Week 4:Using the ASSURE Model of lesson planning

I was absent for week four technology class. However, I  was informed on what took place in class


The class was about the VARK questionnaire and the ASSURE model of teaching and how it is used to state the objectives of a lesson which should be geared to reach all types of learners in the classroom. 

Task:

• Write specific objectives using the KSA method
• Editing blogs placing post on page so it could be viewed by others

What have I learnt:

•  VARK based model of learner: the objectives  must  cater for all types of children.

The assure model should be used when writing objectives.  Lessons must be Behavioural, Specific and Instructional. They must be measurable and can be observed at all times. They should be statements of what the students will be able to do at the end of the learning. 



Assure Model 


 According to Blooms Taxonomy objectives must be written from the lower order to the higher order level of thinking.

Also when writing the objectives one should make sure to:

• Step 1: Start with a stem sentence (Students will be able to  learn)
• Step 2: Determine the learning outcomes
• Step 3: Consult the blooms wheal to select the appropriate level of verbs
• Step 4:  Write the verb and learning outcomes into a statement that when combined with the stem forms a complete sentence.

*Note: Never use words such that are not measurable or observable such as (known, understand, learn, appreciate, become familiar, be aware of) etc.

When constructing objectives the ABCD's of strong objectives MUST be used at all times.

Examples of Objectives

Audience     Behaviour      Condition      Degree

At the end of the lesson, students will be able to:

1. Construct a KWL chart in word document using the insert tablefrom tool bar with 100% accuracy.

2. Read with ease information on weather systems using a download pdf file of the 3 chapters of the metrology text book.

3.Express  with confidence their ability to code switch from Creole to Standard English using a haiku poem.

Verb Wheel

What have I learnt:

I have learnt how to formulate my lesson plan and how to construct my lesson plan.

Challenges I faced 

My sickness hampered me from the in class session so I had to familiarized myself  with the information on my own.

How  I overcame my challenge

I had to get the notes from my classmate .

Conclusion :

Although i faced challenges, i was able to overcome them and was informed on the assured model, and writing my objectives.
