Useful for the teacher and students, and both can benefit from this document
Tedious and detailed document made by the teacher in order to achieve desired attributes or learning for learners in preparation of their career
Course Outline/ Learning Plan/ Syllabus/ Course Guide
(Not only provides the topics, but provides the materials needed, that will engage the teacher and learner, contains the expected goals, and consist the timeline/ schedule or timeframe)
ODD MAN OUT:

Name/ description of the course One-paragraph course description List of course objectives Autobiography of Instructor Topical outline Course schedule Course code
Autobiography of Instructor
ODD MAN OUT:
Course Outline/ Learning Plan/ Syllabus/ Course Guide includes:
Learner's identification details The teaching methods to be used Methods of evaluation Textbooks and other readings Name of the instructor Learning outcome Assessments tasks and grading Responsibilities as a student
Learner’s identification details
what is aimed for, goals, things want to attain when an action/ effort is done
Kind of objectives each course has will guide the educators in selection and handling
Objective
(When formulating it is necessary to consider the behavior, skills, anticipated action of students
Will reveals the expected outcomes
This what makes the objectives measurable and operational)
The Planning Sequence:
At the end of a course, this is where you can tell whether the student has achieved or accomplished the learning plan
When learning outcome/ objective is achieved, that is only when you can say that a student has learned something
Formulating Objective
A. If only the 1st statement is true B. If only the 2nd statement is true C. If both statements are true D. If neither of the statements is true Objectives...
- Can be a guide for the selection and handling of course materials appropriate for learning activities, teaching methodologies, and type of learners.
- Help determine whether people in the class have learned what the teacher has tried to teach.
C
A. If only the 1st statement is true
B. If only the 2nd statement is true
C. If both statements are true
D. If neither of the statements is true
- Objectives are essential from the learner’s perspective.
- They do not need to know more about a course than they can get from a course description or a list of course content.
A
Characteristics of Objectives:
You must tell exactly what is expected, why it is important, who is involved, where it is going to happen, which attributes are important, what needs to happen, and when it needs to be completed
Specific
(Made up of desired result in a detailed focus and well defined manner, need to be considered to be able to come up with a specific objective
Cannot be vague due to desired outcomes)
Characteristics of Objectives:
Emphasizes the need for concrete standard criteria for measuring progress toward the attainment of the goal.
Enable to know when objective is successfully achieved, if not it will be hard to know if desired objective is achieved or not
Measurable
(Achievement must be translatable or quantifiable using a percentage, frequency, rate, or number
Data incorporated in doing the objectives are those that can be statistically transcribed/ translated)
Characteristics of Objectives:
Questions: How will i know that the changes has occurred, can this measurements be obtained
Measurable
(Resources needs to be filtered, categorized, or sorted out whether tangible or intangible
Needed physical resources should be seen (tangible) to achieve the outcomes)
Characteristics of Objectives:
Points out the importance of goals that are realistic.
Tangible and intangible resources are needed or accounted
People involved possess the intangible qualities or resources
Attainable, achievable, agreed
Majorly relies to whom it is assigned or are designated to do it (willing and voluntary)
Able to achieve and have the capability to achieve the desired objective/ expected outcomes
Characteristics of Objectives:
Questions: who will carry out the actions required, are they capable, are the resources available or obtained, who will bear responsibility for what
Attainable, achievable, agreed
Depends of its agreed feasibility, there are necessary resources that are available or similar results have been obtained already by others in similar and related circumstances that can be applied to the present objectives being formulated
Techniques and methods of others can be adopted if effective on the objective at hand
once discussed the importance of objective and importance of role
Act of being agreeable from this responsible individuals, can make room for them to be more committed, devoted, dedicated in assisting and accomplishing the desired objectives
Assure responsible person that there are resources available
Agreement
Characteristics of Objectives:
Stresses the importance of choosing goals that matter. Relevant goals are purpose- driven.
Result-oriented, Relevant & Realistic
a good grip on reality of a situation, own understanding of what and cannot be done, practical, achievable idea, something that resembles the actual truth about life
Have clear understanding on how to achieve the objective
Realistic
no circumstances or no factors which would make the achievement of the objective impossible or unlikely
Any potential obstacles or constrains have to be taken into account
Result-oriented
suggest that objective set are appropriate to individual or team
Individual job rules fits them and functions well to the benefit of the overall organizational level
This job or function must support or aligned w/ the overall values, purpose, strategy, and long-term objectives of an entire organization
Relevant
Characteristics of Objectives:
Emphasizes the importance of formulating goals within a time frame, giving them a target date.
In formulating objectives, timeframes should be set or scheduled
Timely, Time-bound & Terminal
contributes to the measurability of the objectives
A good practice to identify the milestone or key steps to keep the progress, time management
Timeframe
develops necessary urgency, focuses the mind of those accountable for the commitment, and helps avoid procrastination
Deadline
Characteristics of Objectives:
Actual checking if methodologies and techniques used and applied are effective and efficient or not
Happens when actual measurement has been already transcribed, translated or analyzed
Evaluation/ Evaluated
Characteristics of Objectives:
Conclude the effectiveness of the objective/ measurement
Ways on how to further improve the tools used in order to achieve the objectives
Reviewed & Rewarded
driving force would be retained, to further achieved something out of the objective that has been initially set and applied
Rewarded
Characteristics of Objectives: (SMARTER)
Specific Measurable Attainable, Achievable, Agreed Result-oriented, Relevant, Realistic Timely, Time-bound Evaluation/Evaluated Reviewed & Rewarded
A. If only the 1st statement is true B. If only the 2nd statement is true C. If both statements are true D. If neither of the statements is true Importance of SMART Objectives
- Quite easy to find out at the end of the lesson if the teacher attained his/her objective or not, easier to know when expected outcomes has been met or not
- Easier to the teacher’s part to formulate a test that is valid to measure the attainment of the lesson objective, assessments are easier to make
C
A. If only the 1st statement is true B. If only the 2nd statement is true C. If both statements are true D. If neither of the statements is true Importance of SMART Objectives
- The lesson becomes less focused because the teacher has a concrete picture of the behavior that the students should be able to demonstrate if the teacher realized his/her lesson objective.
