Acknowledge individual differences in 
stating the objectives
ASSURE MODEL (Select Methods, 
media and materials) 
3 steps: 
1) Choosing a method 
2) Choosing a media format 
3) Obtaining specific materials
ASSURE MODEL (Select Methods, 
media and materials) 
1) Deciding on the appropriate teaching 
methods – Lecture?? Simulation? 
Discussion?? 
- we will probably incorporate two or 
more methods
ASSURE MODEL (Select Methods, 
media and materials) 
2) Choosing a media format 
- the physical form in which a message is 
incorporated and displayed 
- Flip chart?? Slides?? Multimedia?? 
- Consider instructional setting or 
situation, learner variables, nature of 
the objectives
ASSURE MODEL (Select Methods, 
media and materials) 
3) Obtaining specific materials 
a) Selecting available materials 
- ‘off the shelf’: ready made and available 
- involving the Media Specialist
ASSURE MODEL (Select Methods, 
media and materials) 
3) Obtaining specific materials 
a) Selecting available materials 
Criteria: 
- does it match the curriculum? 
- Is it accurate and current? 
- does it contain clear and concise 
language?
ASSURE MODEL (Select Methods, 
media and materials) 
3) Obtaining specific materials 
a) Selecting available materials 
Criteria: 
- will it arouse motivation and maintain 
interest? 
- is it of good technical quality is there 
evidence of its effectiveness?
ASSURE MODEL (Select Methods, 
media and materials) 
3) Obtaining specific materials 
a) Selecting available materials 
Criteria: 
-is it free from objectionable bias and 
advertising? 
- is a user guide or other documentation 
included?
ASSURE MODEL (Select Methods, 
media and materials) 
3) Obtaining specific materials 
b) Modifying available materials 
-if we cannot locate entirely suitable 
materials off the shelf, we might be modify 
what is available 
WARNING: do not violate copyright laws 
and restrictions
ASSURE MODEL (Select Methods, 
media and materials) 
3) Obtaining specific materials 
c) Designing new materials 
Consider: 
- Objectives 
- Audience 
- Cost 
- Technical expertise – to design and 
produce the materials
ASSURE MODEL (Select Methods, 
media and materials) 
3) Obtaining specific materials 
c) Designing new materials 
Consider: 
- Equipment – to produce or use the 
materials 
- Facilities – available or not?? 
- Time – do have a time to design new 
materials??
ASSURE MODEL (Utilize Media and 
Materials) 
Follow the 5 Ps: 
1) Preview the materials 
- to avoid embarrassment 
- to avoid sensitive content 
2) Prepare the materials 
-determine in what sequence the materials 
will be used
ASSURE MODEL (Utilize Media and 
Materials) 
3) Prepare the environment 
- location 
- situation 
4) Prepare the learners 
Proper warm-up: 
-overview of the lesson, rationale of the 
lesson
ASSURE MODEL (Utilize Media and 
Materials) 
5) Provide the learning experience 
- showmanship 
- teacher centred or students centred??
ASSURE MODEL (Require learner 
participation) 
- Active participation in the learning process 
enhances learning 
- Participation may include: practicing new 
vocabulary, solving math problems on a 
worksheet, project paper 
- Some media formats can attract students 
to participate more than others
ASSURE MODEL (Evaluate and 
revise) 
1) Evaluation of learner achievement 
- whether the students are learned what 
supposed to be learned? 
- method of evaluation depending on the 
nature of the objectives
ASSURE MODEL (Evaluate and 
revise) 
2) Evaluation of Media and Methods 
- were the instructional media and method 
effective?? 
-could they be improved? 
-through: class discussion, interviews and 
observation of student behaviour
ASSURE MODEL (Evaluate and 
revise) 
Revision 
-Sit back and look at the results of our 
evaluation data gathering 
- where are there discrepancies between 
what we intended to happen and what did 
happen? 
- how did the students react to our 
materials? 
-are we satisfied with the materials?
