 According to Caswell and Campbell:

 1. Subject matter units: An arrangement of the material and the conditions of learning planned and developed to result in the
desired products of learning.
 Topical unit
 The generalization unit.
 The unit based on significant aspect of environment or culture.

2. Experience unit and process unit: It is the basis for the activity programme emphasized in elementary grades
 Students purpose unit: It is based on the series of activities which the learner carries out in order to achieves a given and
objective. Culmination occurs when the learner achieves the purpose setup. It must be planned continuously as it develops.
 Students need Unit: This unit of learning is based on needs which the student recognized as essential activities and subject
matter are selected in relation to student’s needs. The unifying force is the student requirements.

3. Resource Unit: A compendium of suggested activities and material, accompanied by statement of significance, scope, objectives,
educational resources material and suggestions for everything used by teachers in their preparation for teacher - student unit
planning

ADVANTAGES:

 It helps in proper coverage of the syllabus of that subject with in available time and duration of the course as syllabus is
divided into units.
 It provides organization of subjects matter and learning experiences into meaningful units.
 It makes both the students and teacher clear about the goals and objectives of the content matter to be covered in the unit.
 Unit plan lays stress on the formulation of teaching learning objectives of the unit in behavioral terms.
 In unit planning, a teacher is well informed about the types of methods and strategies used and the material and material and
resources utilized for teaching learning of various sub divisions. It helps teacher to make adequate preparations for the utilization
of proper methods and resource material for providing instructions.
 Planning of activities and resources beforehand add division of the content material into complete and meaningful units and the
sub units.

experiences of the sub units.
 Unit planning paves the way for a proper and appropriate daily lesson planning. A teacher feels comfortable in his daily task of
his daily lesson planning in view of the blueprint provided by it.

DISADVANTAGES:
 The division of the contents of the syllabus into meaningful and complete units and sub- division s in not
an easy job. Improper and faulty formation of units and subunits may create hurdles in the path of the teachers
and students for the proper teaching and learning of the subject.
 The unit planning puts restrictions on the freedom of teachers. The predetermined objectives, learning experiences,
methods of evaluations, etc. leave little scope of originality and creativity of the teacher needed in the changed
situations and circumstances in the classroom environment.
 The teaching – learning process becomes too much time bound through the adoption of unit planning. Limitations and
restrictions of time provided by the unit planning makes a big obstacle for the desired teaching and learning in one
or the other subjects of the curriculum.
 Unit planning may make the teacher too much conscious for the implementation of planned scheme as the planning
becomes an end instead of remaining means for the realization of the teaching- learning objectives.
 It makes the teaching and learning as planning – centered rather than student – centered.
 It prevents flexibility in the teaching – learning process.
