LESSON PRESENTATIONS

During lesson presentations, two


processes are interacting with each
other to change the behaviour of
learners positively
The processes are teaching and
learning
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TEACHING AND
LEARNING
The relationship between these two variables is
rather complex, because it is not always
possible for teaching to result in learning, but
other factors may also contribute to learning.
(Bergh etal 1998)
There is clear connection between the quality of
teaching and the quality of learning
activity(Fraser, Loubser and Van Roy 1993)
Teaching is therefore a number of external
events which are designed to support the
learning process. (Gagne 1985)
What makes up an effective lesson
It is not easy to predict the facets of an effective lesson as
effective teaching is a combination of artistic and
scientific applications.
It is artistic because it tries to change abstract things
into concrete. It is also an intrinsic form of expression
which often occurs intuitively.
Teaching as an art therefore combine creativity and
practical ability to combine different skills in a
completely new unique way to provide for unique and
unforeseen situations and circumstances.
Teaching as a science is the ability to observe and analyse
teaching, make inferences and statements about it and
provide guidelines for practice.( Bergh etal (1998)
THE WHOLESOME LESSON
An effective lesson is one that combines both art
and science.
Overemphasising just one of the views can lead
either to theory that is remote from practice or
to practice that is insensitive to major teaching
problems.
List down artistic behaviours and scientific
studies that may contribute to an effective lesson.
Say how the artistic behaviour and scientific
studies can influence your decisions in lesson
presentations.
EFFECTIVE LESSON PRESENTATION
INTRODUCTION.
Capture the interest of the learner on the
outset.
Link up prior knowledge with the contents of
the lesson.
Use the prior knowledge to build up bridges
between pupil existing schemes and new
schemes.
TECHNIQUES FOR INTRODUCING LESSONS
USE OF ADVANCE ORGANISERS.
This is based on the assumption that pupils
have an existing cognitive structure in any
given subject which places them in the right
frame of reference to organise their thinking.
(Clark and Star 1991:87)
Examples of Advance organisers are case
studies, videos ,cartoons used to activate
pupils’ prior knowledge.
TECHNIQUES FOR INTRODUCING LESSON
CONTINUED
Setting the objectives of the learning
encounter.
This method is suitable for adult learners
persuing a course.
Use of attention openers
These are questions which do not have a
definite answer but are structured to heighten
the pupils’ level of curiosity by either amusing,
stimulating or bewildering them so that they
are receptive to questions that follow.
INTRODUCTION TECHNIQUES CONTINUED
RECAP OF PREVIOUS LESSON.
It is a means of revision that bridges previous
knowledge and new knowledge.
THE USE OF ANECDOTES
An anecdote is a short interesting story that
relates to the lesson development for the day
(eg the story of the army general)
MIDDLE PHASE OF THE LESSON/
PRESENTING THE LEARNING CONTENT
Select the methods and media that are
suitable to make the learners understand.
Ensure the whole class participates.
Check at regular intervals that the pupils are
following up to reach the objectives.
(Formative evaluation)
Give the pupils regular feedback by applying
all knowledge of learning ie( the art and
science of teaching)
THINGS TO NOTE DURING PRESENTATION
Use effective questioning techniques.
Organise pupil activities
Ensure active pupil involvement.
Give instant positive feedback.
Facilitate learning the process
Monitor the learning environment.
Give clear instructions.
Maintain a suitable presentation pace.
Watch out for content sequence
Use markers for emphasis and attention
Use appropriate examples effective media and
teaching method
FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN ACHIEVING
EFFECTIVE LESSON DELIVERY
Teaching and learning method.
This should fit well with the nature of the content,
lesson objectives, and the group composition.
Media functionality
Media should never be used for the sake of using
them. One needs to consider their appeal to the
group, their utilisation, and their impact on content
retention.
Question Suitability
These should be well planned so that the are
stimulating, problem solving centred, motivational
and encouraging
LESSON CONCLUSION
It provides a final opportunity to consolidate
and strengthen what has been taught.
It is a way of ensuring that pupils assimilate
and retain what has been taught.
It can also provide a link to the next lesson
METHODS OF CONCLUDING LESSONS
Question and answer.
Summary
Giving an evaluation exercise
LESSON EVALUATION
What is evaluation?
What aspects of a lesson plan do you
think need to be evaluated and why?
WHAT YOU SHOULD ANSWER IN AN
EVALUATION
Have I achieved the objectives and what contributed
to the success or failure?
Was my teaching method appropriate if yes what
makes it proper if no then why and how can I modify
it in the future?
Did I make full use of the teaching aids, what about
their design, visibility and suitability to the group?
Were my interaction methodologies varied and
appealing to group dynamics?
Did I apply the motivational techniques to the best
advantage?
How do I feel about the class?
