For week six, Dr Chin has taught us this topic as a reference when we are planning our lesson plan. This strategy is to help educators to design process that share the behaviorist approach to learning, with a focus on the outcomes or behaviors of instruction or training. The steps are,
1. Gain attention of the students
This is to ensure the learners are ready to learn and participate in activities by presenting a
stimulus to gain their attention.
2. Inform students of the objectives
This is to help students to understand what they are learning for the course.
3. Stimulate recall of prior learning
Help students make sense of new information by relating it to something they already know or something they have already experienced.
4. Present the content
Use strategies to present and cue lesson content to provide more effective, efficient instruction. Organize and chunk content in a meaningful way. Provide explanations after demonstrations.
5. Provide learning guidance
Advise students of strategies to aid them in learning content and of resources available.
6. Elicit performance (practice)
Activate student processing to help them internalize new skills and knowledge and to confirm correct understanding of these concepts.
7. Provide feedback
To get immediate feedback of students performances. It is a process to assess and facilitate learning.
8. Assess performance
In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the instructional events, you must test to see if the expected learning outcomes have been achieved. Performance should be based on previously stated objectives.
9. Enhance retention and transfer to the job
To help learners develop expertise, they must internalize new knowledge.
Gagné’s Nine Events of Instruction can help build the framework with which to prepare and deliver instructional content. The goals and objectives should be prepared before applying the nine event's of instruction into teaching. It can be then modified to fit in both the content and student's level of knowledge.
