Exam 6: Planning for Model-Based Instruction

The four main determinants of context are the teacher, school administrators, content, and available resources.

The performance criterion states in objective terms how proficient, correct, consistent, or accurate the performance must be to indicate that learning has occurred.

Well organized units and lessons have a greater chance of leading to student achievement of the intended learning goals.

'Having planned' means a teacher is actually prepared and properly organized for effective instruction.

Direct models allow students to make more decisions in class.

'Students will learn rules and strategies for soccer' is a good example of a behavioral objective.

Planning for effective instruction in physical education is done on two levels: the unit and the lesson.

While some instructional models will require specialized planning formats, most models use lessons plans that share several common characteristics.

The well-prepared teacher will not only know what's on the written plan, but will also anticipate what she and her students will be doing at all times in class.

The best plans for teaching are firm but flexible.

The lesson objectives should not be taken directly from the unit plan.

The single most important reason for planning is to improve the likelihood that students will learn the intended instructional outcomes with the most efficient expenditure of time, effort, and resources.

General objectives are just what the term implies: global areas of intended student learning within each domain.

It useful to think of lesson planning as a series of questions that need to be asked?and answered?before a lesson begins.

The best plans are written so that anyone can understand and implement them.

The setting or condition describes the context or situation under which the learning will be demonstrated.

When the teacher is not familiar with the students, the content, or the context, much longer planning time should be expected in order to become prepared.

A 'pedagogical move' refers to any time the teacher changes his or her location in the class.

Behavioral objectives describe specific performance criteria that students will demonstrate within each general objective area.

There are only a few ways to format and write a daily lesson plan for physical education instruction.
