MARY JANE N. CLORES FACILITATOR INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES
Goals 1 . To describe the four elements of an instructional strategy. 2. To create effective lesson delivery incorporating key learning components. 3. To develop or adopt a system to design an effective lesson. 4. To use an effective combination of micro and macro strategies to present new materials to the learner.
Instructional strategy ? An instructional strategy according to Dick and Carey is “ a description of the process of sequencing and organizing content, specifying learning activities, and deciding how to deliver the content and activities.”
Things to Consider Before Choosing a Strategy The four main elements of an instructional strategy: Content sequence and clustering Learning Components Student Groupings Selection of Media and Delivery Systems
Content Sequencing and Clustering Consider the following: The age level of the learner The complexity of the material The type of learning taking place Whether the activity can be varied thereby focusing attention on the task. Amount of time required for each cluster of objectives. Determine how little or ho much instructions is needed or each cluster of objectives considering the above factors.
Developing Delivery Different Strategies for Different Components of Lesson Preinstructional Strategies Motivation A = Attention R = Relevance C = Confidence S = Satisfaction Entry Skills?
Learning Components Gagne’s Theory of Learning The Nine Events Video Nine Events Example Learning Conditions and Categories
Student Groupings Social Interaction is a broad goal of education and a key part of growing up but should be used carefully as it can hinder individual learning. Some things to consider: Do your objectives lend themselves to cooperative learning activities? Your personal views Groups can motivate and encourage learning. Hard to accomplish with computer-based learning.
Selection of Delivery Examples : Classroom lecture with notes, powerpoint , correspondences, video, computer or web- based A delivery system should be chosen with the following areas of a lesson in mind.....
Content Presentation Inductive Learning vs. Deductive Learning Choose strategies to match goals and type of learning that will effectively deliver the idea of the lesson. Choose guidance and modeling or examples Remember to include practice and feedback when presenting
Learner Participation Choose guidance activities and modeling or examples Remember to include practice and feedback when presenting
Assessment How is the learning going to be assessed? How are going to know that they learned the material? How will you know if your strategy was effective?
Follow Through Activities Strategies such as memory aides to study material and remember concept Strategies to encourage the transfer of information to real world application or more complex ideas.
Selection of Media Considerations: What content will the material include? Availability of materials? Decisions to adopt or adapt materials after use Will your students have to submit rough draft material and how will you provide them the scaffolding? Story boarding ? Graphic Organizers? What type are the materials? Assessment, prerequisite skill review? Feedback? Transfer? Delivery Methods?
Other Factors Cost effectiveness Flexibility and durability Convenience Replaces need for direct instruction? Task requirements Learner characteristics Attitudes of teacher and learner
Take The Following Steps to Creating Materials and Media Review objectives and goals Choose potential strategy Review analysis of learners for needed adaptations Decided on needed components to create media. Survey expects, ask colleagues, research Create a story board or rough draft to assess for clarity Write out instructions. Present Final Product Review and revise a needed ( Adopt or Adapt)
challenge Your special education class is about to have to learn about fractions but they do not know how to find least common multiple or greatest factor because they never learned their multiplication facts. Using the following template, create both macro and micro instructional strategies and choose appropriate materials to teach your group a unit on fractions. Use information from this powerpoint and moodle page page to create unit.
