Education cannot be separated from human life.
Learning is everywhere and it’s up to us
how we acquire learning, maybe from schooling or through personal experiences in our everyday life. This instructional planning makes an effective teaching which enables teachers to address the needed learnings of every learner. There are components of instructional planning and by interviewing three professional personalities we will identify those components and which they believe are the most important component in instructional planning. The first person I interviewed is no other than Ms. Margielyn O. Toledo, who lives in San Jacinto, San Manuel, Tarlac. She is a LET passer and a beginning teacher with two months, and counting, experience in teaching. According to her, the components of instructional planning are creating goals, choosing methodologies and strategies, and selecting relevant assessments. The most important component of instructional planning for her is “creating goals” because according to her it is the first process we should do and without it teachers will not be able to address the learnings needed by each of our students. Without goals you’re just planning for nothing. An additional to this interview, Ma’am Marge also shares a scenario while teaching MAPEH in the current school where she’s working at. She told me that two of her students are chatting and laughing while she is discussing in front that’s why she reacts upon it. She asks those students why they’re laughing and found out they’re just talking about some rumors or gossip. Teacher Marge reminds them to listen carefully and attentively because it is also for them and teachers always care for their students. That’s why the act of teacher Marge is just a way of correcting learners’ misbehavior. Another professional person I interviewed is Ms. Zaira T. Toledo, who lives in San Jacinto, San Manuel, Tarlac. She’s a LET passer also just like teacher Marge and now she’s teaching in public school for almost 3 years. According to her, there are eight components of instructional planning, namely, Learning Objectives, Assessment, Instructional Strategies, Materials and Resources, Learning Activities, Classroom Management, Differentiation and Evaluation and Reflection. Among the components that she mentioned, the most important for her is the learning objectives. She defines it as the tone for the entire session or unit. She says that the learning objectives should be specific and quantifiable. They serve as a guide when choosing teaching methods, resources, and evaluation techniques. She also said that with the use of objectives, instruction is made sure to be in line with the general norms and purposes of education. Lastly, she said that articulated goals facilitate students' comprehension of expectations, resulting in heightened drive and involvement. The last person I interviewed is a veteran teacher which has 40 years of teaching experience in public school and 10 yrs in private school. She is Mrs. Florida M. Abaya. She lives in Aringin, Moncada, Tarlac. According to Ma’am Abaya there are three major components of instructional planning first is learning objectives, then next is the assessment and the last one is the instructional activities. For her, all of the mentioned components are important but the most important among them is the learning objectives. She emphasized the word “Educational Objectives” wherein she said that students should master it. She also mentioned considering the three domains in objective which have an abbreviation CAP or the cognitive, affective and the psychomotor. She said that in planning objectives, it should jive all parts of the lesson and there’s always an integration of moral values that is related to the lesson. She also said that a well- prepared learning objective is half accomplished with proper methodologies and assessment, then we say it’s fully achieved. Upon interviewing a veteran like Ma’am Abaya, we also talk about the 4As and the PPCGA which can help me as an aspiring teacher. The 4As which is the Activity, Analysis, Abstraction, Application. The PPCGA is what Ma’am Abaya said she preferred using than the 4As. PPCGA stands for Preparation, Presentation, Comparison, Generalization, Application but as what Ma’am Abaya said which I can relate is that we used to make it PPCAG not PPCGA and we are same interpretation about that which it becomes trial and error since the application comes first before generalization if we follow the PPCAG. In conclusion, all components of instructional planning are important to make effective teaching and learning. It is how the teacher is creative and knowledgeable in teaching, and how the learners are responsible in their learnings. Me as an aspiring teacher, I use my language and my skills in communication in acquiring the learnings I’m sharing here in my paperwork. See from planning “what I need or want to learn” which is the content of my work, to “how I will acquire the knowledge” which I do a personal interview not just chatting them on messeger or any online platforms, and lastly my feedback or on how I’m going to react and share the knowledge or learnings I acquired.
