LEARNER’S GUIDE

BEFORE YOU PROCEED with the first module of this course pack, I encourage you
to familiarize yourself with how the lessons are structured. In each module, lessons are
organized into four main sections, namely, Activity, Analysis, Abstraction, and
Application. Each section is systematically designed to help you take in the lessons with
ease and to ensure the attainment of the lesson’s objectives. Short descriptions of these
sections are given below.

ACTIVITY

Every lesson starts with an activity. Through these learning activities, you
are expected to apply what you already know and acquire new knowledge
and skills. This will bring understanding on what you learned from the
previous lessons or courses and give clarity on what you are about to learn as you go
further with the lesson.

ANALYSIS

Analysis precedes every activity. This section will enable you to process or
analyze the knowledge gained in the previous activity. It promotes a
broader view of the lesson and at the same time draws you closer to the main topics.
Questions will be provided to you to facilitate this particular thought process. You are
encouraged to write your answer on the spaces provided for each question. You can use
additional sheets of paper if necessary.

ABSTRACTION

The discussion proper begins in the abstraction. This section is entirely

focused on the presentation of the lesson reinforced with solved examples.
In this section, you are expected to demonstrate understanding of the lesson. Answers to
the questions asked in the ‘analysis’ will also be addressed in this section as you go
further with the lesson.

APPLICATION

The last section of each lesson is the application. This section encourages
the practical application of the lessons previously discussed. It describes
