DEVELOPING AN INSTRUCTIONAL

STRATEGYLORI PRATER

BACKGROUND• DEVELOPING AN INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY ENTAILS THE APPROPRIATE

CONTENT, ACTIVITIES, AND MATERIALS.• IT ENCOMPASSES THE SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE THAT WILL BE SHARED WITH

STUDENTS, HOW STUDENTS WILL BE ENGAGED IN RECEIVING THE KNOWLEDGE, AND THE VARIOUS TYPES OF TANGIBLE EVIDENCE THAT CAN CONTAIN THE KNOWLEDGE

OBJECTIVES• DEMONSTRATE UNDERSTANDING OF CONTENT SEQUENCING AND CLUSTERING AND

HOW THEY ARE USED• MASTER RECOGNIZING LEARNING COMPONENTS AND HOW TO USE THEM FOR

PROGRESSIVE INFLUENCE• PUT IN PRACTICE THE USE OF EFFECTIVE STUDENT GROUPINGS• SHOW CONFIDENCE IN SELECTING VARIOUS TYPES OF MEDIA TO ASSIST

INSTRUCTION• CREATE A LESSON PLAN THAT FOCUSES ON A SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY

CONTENT SEQUENCING

•THINK OF CONTENT SEQUENCING IN TERMS OF ORDER

•CONTENT SHOULD BE ORDERED FORM BASIC TO MOST ADVANCED

•SEQUENCE SKILLS BUILDING ON THE PREVIOUS SKILLS

CLUSTERING•GROUPING OF INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES

•OBJECTIVES CAN BE GROUPED ON SEVERAL FACTORS

•CLUSTERING CAN ALSO DETERMINE HOW MUCH INSTRUCTION TO PRESENT

•AGE LEVEL COMPLEXITY OF MATERIAL, FLEXIBILITY OF INSTRUCTION, AND THE AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED CAN AFFECT THE INSTRUCTIONAL PLAN

LEARNING COMPONENTS• INCLUDES THE USE OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS

•THEY ARE USED TO PROGRESS LEARNING TO HIGHER LEARNING.

•UTILIZE NINE SPECIFIC EVENTS TO COORDINATE PROGRESSION

EVENTS OF INSTRUCTION• THESE EVENTS MAY ALL BE USED OR SELECTIVELY CHOSEN AS NEEDED.•GAIN THEIR ATTENTION• INFORM LEARNERS OF YOUR OBJECTIVES•RECALL PRIOR KNOWLEDGE• PRESENT STIMULATING INTRODUCTION OF NEW MATERIAL•GUIDE NEW LEARNING

EVENTS OF INSTRUCTION

• IGNITE STUDENTS WITH ENGAGING ACTIVITIES

•GIVE CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK

•REVIEW THEN PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE LESSON

USING LEARNING COMPONENTS DURING INSTRUCTION

•GAIN THEIR ATTENTION CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED IN MANY WAYS• IT IS WISE TO LET THE LEARNERS KNOW WHAT THEY WILL BE

LEARNING BEFORE TEACHING THE LESSON•STATE THE OBJECTIVES PRIOR TO TEACHING THE LESSON

USING LEARNING COMPONENTS DURING INSTRUCTION

•RECALL WHAT WAS LEARNED FROM PREVIOUS LESSONS

• INTRODUCE NEW INFORMATION BY TAPPING INTO THEIR PRIOR KNOWLEDGE WITH AN ENGAGING ACTIVITY

•GUIDING NEW LEARNING IS PRESENTING THE LESSON FOR THAT DAY

USING LEARNING COMPONENTS DURING INSTRUCTION

• ACTIVELY ENGAGE THE STUDENTS WITH VARIOUS ACTIVITIES THAT CAN BE COMPLETED IN A GROUP OR INDIVIDUALLY

• PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO SHARE WHAT THEY HAVE LEARNED AND RECEIVE FEEDBACK FROM THE TEACHER

