Episode Preparing for Teaching

Spark your Interest

This episode gives emphasis on the principles of learning which must be applied to ensure
quality instruction. It also focuses on the intended learning outcomes which set the direction of the
lesson. They must be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-bound) and
formulated in accordance with time-tested principles. This episode dovetails with the course on
Facilitating Learner-Centered Teaching.

Target your Intended Learning Outcome

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:

identify the teaching-learning practices that apply or violate the principles of teaching and
learning;
determine the guiding principles on lesson objectives/learning outcomes applied in
instruction;
judge if lesson objectives/intended learning outcomes are SMART;
determine whether or not the intended learning outcomes are achieved at the end of the
lesson; and
observe the teaching methods used by the Resource Teacher.

Revisit the Learning Essentials

These are the time-tested principles of teaching and learning:
Effective learning begins with setting clear expectations and learning outcomes.
Learning is an active process. “What I hear, I forget; what I see, I remember; what I do, I
understand.”
Learning is the discovery of the personal meaning of ideas. Students are given the opportunity
to connect what they learn with other concepts learned, with real world experiences and with
their own lives.
Learning is a cooperative and a collaborative process.

A teaching method consists of systematic and orderly steps in the teaching-learning process. It is the
practical realization or application of an approach. All methods of teaching can be classified either as
deductive (direct) or inductive (indirect).

DEDUCTIVE
Begins with a rule,
generalization, abstraction
and ends with concrete,
experience, details,
examples.
INDUCTIVE
Begins with the concrete,
Methods of experience, details,
Teaching examples and ends with a
rule, generalization,
abstraction.
