Competency 1

Instructional Design and Planning

Lesson Plan

A teacher's detailed description of the course of instruction for an individual lesson. It describes what to do, in what order to do it, and what procedure will be used to ensure effective instruction.
Six-E Learning Cycle Model
This cycle involves five primary components: engagement, exploration, explanation, elaboration, evaluation, and e-search
Six+one Lesson Model
A combination of varied models of planning, but follows the following sequence: Focus, objective, direct instruction, guided practice, independent practice & assessment, closure, and required equipment & materials.
Standards
Are the state-mandated guidelines for learning, which are detailed by providing grade-level expectation and Benchmarks for student learning.

Instructional objective

A statement that detail what a student should know and be able to do because of a specific learning experience.
Short-term objective
achievable, developed with student input, and measurable
Long-term objective
help set a direction and visualize the level of expected performance as the learning process unfolds.
How does student interest relate to student learning and mastery of objectives?
There is direct correlation between students’ interest /engagement and students’ learning. Generally, if a student has a high level of interest and engagement then the student has an increased level of motivation and academic mastery.

Three – cognitive, affective, and psychomotor
Cooperative learning
a powerful instructional strategy that engages students in the process of learning and provides interactive support for all involved
Cooperative learning structure
each temporary group is had too generous and first in its terms of ability levels, race, learning styles, and gender.
Cooperative learning strategies
Think, pair, and share; Jigsawing; Corners
Think pair share
initially, students work on a specific, individual task. Then, each student pairs up with a partner to discuss the results and revise the solution. Finally, the pair of students shares the results with the rest of the class.
Jigsawing
a group becomes an expert on a given topic. Then, each group is reorganized to share with other students in the classroom until everyone in the learning environment has a better understanding of the specific topic chosen by the teacher.
Corners
different groups of students work in different corners of the classroom to discuss a specific topic then the students teach a topic to the rest of the class.

Direct instruction

a teacher-centered instructional approach typically delivered in lecture style. The role of teachers one of authority and the role of the student is the follower.

Bloom’s taxonomy levels
new domain –creating, evaluating, and analyzing, applying, understanding, and remembering. Original domain –evaluation, synthesis, analysis, application, comprehension, and knowledge.
Piaget
Developed stages of growth, which provides a framework for analyzing normal intellectual development from infancy to adulthood.
Piaget’s four stages of intellectual development
sensorimotor – birth through 18-24 months; preoperational – cobbler and (18 – 24 months) through early childhood (ages seven); concrete operational ages 7-12; formal operational – adolescence through adulthood
Sensorimotor stage
infants are only aware of what is immediately in front of them. They focus on what they see, what they are doing, and physical interactions with their immediate environment. At its 7 to 9 months, infants begin to realize that an object exists even if it can no longer be seen. This is known as object permanence. At the end of the stage, infants begin to reach early language development.
Preoperational stage
During this stage, young children are people think about things symbolically. Their language uses becomes more mature. They also develop memory and imagination.
Concrete operational stage
At this stage, children demonstrate logical, concrete reasoning. Children’s thinking comes less egocentric and me are now more aware of the world around them. They begin to realize that one’s own thoughts and feelings are unique and may not be shared by others or may not even be part of reality.
Formal operational stage
at this stage, children are able to logically use symbols related to abstract concepts, such as algebra and science. They can think about multiple variables in systematic ways, formulate hypotheses, and consider possibilities.

Knowledge

In what stage of Paiget’s cognitive development would a learner be equipped to think logically about abstract ideas?

Formal operational stage (adolescence to adulthood)
How does bloom’s taxonomy relate to higher-level thinking?
The levels at the top of the taxonomy (analyzing, creating, and evaluation) generally reflect higher-order thinking skills developed by students.

What is the primary difference between deductive and inductive thinking?

Deductive thinking starts with one or two general statements and lead to a specific conclusion, while inductive thing requires student to take specific facts and leads to general conclusion.
Deductive thinking
requires students to take one or more general statements, and then work their way down to a more specific conclusion.
Inductive thinking

requires students to take specific facts and use them to develop a general conclusion.

Creative thinking
requires student to produce original, creative material, for example to write a short story.
Cognitive thinking
requires academic skills such as remembering, visually processing material, and reasoning.
Parallel thinking
requires students to work together to address a subject rather than to argue against each other. It can be inductive or deductive as long as student work toward the same goal.
Convergent questioning
requires a student to “converge on one answer, for example, answering, “What is 4+2”? Generally, this type of questing requires lower-level thinking skills.
Divergent questioning
requires critical thinking, since it allows students to generate multiple answers to a defined question, such as “what is freedom?” Generally, this type of questing requires higher-level thinking skills.
Educational theorist Jerome Bruner

the outcome of cognitive development is thinking. Father of cognitive psychology. His theories focuses on the idea that the mind is guided by experience and with experience come a coding within the brain, which leads a learner to make prediction about the future.

What is a curriculum-based measurement?
An assessment that is driven directly from the curriculum being taught; generally speaking it would be derived from local and state standards.
Why is it important to monitor pre-requisite skill development?
The reason pre-requisite skill development must be focused upon is that these skills lead up to the ultimate learning target. Therefore, if a student does not show competency of a learning target, the inadequacy may be more reflective of the pre-requisite skills involved in the learning process.
Learning activities should always be based on
specific objectives.
