Reflection
What have I learned about the teaching and learning process when preparing this
lesson?

Through out the development of the lesson plan, I came to realise the importance of
having activities to ensure student engagement and creating innovative activities to
keep the students focused. I also realised the learning process is much effective
when the activities are more student centred and relevant therefore the learning is
embedded in the real life scenarios they face everyday.

How am I measuring the outcomes of this lesson?

Learning Outcome Method of measurement and recording


COM5-1 Concept map activity and group brainstorm on factors affecting
consumer decisions
COM5-4 Analysing spending styles in different age groups and comparing factors

Reflection
What have I learned about the teaching and learning process when preparing this
lesson?

In planning this lesson I have learned that students learn a great deal from listening
to the personal experiences of the teacher and find the lesson more relatable when
the teacher also participate in the sharing. I also noted the importance of providing
“activators” to get the discussions started rather than expecting the students to
generate ideas without initial assistance.

How am I measuring the outcomes of this lesson?

Reflection
What have I learned about the teaching and learning process when preparing this
lesson?

In this lesson plan I understood the importance of research and take home activities.
Take home activities combined with research allows slow learning students to take
their time and process, organize, link and synthesize the ideas learned at class at a
slower and less intimidating space. Also I learned the importance of scaffolding as a
support tool and a differentiating method for students of different levels.

How am I measuring the outcomes of this lesson?

Rationale
19848408 Assignment 1

The three lesson plans are built based on the “Consumer and Financial Decisions “ of
Core unit 1 of NSW year 7-10 syllabus, and are targeting to achieve stage 5 outcomes
for the learners. The aim of the lessons is to enable the students to develop the
knowledge, understanding and skills required to make sound, responsible consumer
and financial decisions by being able to identify and research issues that individuals
encounter when making consumer and financial decisions, while working
independently and collaboratively (Commerce Years 7-10 Syllabus, 2019).

The teaching strategies and activities of these lessons follow the Outcome Based
Education (OBE) approach and Inquiry Based Learning Approach (IBL). According
to Spady(1994), OBE encompasses the idea of clearly focusing and organizing all
aspects in the lessons around “what is essential for all the students to be able to
successfully perform at the end of the learning experience”. Furthermore, Spady &
Schlebusch (1999) argues that OBE focuses on a big picture approach where the
lessons will be built around the future needs of students and give prominence to the
real life roles, learners will face once they have finished their school education. The
lesson plans also incorporates the other hallmarks of OBE approach including
outcomes are; demonstrations of learning, within appropriate contexts and learners are
expected to demonstrate high quality learning. This is also consistent with the
requirements of the NSW Quality Teaching Model; Deep knowledge, Deep
understanding, High Expectations (NSW QTF, 2008).

The lessons have been designed in such a way, each and every topic is delivered
within the context of real life situations learners may encounter and by engaging in
the lesson will develop life long skills, knowledge and understanding to make the best
decisions. Lesson 1 lays a good base followed by Lesson 2 and 3, which explores
further consumer dilemmas such as impulsive buying vs being ready for unexpected
expenses, getting the best value for the money spent and making most of different
shopping methods available. Each lesson is constructed starting with simpler activities
and further moving on to higher order thinking activities, where the students will
gradually take control and responsibility over their learning. A significant focus has
been given to comply with the AISTL Graduate Standards with regards to the
composition of the lesson plans.

The second pedagogical approach shaping the lessons is Inquiry Based Learning
(IBL) method, which is also a student centred approach. It often starts with a real
world problem and the knowledge is constructed using an inquiry/research process
based their prior knowledge (Keselman, 2003;Lazoner and Harmsen, 2016). This is
evident in many research activities incorporated in to the lesson where the student is
presented with a real world issue, and is expected to come up with their own opinion
about the topic in question. It is worth mentioning this is an excellent way to keep
Advance Learners interested throughout the lesson. Real life problem solving and
open-ended activities are used to provide some autonomy and responsibility over what
they are learning.

The lessons are constructed in such a way the first activity of each lesson questions
the prior knowledge of the topic followed by other activities to evoke curiosity and
build knowledge by channelling that curiosity in to research. To support the lessons,
original resources were developed including worksheets and scaffoldings. For
example, in lesson 1 a concept map was used to test the prior knowledge, further in to

the lesson a question grid was provided to help students to process and organize the
information they have learned so far. Many activities also included an ICT aspect as a
form of research tool. Internet as a learning tool is a popular choice at classroom; it
can be used as a tool for training activity in schools as a form of complementary
activity (Sangra, 2011). Using the Internet students were able to collect, organize,
analyse information and use the knowledge to synthesize a solution for a given
problem. E.g. Lesson 2- “Find me the best price! “Activity.

The activities are differentiated; individual learning, collaborative learning, whole


class discussions, student research and writing to cater for different styles of learning
among students. With regards to higher order thinking activities, lower level learners
or EALD/ESL were given the opportunity express themselves in written form at a
slower pace, in case they might not feel comfortable/capable to be vocalising in class
with a limited time to process the higher order information. Heavy reliance on
cooperative learning is connected to achieving the lesson outcome COM5-9 as well as
a differentiating tool. In economics, Yamarik (2007) found out students tend to score
higher grades when introduced group studying, which eventually leads to an enhanced
interest in the subject. The cooperative learning technic’s advantages to the students
undertaking these lessons are so many but not limited to, building positive peer
relationships (Johnson, Johnson & Holubec, 2008), encourage weaker students to
persist and stronger students to understand gaps in their knowledge (Felder & Brent,
1994) and students who might otherwise feel stressed by participating in whole class
discussions can engage in a more relaxed atmosphere (e.g. underachievers, students
with disabilities and EALD/ESL students).
