Week Four - Reflection

Week Four Reflection


This week started by reviewing a questionnaire that we took. VARK is the name of this tool and this questionnaire tested to see what kind of learner that we are.
V – Visual
A – Aural
R – Read/Write
K – Kinesthetic
I found that I am a MULTIMODAL Learner, which means that I learn in various ways.
Here is a link, if you so desire to answer a few questions to find out what kind of learner that you are.                    
(Insert VARK link)

We continued by looking into THE ASSURE MODEL LESSON PLAN.

What I learned

The ASSURE model lesson plan
·         Six Components:
1.      Analyze Learners                                                                                  A
2.      State Objectives                                                                                     S
3.      Select Media, Materials and Methods.                                            S
4.      Utilize Media and Materials                                                              U
5.      Require learner’s participation: notetaking, interaction etc.  R
6.      Evaluate and Revise                                                                             E
A.      Analyze Learners:
·         # of students
·         # of male/female
·         Age range
·         Mental, social, physical disabilities
·         Learning differences
·         Cultural/ethnic notes etc.
·         Current knowledge: prerequisites and notes about learner’s attitude
·         Learning Styles: Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic

B.      State Objectives
·         Three objectives
·         Must be attainable and measurable
·         A, B, C, D’s of strong objectives are included.
§  A-Action, Audience
§  B- Behavior
§  C- Condition
§  D- Degree
·         Types of Objectives: Behavioral, Cognitive, Affective, Process, Expressive
·         Three ways of writing your objectives: Knowledge, Skills, Attitude

C.      Select Media, Materials and Methods

·         Media in terms of what you will be using to convey your lesson points
·         Materials refers to the manipulatives use during your lesson.
·         Methods are the strategies used to teach the lesson.

D.     Utilize Media, Materials and Methods

·         This section consists of the introduction, procedure and the development.
·         Keep in mind that your objectives are in line with whatever procedures you are following.

E.      Require Learners’ Participation
·         In this step, you are explaining how you get the learners to participate in the class. Whether by whole class, groups or independently.

F.      Evaluate and Revise

·         In this step, you choose your method of assessment. Highlighting three areas in this section to evaluate, which are the process, performance of your learners and the product.
·         Also, include any rubric or scoring scheme used.


Ø  The curriculum is a guideline, the objectives listed there will help you write your own objectives.
Ø  Involve someone else in your lesson planning.
Ø  The media is what conveys the materials.
Ø  Methods: Dictation is a method of direct instruction, Notetaking, Discussion, Lecture etc.
Ø  Gagne Nine Steps of Instruction=Traditional lesson plan Structure
Ø  Introduction: Gain their attention, Recap, Activity
Ø  Integration of Technology is a method e.g. Videos, Word documents etc.
Ø  Use a rubric, checklist to evaluate students work
Ø  Three domains of learning/instructional/specific/behavioral/ objectives
·         K- Knowledge – cognitive
·         S – Skills – Psychomotor
·         A – Attitude – Affective
Ø  Objectives examples:
1.      While viewing a video on blossom’s taxonomy, students will be able to differentiate between the old and new version of the taxonomy.
2.      Students will be able to, identify at least three levels of the cognitive domain, after viewing a video on blossom’s taxonomy.
3.      In their own words, students will be able to discuss blossom’s taxonomy and the importance in writing instructional objectives.

Ø  Blossom Taxonomy 1950’s vs the revised 2001 Version





1.      Three levels of the Cognitive Domain are: Remembering, Analyzing and Creating
2.      Old Version: Nouns, The Fifth stage is Synthesis and the sixth is Evaluation.
3.      Revised Version: Verbs, the fifth stage is Evaluating and the sixth is Creating.

We didn’t have any task to accomplish, we simply looked at a few examples of the lesson plan model and watch a video.
