3.9.4 LESSON PEER REVIEW ON ASSURE MODEL

Evaluate and Revise

Describe how you will, in the future, measure whether or not the lesson objectives were met.  Were the media and the instruction effective?

 

Evaluate student performance:

How will I determine whether or not they met the lesson's objective?

    

The evaluation should match the objective. Some objectives can be adequately assessed with a pen and paper test. If the objectives call for demonstrating a process, creating a product, or developing an attitude, the evaluation will frequently require observing the behavior in action. 

 

Evaluate media components:

How will I determine the media effectiveness?    

 

Evaluate instructor performance:

How will I  determine whether or not my own performance as instructor/facilitator was effective?

Evaluate and Revise

This last stage is often overlooked but it is the most important of all. After instruction, you must

evaluate the entire instructional process. You must reflect upon the lesson, the stated objectives,

the instructional strategy, the instructional materials, and the assessment and determine if these

elements of the lesson were effective or if one or more of them need to be changed.

If there are

discrepancies between what you intended and what actually happened during the lesson, make

appropriate revisions before using the lesson again.

The A.S.S.U.R.E. Model-PLAN PARTICIPATION

BASING ON THE EXPERIENCES HAVE HAD IN THE ASSURE MODEL LESSON PLAN DESIGN I NOW have learnt many issues that will be make my learners enjoy themselves in training.

Additional technology involvement in instruction where the learners have to participate actively in generating
knowledge and that for instruction to be successful, the instructor needs to match technology that is resources, tools and techniques of pedagogy to boost student learning

Management, need to support teachers to ensure a conducive and favorable learning environment because apart from pedagogy techniques, the resources and tools are very expensive in Uganda.. 

We as instructors need to understand the learners, their back grounds and academic history because some get derailed from high school under the influence of adolescence.

Teachers need to know the characteristics of their learners so as to set and map clear and achievable objectives. The selection of materials, tools and the method of delivery and technique strictly vary with
the characteristics that are thus found and noted from individual trainees.

Teachers need to involve the learners as a countermeasure to problems of cram work. Most learners get bored when the lesson is just teacher centered.

 Above all I have learnt that evaluation and giving feedback is paramount is we are to make the better lesson after the end of one lesson. I have also noted that the materials and tools make the work of the teacher more lively and interesting. In most cases teachers have hated the profession because improvisation has taken over provision of training inputs and of course this has always limited the innovation and creativity of teachers.

Did I succeed in planning for students to be
actively engaged?
As a teacher I helped guide the learners explore new information from the internet individually and to collaborate on their learning in groups as they created the PowerPoint and made digital notes.

Recognizing that there are a variety of learning levels and needs among my students, I determined the best way to meet the needs of all students through differentiating instruction to ensure that all learners are adequately and appropriately challenged in their learning.

Require Learner Participation
It is important to note that students learn best when they are actively involved in the learning experience. Whatever your teaching strategy, be sure to incorporate questions and answers, discussions, group work, hands-on activities, and other ways of getting students actively involved in the learning of the content.  One should try to avoid lecturing for lengthy periods. It is very important to listen to your audience and allow them to become aware of the content.  Allow them to construct knowledge as opposed to trying to "teach" them knowledge. Feedback must be provided before any type of evaluation is administered.  by