USING LEARNING COMPONENTS DURING INSTRUCTION

• THE TEACHER SHOULD GIVE AN ASSESSMENT TO ENSURE THAT THE OBJECTIVES HAVE BEEN MET•REVIEW THE LESSON AND PREPARE THE STUDENTS FOR THE

NEXT LESSON

STUDENT GROUPING

•PLACING STUDENTS IN GROUPS IS A LONG-HELD CLASSROOM PRACTICE TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH MORE INDIVIDUALIZED TIME WITH THE TEACHER

•STUDENT GROUPINGS CAN PLACE STUDENTS OF THE SAME ACADEMIA LEVELS TOGETHER

STUDENT GROUPING

•STUDENT GROUPINGS CAN KEEP STUDENTS MOTIVATED ABOUT LEARNING•STUDENT GROUPINGS CAN BE VERY INTERESTING• THEY CAN FURTHER DEVELOP SOCIAL INTERACTIONS

USING MEDIA IN INSTRUCTION

• THE WAY INSTRUCTION IS DELIVERED IS VERY IMPORTANT TO STUDENT RETENTION.• IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO USE TOOLS THAT WILL ASSIST IN THE

DELIVERY OF INSTRUCTION.•MEDIA SUCH AS VIDEOS, RECORDERS, AND TELEVISION CAN

ADD INTERESTING ASPECTS TO INSTRUCTION.

USING MEDIA IN INSTRUCTION

• THE TYPE OF LEARNING AND THE OBJECTIVES FORMULATED SHOULD DICTATE THE TYPES OF MEDIA THAT WILL BE USED.• THE LEARNING LEVEL OF THE STUDENTS HAVE TO BE

CONSIDERED TO ENSURE NO MEDIA IS TOO COMPLEX OR SIMPLE FOR STUDENTS.•BEING ABLE TO ACCESS THE MEDIA IS VERY IMPORTANT

CREATING A LESSON PLAN USING AN INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY

•USING THE STEPS OUTLINED IN THE PREVIOUS SLIDES WILL HELP AN INSTRUCTOR CREATE A MASTERFUL LESSON PLAN FILLED WITH VARIETY AND EFFECTIVELY PROVIDING STUDENTS WITH INSTRUCTION THAT WILL HELP THEM SUCCEED.•DICK&CAREY CREATED 5 SPECIFIC STEPS TO HELP INSTRUCTORS

CREATE AN INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY

INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY (5 STEPS)

•SEQUENCE AND CLUSTER OBJECTIVES

•PLAN PRE-INSTRUCTIONAL, ASSESSMENT, AND FOLLOW-THROUGH ACTIVITIES

•PLAN INSTRUCTION DELIVERY AND STUDENT PARTICIPATION

•ASSIGN OBJECTIVES TO LESSONS AND TIME NEEDED TO TEACH

•REVIEW STRATEGY AND USE APPROPRIATE MEDIA

SUMMARY•DEVELOPING AN INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY ENCOMPASSES MANY

ASPECTS THAT WILL TAKE THE LEARNER TO A NEW LEVEL OF HIGHER LEARNING•LEARNING COMPONENTS ARE USED TO HELP TO DESIGN A LESSON

FILLED WITH OPTIMAL OPPORTUNITIES AND ACTIVITIES TO ENGAGE THE STUDENTS•CREATING AN INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY CAN BE DONE IN FIVE STEPS.

LIFELONG LEARNER SUMMARY

•AS A CHANGE AGENT, BEING ADAPTABLE IS VERY ESSENTIAL IN DEVELOPING AN INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY, ESPECIALLY IN REGARDS TO THE MEDIA AND DELIVERY SYSTEMS. TECHNOLOGY IS ALWAYS EVOLVING. WE, AS EDUCATORS MUST PREPARE OUR STUDENTS FOR THIS NEW AGE TECHNOLOGICAL SOCIETY.
