delivering my lessons

Complete the given matrix by using Gagne’s Nine Events of Instruction, once a lesson is assigned to you. Consult your Resource Teacher if your plans are ready for implementation or your assistance is needed in any part of the lesson.

Notice

Using Robert Gagne’s Nine Events of Instruction, what did you notice in the following segments of learning:

• How did the students react to the activities/ various elements to arouse their interest?

They are interested in the lesson. Alert and active when you throw some questions about the topic that you discuss.

• Were the students focused when you were stating the learning objectives at the beginning of the lesson?

Yes, they were listening well.

• How did the new learnings relate with what they really know?

New learning is constructed on prior knowledge. The more we understand about what students already think, and the more we help them engage their prior understandings, the more likely they are to learn well – and the less likely they are to misinterpret the material in our courses.

• Did you notice some students who needed assistance? What did you do?

Yes, I encourage them to answer and leave a meaningful message that there is no wrong answer so that they can freely answer and motivate them.

• Did the students find difficulty in applying the theories/ concepts learned to real life?

Yes

• How did your students react to your feedback?

The students are open to hearing critiques and good responses so it balances well.

• What pieces of evidence can prove that the students had retention of learning?

Learning conversations in which they can answer the given questions and that most of the students got a passing score in the test.

Analyze

After planning your lesson (s) you may be requested by your Resource Teacher to deliver the lesson (s). Your Resource Teacher will use a classroom observation sheet to evaluate the delivery of your lesson (s) Schools use different tools in rating classroom/ online observations. Below is an example of a classroom observation form/sheet.

Overall impression of teaching effectiveness:

Collaborates and communicates effectively within the school community to promote students’ wellbeing and success, Builds positive and professional relationships with parents/guardians through frequent and effective communication concerning students’ progress, Demonstrates consistent mastery of standard oral and written English in all communication.

Reflect

Having implemented several lessons in your Cooperating School under the supervision of your Cooperating Teacher, in what areas of the lesson do you need to improve?

I guess I need to improve in the way I deliver the lesson, I need to understand that not all students can follow my discussions and that I need to be flexible enough in thinking about what should I do next to see that my students are not bored and they are devoted in my lessons.

Write Action Research Prompts

1. OBSERVE

Problems/ challenges I encountered in delivering my lessons

The learning competency is not aligned with the learning objectives.

2. REFLECT

I hope to achieve to address these problems and challenges by

Learning again about the learning competency and learning objectives.

3. PLAN

Some strategies/solutions/means that I can employ to improve these situations/problems

To make research about the problem so that I can improve my problems.

4. ACT

Based on my answers in nos. 1-3, the possible title of my action research in this episode is

How to align properly the learning competency to the learning objectives.

To further enrich my knowledge on delivering my instruction whether in the classroom or in remote learning, these are some of the online resources which will help me in these activities. (include books, websites, youtube videos, and the like to share with your peers.)
