Lesson 4

Systematic Approach to Teaching

As depicted in the chart, the focus of systematic instructional planning is the learner. Instruction begins with the definition of instructional objectives that consider the learners’ needs, interests and readiness. On the basis of these objectives, the teacher selects the appropriate teaching methods to be used, and in turn, based on the teaching method selected, chooses also the appropriate learning experiences and appropriate materials, equipment and facilities. 

The use of learning materials, equipment and facilities necessitates assigning the appropriate personnel to assist the teacher and defining the role of any personnel involved in the preparation, setting and returning of these learning resources. The effective use of learning resources is dependent on the expertise of the teacher, the motivation level or responsiveness, and the involvement of the learners in the learning process. With the instructional objective of the mind, the teacher implements planned instruction with the use of the selected teaching method, learning activities, and learning materials with the help of other personnel whose role has been defined by the teacher.

Examples of learning activities that the teacher can choose from, depending on his/her instructional objective, nature of the lesson content, readiness of the students, are reading, writing, interviewing, reporting or doing presentation, discussing, thinking reflecting, dramatizing , visualizing, creating judging and evaluating.

Some examples of learning resources for instructional use are textbooks, workbooks, programmed materials, computer, television programs, video clips, flat pictures,slides and transparencies, maps, charts, cartoons, posters, models, mock ups, flannel board materials, chalkboard, real objects and the like.

After instruction, teacher evaluates the outcome of instruction. From the evaluation result, teacher comes to know if the instructional objective was attained. If the instructional objective was attained, teacher proceeds to the next lesson going through the same cycle once more. If instructional objective was not attained, then teacher diagnoses what was not learned and finds out why it was not learned in order to introduce a remedial measure for improve student’s performance and attainment of instructional objective. This way no learners will be left behind. 

Summary:

Systematic Approach to Teaching 

-A plan that emphasizes the parts may pay the cost of failing to consider the whole, and a plain that emphasizes the whole must pay the cost of failing get down to the real depth with respect to the parts -West Churchman.

What is systematic?

It is an orchestrated learning pattern with all parts harmoniously integrated into the whole:

The school, the teacher the students, the objectives, the media, the materials, and assessment tools  and procedures. Such an approach integrates the older, more familiar methods and tools of instructions with the new ones Such as the computer.
