#2 Activity: Constructive Alignment of the Components of a Lesson Plan
Secure a permission to request for sample lesson from your RT.
Using the diagram below fill up the component parts of the lesson plan.
#3 Activity: Identifying Learning Outcomes that are aligned with Learning Competencies
Secure a copy of Kindergarten Guide Week 36.
Observe a class, this time focusing on how the learning outcomes /learning point that were stated in week 36. Use this link to observe a class. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5haWhJ17mZc Classroom demo teaching in Kindergarten by Rose Ann DC. Esguerra
Determine of the learning outcomes was/were achieved or not. Give evidence.
1. Write the learning outcomes stated in the lesson.
#1 ACTIVITY ANALYSIS
1. Which of the seven is easy to find?
The easiest curriculum that can be found is the Recommended Curriculum because it is accessible for all teachers especially that it can be found on the Internet. This curriculum is also reliable because it is already examined by the national level.
2. Which is difficult to find? Why?
The curriculum that is difficult to find is the Hidden Curriculum because it is spontaneous which means that it is not written nor official but it greatly affects the learning process.
3. Are all of these found in the school setting? How do curricula relate to one another?
All these curricula are found in the school setting because each one of them is essential to the improvement of the school setting. Each of the curriculum relate to one another through building each other and being the stepping stone of one curriculum to achieve its intended outcomes.
4. Draw a diagram to how the relationship of one another to the other?
#2 ACTIVITY ANALYSIS
Answer the following questions based on the diagram during your observation.
1. Are the three components constructively aligned? Explain.
Yes, the three components are constructively aligned because the assessment part met the objectives that we in the planning part and the execution of the plan which is the implementation of the lesson.
2. Will the outcomes be achieved with the teaching methods used? Why?
Yes, the outcomes will be achieved with the teaching methods used because it catches the interests of the children and they are actively engaged in the learning process because they are interested on how it is delivered.
3. What components would tell if the outcomes have been achieved?
The component that would tell if the outcomes have been achieved is through the assessment or evaluation component where the scores of the children or their results will be the basis if the outcomes have been achieved.
#3 ACTIVITY ANALYSIS
1. Do SMART objectives make the lesson more focused? Explain your answer.
It is true that the SMART objectives make the lesson more focused because it creates an objective that sticks to the intended outcome and focuses of what is achievable and relevant in the lesson proper.
#1 Activity Reflection:
1. Make a reflection on the diagram that you have drawn in Activity #1.
The diagram that I have drawn made me reflect and realize that the written curriculum, supported curriculum, taught curriculum, and assessed curriculum are all part of the teachers planning, implementing and assessing the students to gain a learned curriculum that has met the objectives and learning outcomes intended. The recommended curriculum and hidden curriculum are also connected with the learned curriculum only that they are separated because one is the basis and the other one is unplanned in the learning process.
#2: Activity Reflection:
1. What lesson have you learned in developing or writing a lesson plan?
I learned that when writing a lesson plan, the objectives must be SMART or the acronym for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-Bound. This is to keep the learning outcomes aligned with the objectives and the students can really understand the lesson.
2. What value will it give to the teacher if there are three components are aligned?
The teacher will deliver the lesson effectively if the three components which are the planning, implementing, and assessing. If the planning of the teacher is written accordingly, then the implementation of the plan or the delivery of the lesson will be attainable and the students will be able to understand it which will reflect on the assessment part of the learning process.
#3 Activity Reflection:
Reflection on the
Lessons learned in determining SMART learning Outcomes
I have learned a lot in determining SMART objectives and one of it is these are very helpful in creating good learning objectives in planning a lesson. These five elements are the key to a well-written learning objective and these must be observed in an objective to effectively teach a certain lesson. SMART can create structure in class time because it determines the information that you need to teach the children and what kinds of activities that are needed in order to let them engage in the learning process. This also saves time since you already know what to do and you just have to focus on the learning process.
