DISCUSSION OF TOPICS:

SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO TEACHING

The focus of systematic instructional planning is the learner.

Instruction begins with:

o Definition of instructional objectives that consider the learners’ needs, interests and readiness.
o On the basis of this objectives, the teacher selects the appropriate teaching – methods to be used and
, in turn, based on the teaching method selected, chooses also the appropriate learning experiences
and appropriate materials, equipment and facilities.

The use of learning materials, equipments and facilities necessities assigning the appropriate personnel
to assist the teacher and defining the role of any personnel involved in the preparation, setting and returning
of these learning resources. ( in some school settings, there is a custodian/librarian who take care of the
learning resources and technician who operate the equipment while teacher facilitates).

The effective use of learning resources is dependent on the expertise of the teacher, the motivation
level or responsiveness, and the involvement of the learners in the learning process. With the instructional
objective in mind, the teacher implements planned instruction with the use of the selected teaching method,
learning activities and learning materials with the help of other personnel whose role has been defined by the
teacher.

Will the teacher use direct instruction or indirect instruction? Will he/she teach the deductive or the
inductive method? It depends on his/her instructional objective, nature of the subject matter, readiness of
students and the facilitating skills of the teacher himself or herself.

Learning Activities that the teacher can choose from, depending on his/her:

o instructional objective
o nature of the lesson content
o readiness of the students
o reading
o writing
o interviewing
o reporting or doing presentation
o discussing
o thinking
o reflecting
o dramatizing
o visualizing
o creating
o judging
o evaluating

Learning Resources for instructional use are:

o textbooks
o workbooks
o programmed materials
o computer
o television programs
o video clips
o flat pictures
o slides and transparencies
 o maps
o charts
o cartoons
o posters
o models
o mock – ups
o flannel board materials
o chalkboard
o real objects

After instruction, teacher evaluates the outcome of instruction. From the evaluation results, teacher
comes to know if the instructional objective was attained. If the instructional objective was attained, teacher
proceeds to the next lesson going through the same cycle once more.

If instructional objective was not attained, then the teacher diagnoses what was not learned and finds out
why it was not learned in order to introduce a remedial measure for improved student performance and attainment
of instructional objective. This way no learners will be left behind.

SUMMARY:

 The focus of systematic instructional planning is the learner.

 The effective use of learning resources depends on the expertise of the teacher, motivation level, and
involvement
of the learners in the learning process.
 After instruction, teacher evaluates the outcome of instruction.
 If instructional objective was not attained, teacher should diagnose and introduce remedial measure to
improved student performance.
