“To insure effective

instruction of

media and

technology”

AAnalyze the Learners

AAnalyze Learners

General Characteristics- identify your learners

Specific Entry Competencies- know what your learners are capable of doing

Learning Styles- how an individual perceives, interacts with

and responds emotionally to the learning environment

Matching the characteristics of the learner with the content of the methods, media, and materials

Learning Styles

Gardner says, “not all people have the same abilities; not all people learn in the same

way.”

Information Processing Habits

• Concrete Sequential-direct hands-on experiences in logical order– Workbooks– Programmed instruction– Demonstrations– Structured laboratory approaches

Information Processing Habits

• Concrete Random-lean toward a trial and error approach– Games– Simulations– Independent study projects– Discovery Learning

Information Processing Habits

• Abstract Sequential-learners decode verbal and symbolic messages adeptly– Reading presentations– Listening to presentations

Information Processing Habits

• Abstract Random-draw meaning from human mediated presentations respond to tone and style of speakers– Group discussions– Lectures with question answer periods– Videotapes– Television

SState the Objectives

SState Objectivestate Objectives

Audience- learning takes place when learners are active, mentally

processing an idea, or physically practicing a skill.

Behavior -the verb describing the new capabilities that the

audience will have after instruction

Conditions-the performance that is to be observed by the learners

Degree-the standard by which acceptable performance will be

judged

A statement of what will be achieved, not how it will be achieved

SSelect Method, Media, and

Materials

Choosing a Method-any given lesson will probably incorporate two or more

methods to serve different purposes at a different points in the progression of the lesson

Choosing a Media-the physical form in which a message is incorporated

and displayed- still images, text, voice, music, etc.

Selecting Materials-available-modify existing-design new

UUtilize Media and Materials

UUtilize Media and Materialstilize Media and Materials

Preview the materials-always preview instruction materials before using them-materials should be appropriate for your audience and

objectives

Prepare the materials-gather all of the equipment you and the students will

need-determine the sequence

Prepare the environment-arrange the facilities for proper student use of the

materials and media

Use of media and materials by the students and teachers.

UUtilize Media and Materialstilize Media and Materials

Prepare the learners-give a broad overview of the content and lesson or-tell how the lesson relates to the topic being studied

or-give a motivating statement that creates a need to

know by telling learners how they will profit from the lesson

-give cues directing attention to specific aspects of the lesson

Provide the learning Experience-direct attention to the classroom

Use of media and materials by the students and teachers.

Behaviorist Perspective-learning is a process of trying various behaviors and

keeping those that lead to favorable results.

Cognitivists Perspective-learners build up a mental schemata when their minds are actively engaged in struggling to remember or apply a new concept or principle

Constructivists Perspective-learning is an active process where knowledge is built on the basis of experience

Social Psychologists Perspective-interpersonal communication as the social basis for

knowledge acquisition

Active participation in the learning process enhances learning.

EEvaluate and Revise

Evaluate and Revise

Assessment of Learner Achievement-Did students learn what they were suppose to

learn?

Evaluation of Methods and Media-Were the instructional methods and materials

effective?

Revision-What changes need to be made in the lesson?

Designed to detect and correct learning/teaching problems and difficulties with the instruction that may interfere with

student achievement