- Topics and lessons are less focused, teacher would be able to see and gauge if the students are able to understand the lesson or not
D
A. If only the 1st statement is true B. If only the 2nd statement is true C. If both statements are true D. If neither of the statements is true Importance of SMART Objectives
- Decrease the teacher’s accountability for the learning of the students.
- It departs from the unsound practice of teaching that is so spread out, that in the end, the teacher finds himself unclear on what test he is going to give to assess learning.
B
Developed by Benjamin Bloom in 1956. Educational psychologist and worked as an Asst. Director for the University of Chicago’s Board of Examinations
Bloom’s Taxonomy of Objectives
hierarchical model (bottom to top) that categorizes learning objectives into varying levels of complexity; basic knowledge and comprehension up to advance evaluation and creation by recommending specific verbs to use when writing learning objectives, so that objectives can be measured
Bloom’s Taxonomy
(Higher levels of the pyramid are depended on having achieved the skills of the lower levels
Hierarchical model in relation on how learning objectives are being categorized)
Recommend specific verbs to use when writing learning objectives so that the objectives can be measured.
Used to classify diff objectives and skills that educators set or created for their students
Taxonomy of Objectives
3 Domains of Learning: CAP
Cognitive Learning
Affective Learning
Psychomotor Learning
A. If only the 1st statement is true
B. If only the 2nd statement is true
C. If both statements are true
D. If neither of the statements is true
- Under each domain, learning can take place at a number of level, ranging from simple to complex, one after the other
- Only after a student masters one level of learning goals, that is the time when they can move on a next level

ODD MAN OUT:
Wording of Objectives: Objective is incomplete unless it contains:
Intended learner
Behavior to be performed
Conditions to which it is to be performed
Expected degree of attainment of specific standards
Detailed time frame
Detailed time frame
The Planning Sequence:
for the course syllabus
The general guidelines for course content are usually prescribed by the curriculum of the school or institution for which the educator works.
In every school or institution, the curriculum is unique
Selection of Content
ODD MAN OUT:
Content of course syllabus will depend on:
- How much time you can devote to the topic.
- The kind of background the students have.
- Learning outcomes
- If a textbook/ reference has already been selected for the course, its depth of content can give you some hints as to what you need to include.
- Learning outcomes
3 Primary Components of a Course Learning Plan/ Syllabus: LAI
Learning objectives
Assessments
Instructional strategies
Organizing course content involves:
Course structure: choice of topics, organization, and sequencing of course content
Should always support the learning objectives for the course
Deciding on a course structure
Organizing course content involves:
Teaching strategy: combining and sequencing a number of different instructional activities to help students accomplish the learning goals of the class To determine an effective teaching strategy, educators must think about what they want the students to be able to do when they leave the course
Selecting a teaching strategy to support learning goals
Organizing course content involves:
Important to gauge the amount of time necessary for the activities that are in mind, both in and outside the class time Once gauged, mapping the structure in the academic calendar is need
Creating a schedule
The Planning Sequence:
One of the most complex parts of teaching, yet it may receive least attention in instructional planning
There are many factors to be considered in selecting a teaching method
Unless taught otherwise assume that the way they were taught is the best way to do it.
Choosing teaching methods
A. If only the 1st statement is true B. If only the 2nd statement is true C. If both statements are true D. If neither of the statements is true Factors Affecting Choice of Method:
- Selection of methods depends on the objectives and type of learning you are trying to achieve.
- Course content also dictates methodology to some extent.
C
A. If only the 1st statement is true B. If only the 2nd statement is true C. If both statements are true D. If neither of the statements is true Factors Affecting Choice of Method:
- Compatibility between teachers and teaching methods; compatibility between learners and teaching methods are important.
- Availability of resources determine which strategies to be used.
C
The Planning Sequence:
Reading assignments Short essay/case study Research Personal interview Short term paper
Design assignments
The Planning Sequence:
Careful assignment design clarifies the expectation of teachers have from their students
What the teacher want to see and achieve for their students
Design assignments
Process that involves the following:
Up-to-date and affordable
Provide a stable and uniform source of information for students to use in their individual study.
Quality of writing in the book
How the book was organized and the graphics that were included.
Evaluate the content scope and quality, credibility of authorship, format, quality of print & the like
Examine some chapters
Examine the book’s appearance
The way in which the book will be used
Cost of textbooks
Choosing a Textbook
Conducting the Class:
The way you approach the 1st session often sets the tone for the whole course.
Begin by introducing yourself and knowing the teachers.
First Class Session
Welcome the class, read names, the early and late hour; a little humor is helpful on the first day.
Communicate expectations for the course.
Conducting the Class:
Important, where you set the teaching environment for the students, what they expect
First Class Session
Cover general classroom rules, orientation.
Communicate enthusiasm for the subject, significance and personal application of the subject to students.
Conducting the Class:
Begin by gaining and controlling the attention of the learners.
Establish an impression of control.
Close proximity may help establish presence and authority.
Subsequent Classes
Conducting the Class:
Assess the learners: pre-tests, short questionnaires or asking questions in the class.
Follow the planning sequences and continue to refine the approach to teaching.
Subsequent Classes
Conducting the Class:
Connect what we have learned from previous to our present lesson
Subsequent Classes
Conducting the Class:
Announcement or anticipation of schedules
Subsequent Classes
