Instructional Activities Instructional Activities refer to all experiences that are provided that will help students to learn. These include: Motivational Orientation Information Application Evaluation

Motivational –The internal interests that lead students to want to learn and to put in the effort required for learning What strategies will I use to: stimulate and maintain students’ interest? help students see the relevance of the information? increase students confidence and satisfaction in learning?

Orientation-Knowing where you are in relation to your intended objective. The purpose is to help students see what they have previously learned what they are currently learning and what they’ll subsequently learn.It is used to : introduce a lesson move from one part of the lesson to the next summarize the lesson

Instructional Activities Information- What is the major content and how is it sequenced? What strategies will I use to help students understand and see the relationships among ideas, apply and remember them?

Evaluation- determination of mastery of the task Application-Allows students to try out their new knowledge and skills.It involves: practice guidance feedback Evaluation- determination of mastery of the task

Implementing The Lesson Prepare the learning environment Prepare the learners Proceed with the lesson

Prepare the Learning Environment Prepare the facilities Seating Ventilation Lighting

Prepare the Learners Gain attention of learners Create a need to learn/know the content (provide a rationale for learning) Present overview of content Provide advance organizer

Proceed With The Lesson Give clear instructions Set the stage for learning Orient students to tasks and roles Set the stage for learning- at the outset of a learning activity , establish an atmosphere for learning.Remove potential distractions.Students sometimes deliberately slow the pace of instruction by asking unnecessary questions or requesting unneeded directions. Presenting the goals of the activity

Proceed With The Lesson Maintain attention ( vary tasks, encourage student interaction and involvement,vary pacing,and calling on students) Display warmth and enthusiasm

Proceed With The Lesson Use questions frequently (maintain students’ involvement, promote thinking,assess learning, verify students understanding of instruction) Be sensitive to the changing needs of learners

Proceed With The Lesson Provide frequent feedback Strive for clear explanations Make smooth transitions (make clear connections between concepts,steps,activities etc) Summarize lesson (Closure) Make smooth transitions (make clear connections between concepts,ideas etc) Use explanatory links

Dealing with Inappropriate Behavior Coping Strategies With-it-ness Overlappingness Desist behaviors (Kounin 1970) With-it-ness refers to a teacher’s ability to accurately monitor all that is happening in the classroom ,including misbehavior.Teachers who are with it spot these behaviours immediately. Overlappingness-the ability to deal with more than one classroom activity or episode at a time .it also refers to the teacher’s ability to inconspicuously deal with a particular misbehavior so the lesson is not interrupted. Desist behaviors- When deviant behaviouur is judged serious enough to warrant a teacher response ,it is known as a desist incident.(Serious enough to lead to further widening management problems).Three teacher desist behaviour are: Clarity-the degree to which a teacher specifies what is wrong Firmness-The degree to which a teacher communicates “I mean it” Rougness- The degree to which a teacher expresses anger.(assertive discipline)

Teachers can exhibit appropriate dominance  1.     Establish clear expectations and consequences ·        Use a wide variety of verbal and physical reactions to students’ misbehavior      

Cue the class about expected behaviors through prearranged signals   Provide tangible recognition of appropriate behavior    Employ group contingency policies that hold the entire group responsible for behavioral expectations  

2  Establish and communicate learning goals at the beginning of the unit or lesson       Provide feedback on those goals       Continually and systematically revisit the goals        Provide summative feedback regarding the goals   3     Exhibit assertive behaviour
