LESSON 6:

Things to Consider
in
Planning Instruction
Introduction
The same thing can be said about instructional planning. These are
many things that you have to consider in order to deliver a
successful unit or lesson. In this chapter, you will learn six of these
things -CONTENT, OBJECTIVES, CLASSROOM
ENVIRONMENT, MATERIALS, STUDENTS, and TEACHER.
All of these elements are crucial in planning for effective
instructions.
01. CONTENT
One of the primary elements that should be
considered in instructional planning is the content.
Basically, teacher need to know what they will
teach in order to effectively prepare their lesson. In
talking content, it is important to distinguish
between two types of knowledge: DECLARATIVE
and PROCEDURAL.
• Declarative knowledge
It entails knowing about something, in other words,
declarative knowledge comes in the form of facts,
concept, and generalizations

• Procedural knowledge
It is knowing how to do something,In other words
procedural knowledge is in the form of skills.
02. Objectives
An objective is a specific statement of learning
outcomes. It describes what we want our students
to do and how we will know if they are already
there. Taking into account the objective of the
lesson is important because these statements are
vitals in assessing student learning and evaluating
the effectiveness of instruction.
• Standard learning outcomes
Standard are more general outcome statements that can
be achieved in weeks, quarter, year, and year's

• Competencies learning outcomes


Competencies are more specific and can be achieved in a
short period of time, probably in a day or week. The
learning competencies in a quarter are consistent with the
content and performance standard
• In planning social studies instruction, teacher should
place importance in developing student's higher
thinking skills, represented by the upper three
categories in bloom's Taxonomy. On the major
criticism of social studies education in the Philippines
is it's emphasis on factual recall and rote
memorization, which are considered lower order
thinking skills. To counter this, teacher should ensure
that they incorporate analysis, evaluation, and creation
objectives. And activities in their instructions to
produce critical learners.
03. Classroom Environment
Students learn more when there is a positive classroom
environment, the reason why teachers should also take this
into account in instructional planning. They have to ensure
that they have a welcoming and stimulating classroom, one
where studenti feel regarded and represented and at the
same time excited to learn new things. They should also
foster a healthy social environment where students interact
with each other and no child is excluded.

3. Post them; (2014) for following them; and
Guidelines
4. Refer to them often; 8. Enforce them
consistently
04. Materials
Another thing to consider in planning instruction is the
materials. Schoenfeldt and Salsbury (2009) defined
materials as any item, tool, or piece of equipment used to
support the lesson before, during, or after instruction. This
may come in the form of visual aids (maps, photos), media
equipment (LCD projector, laptop), tools (compass, ruler),
realia (artifacts, coins), print sources (song lyrics,
documents), and manipulatives (puzzles, globe).
practical considerations in the use of
instructional materials:
Materials should be ready to Teachers should preview the materials in
order to explain difficult terms to
use and located nearby before
students, anticipate misconceptions,
beginning the instruction. answer queries, and make meaningful
connections

sensitive.
05. Students
The student is the heart of the learning
process. As such, they should be given utmost
consideration in instructional planning. In
order to effectively facilitate learning, teachers
should take into account the following in the
planning process:
1. Student readiness.
This refers to the ability level of a student in relation to a given
topic and skill.

2. Student interest.
This is considered as a powerful motivator to engage students
in the learning process.
3. Intelligence Preference or Learning
Style
This refers to the different cognitive inclinations that a person
has for learning.
One effective way of facilitating learning in a diverse classroom
is through the use of differentiation, Fautley (2013) defines
differentiation as a deliberate pedagogical strategy by which
teachers create conditions in which the curriculum is made
accessible to individual students in ways which are appropriate
to their needs and which allow them to function to their fullest
potential.
06. Teacher
Finally, it is important for teachers to take into account
their own knowledge for instruction to become more
effective. According to Mishra and Koehler (2006). a
teacher's knowledge is comprised of three components:
content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and
technological knowledge.
1. Content
refers to knowledge
the teacher's knowledge about the subject matter that will be
taught. This includes knowledge of concepts, theories, ideas, frameworks,
and established practices and approaches in the development of such
knowledge

2. Pedagogical knowledge
refers to the teacher's knowledge about the process of teaching and
learning. This includes the understanding of the principles of learning,
classroom management, instructional approaches and strategies, and
assessment practices.
3. Technological
is the teacher'sknowledge
knowledge of and ability to usetechnological tools and
associated resources. This includes knowing how to use technology such as
accessing information in the Internet, being aware of how to process such
information, and being able to adapt to new technologies.
