REFLECT
Based on your observations and tasks in activity 2 how will you prepare your lesson plan? Make a short paragraph on the topic
Based on our observations and tasks in activity 2 we prefer to make a lesson plan based on its content area. As future elementary teachers, we teach math, English, science, and social studies throughout the day, and we need a different lesson plan for each of those content areas. Depending on our teachers', preferences, the plan for each content area could be for one day, a week, or the entire unit, making the job easier and faster.
ACTIVITY 8.3 CONSTRUCTIVE ALIGNMENT OF THE COMPONENTS OF A LESSON PLAN
OBSERVE
ANALYZE
Yes, Constructive alignment simply mean you align pre-established competencies followed by teaching as well as learning activities and finally assessment types the three component of constructive alignment are; Objectives, Teaching activities,Method of assessment or evaluation. The teacher first came up with the learning objectives then went further and executed them by selecting the best teaching as well as learning approach lastly the conducted an evaluation to test whether learning has taken place.
Yes as long as the teaching methods and strategies are aligned with the outcomes as well as the appropriateness of these methods with the subject matter and level of understanding of learners. Because teaching methods have a way to the attainment of this outcome.
3. What component would tell if the outcomes have been achieved?
It is the assessment or evaluation part, where the teacher can provide activities, quizzes, seat work, and so on to assess the students' knowledge and understanding of the topic they have discussed in that session.
REFLECT
What lessons have you learned in developing or writing a lesson plan?
What value will it give to the teacher if the three components are aligned?
We have learned that considering your methods in teaching is one great way to achieve your learning outcomes. It is not enough to develop a lesson plan and formulate an instruction. Writing a lesson plan needs an alignment with the level of learning of your students, the learning competencies, your strategies and the appropriateness of the assessment relevant to the objectives. Just like what we have, the constructive alignment of the component adds value to the effectiveness of a teaching and learning process. By this, we can formulate a lesson plan easily and effectively. Though it is just a template, it can assure that when aligned, it can contribute to the attainment of the learning outcomes as well as to provide quality education. Writing a lesson plan is not easy because it provides a detailed and planned instruction that will be implemented in the class. But with the use of this template, you can be able to distinguish the needs of these components with regards to their attainment. We should be patient, observant and flexible in writing a lesson plan for teachers who are the knower, writer, implementer and evaluation of the curriculum.
