Suitable Methods, Techniques,
and Tests for SLOs-Based Unit Plan
Presented by : Sir Irfan Khan
What are SLOs (Student Learning
Outcomes)?
• • Clear statements of what students are
expected to learn
• • Guide curriculum, instruction, and
assessment
Importance of SLOs in Planning Instruction
• • Helps align teaching activities with desired
outcomes
• • Makes learning objectives transparent to
students
Overview of Unit Planning Linked with SLOs
• • Unit plans are structured to achieve specific
SLOs
• • Ensure coherence in instruction and
assessment
Types of SLOs
• • Cognitive (Knowledge)
• • Affective (Attitudes)
• • Psychomotor (Skills)
Bloom’s Taxonomy & SLOs
• • Remembering, Understanding, Applying,
Analyzing, Evaluating, Creating
• • Helps define measurable learning outcomes
Examples of Well-Written SLOs
• • Students will be able to explain...
• • Students will solve problems using...
• • Students will demonstrate...
Importance of Choosing the Right Method
• • Each method supports different types of
SLOs
• • Must suit content, learner needs, and
context
Lecture Method – When & Why
• • Best for delivering factual information
• • Efficient for large groups
Discussion Method – Interactive Learning
• • Encourages student engagement
• • Develops critical thinking
Activity-Based Learning – Practical SLOs
• • Hands-on experience
• • Useful for psychomotor skills
Inquiry-Based Learning – Higher Order
Thinking
• • Students explore and investigate
• • Promotes deep understanding
Questioning Techniques
• • Open-ended vs. Closed questions
• • Socratic questioning for deeper analysis
Cooperative Learning
• • Pair work, group projects
• • Builds teamwork and communication
Differentiated Instruction Techniques
• • Tailoring instruction to different learning
styles
• • Supports diverse learners
Technology Integration
• • Use of multimedia, smartboards, and LMS
• • Enhances engagement and interactivity
Formative Assessment
• • Ongoing checks: quizzes, exit slips
• • Provides feedback during learning
Summative Assessment
• • Final evaluation: tests, reports
• • Measures overall achievement of SLOs
Diagnostic Assessment
• • Assesses prior knowledge
• • Helps in planning targeted instruction
Performance-Based Assessment
• • Tasks that mirror real-life challenges
• • Students demonstrate knowledge and skills
Self & Peer Assessment
• • Encourages reflection and accountability
• • Develops evaluative skills
Aligning Tests with SLOs
• • Ensure that test items reflect intended
learning outcomes
• • Use table of specifications
Designing Rubrics and Marking Criteria
• • Clear scoring guidelines
• • Promotes transparency and fairness
Validity, Reliability, and Fairness of Tests
• • Validity: measures what it claims
• • Reliability: consistent results
• • Fairness: unbiased for all students
Summary & Final Thoughts
• • SLOs guide method and assessment choices
• • Effective alignment ensures meaningful
learning
