Module 6: Instructional Planning Models

Objectives

 Demonstrate understanding and appreciation of the most commonly used instructional planning models in the
Philippines.

Introduction

Now that you have learned the things to consider when planning instruction you were ready to create one
yourself. Teachers usually plan lessons following a specific model. In this lesson, you will learn about the two most
commonly used instructional planning models in the Philippines and their common features.

Think

There are many instructional planning models that mathematics educators have constructed, but the two most
widely used in the Philippines are the ADIDAS and the Five Es Models.

ADIDAS stands for Activity, Discussion, Input, Deepening, Activity, and Summary.

Activity

The Lesson begins with an activity that will later facilitate a meaningful discussion about the topic of the session.
In other words, the activity introduces the topic to the students. This Activity must be motivating and engaging to
catch the attention of the students.

Discussion

The lesson proceeds with the processing of the activity. In this part, the students as facilitated by the teacher, talks
about their experiences during the activity. Here, the questioning skills of the teacher are important because
he/she must be able to direct the discussion toward the targeted lesson.

Input

In a traditional classroom, the input is where the teacher lectures. However, in a constructivist classroom, this is
the part where the students the students would share the concepts that they learned based on the activity and the
discussion. Nevertheless, no matter which learning theory is applied the lesson, this is the part where the concepts
are clearly established.

Deepening

Here the teacher asks questions that will engage the students to critical and creative thinking. Non-routine
mathematical problems or real-life word problems may be given. The purpose is to give the students the
opportunity to deepen their understanding of the concepts that they have just learned.

Activity

In mathematics, this is the part where the students verify what they have just learned by solving mathematical
problems. Deepening on the need, the students may be engaged in guided practice and/or individual practice.
Sometimes, the teacher facilitates games in this part of the lesson.

Synthesis

The last part of the ADIDAS model is the Synthesis. Here the students are given the opportunity to express what
they have learned by verbally giving a summary of what transpired in class and what they have learned. The
students may also be given a short assessment to give the teacher feedback on what they have learned.
Another commonly used instructional planning model in our country is the Five Es. The Five Es are Engage, Explore,
Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate.

Engage

This part activates the students’ prior knowledge and engages them into new concepts by doing short activities.
The aim of this part is to arouse the students curiosity.

Explore

In this part, the students are exposed to different experiences that will facilitate the discovery of new concepts.
Explore may involve observation exercises, simulations, or manipulations of instructional materials. The goal
here is for the students to discover something new.

Explain

Here the students explain what they have experienced in Explore. The role of the teacher is to facilitate the
discussion that should lead to students seeing patterns that will help them to describe the new concept in their own
words,

Elaborate

The Elaborate part of the lesson allows students expand their understanding of the concepts by applying the
concepts that they have learned in solving mathematical problems.

Evaluate

The last part of the Five Es model, Evaluate, lets the teacher and the students evaluate their learning. Through
giving short exercises are usually the model of evaluation, the teacher can be creative by implementing other
evaluation activities.

Experience

Aside from the components of whatever instructional planning model, an instructional plan also reflects
basic information about the lesson like prerequisite knowledge and skills, time allotment, materials needed, etc.
Below is a sample template of the lesson plan.

Assess

Answer the following questions to verbalize your understanding of instructional planning model commonly used
in math.

1. Did you notice similarity between the ADIDAS and the Five Es model? Match the components of the two models
to summarize the similarities that you saw.

 Activity  Engage

 Discussion  Explore

 Input  Explain

 Deepening  Elaborate

 Activity  Evaluate

2. Explain the matching you did in #1.

Challenge
In this Activity, you will be asked to get a sample lesson plan in any Primary Grade Teacher. This time focus on
analysis on the different components of the lesson plan in relation to the ADIDAS and five Es models.

Refer to the lesson plan you collected and do the following.

1. Extract parts of her lesson plan that exhibits the components of:
a. ADIDAS

Activity

Discussion

Input

Deepening

Synthesis

b. Five Es

Engage

Evaluate

2. Are there components of the ADIDAS/Five Es model that were not reflected in the lesson plan? If you are to fill
in these missing parts, what would you write?

Summary
 ADIDAS and Five Es are just two of the many instructional planning models applied in math. All models usually
boil to common components such as activities, discussions, and evaluations.
