Materials in Social Studies Intended Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the module, the students are expected to;
1. Create an instructional design in teaching 2. Integrate the 9 steps of learning by Gagne, Keller’s ARCS Model, and Constructivism as a tool in teaching Social Studies Planning, Development, Production, and Evaluation of Materials
Instructional Design is a set of methods and practices for
creating learning experiences that makes learning of new knowledge effective. 1. Analyze – identifying the “instructional problem” creation of goals and objectives 2. Design – creation of a strategic blueprint of your lesson Planning, Development, Production, and Evaluation of Materials
3. Develop – materialization of your blueprint
4. Implement – implementation of your developed materials 5. Evaluation – gauging of learning and understanding of the students B. Robert Gagne’s Nine Steps of Learning
1. Gain the Attention – get the eagerness and motivation of
students 2. Inform Students of the Objectives – provide the lesson objectives 3. Stimulate Recall of Prior Learning – have a simple recall of previous discussions B. Robert Gagne’s Nine Steps of Learning
4. Present the Content – explain the lesson
5. Provide Learning Guidance – provide concrete examples to back-up your discussion 6. Elicit Performance – quizzes, essays, recitations B. Robert Gagne’s Nine Steps of Learning
7. Provide Feedback – tell the students how they performed
8. Assess Performance – go back to your objectives, were your objectives attained? 9. Enhance Retention and Transfer – real life applications, usually through home works and assignments C. John Keller’s ARCS Model – 4 elements that encourage and sustain learner motivation
1. Attention – gaining the attention of your students
2. Relevance – emphasize the significance of your lesson
C. John Keller’s ARCS Model – 4 elements that encourage and sustain learner motivation
3. Confidence – instill a feeling of self confidence among
your learners 4. Satisfaction – attainment of personal goals and objectives by the learners Constructivism
Constructivism believes that teachers should be a “guide on
the side” instead of being the “sage on the stage”. Learning has now shifted from focusing on what the teacher can do, instead on what the learners can do.
