Unit Guide
Robert Gagné, an educational psychologist, created the Nine Events of Instruction as a
structure for instructional design that helps process learning strategies and activities.
Accordingly, each step acts as confirmation that learning has taken place. When each step
is completed, the learner is expected to retain the information and be more engaged in the
succeeding lessons. It has three segments:
1. Preparation: gaining attention, informing learners of the objective, and stimulating
recall of prior learning
2. Instruction and Practice: presenting the stimulus, providing learning guidance,
eliciting performance, and providing feedback
3. Assessment and Transfer: assessing performance and enhancing retention and
transfer

following safety guidelines and practicing safety practices.”

safety during sudden and unpredictable calamities? Here are
safety tips we can follow:
● Be aware and attentive at all times, whether at home, work,
or on the street.
● Maintain correct posture to avoid ergonomic hazards. Ask for
help if you are lifting heavy objects.
● Use equipment properly by asking for guidance and following
instructions.
● Locate emergency exits, especially at work.
● Practice the 5S: sort, set, shine, sustain and standardize.
● Join safety drills to know what to do in a sudden disaster.
