In this paper, we show how education is to important
in our living. How education affects ourselves and also to
expand our ideas about education and educative process. This
will also be a first page before going deeply about complex
lesson for better understanding. This will also help to
enhance student`s understanding about what is learning
outcomes and its importance and they will be aware about
pupil`s mentality and that affects its state of learning.

Abstraction
The Meaning of Education
Education is such a thing that helps us to gain self-
confidence and lead a successful life in future. it assists
us to achieve our aim. education introduces us to the world
of science and technology. The more you are educated, the
more you advance to your goal. Moreover, education doesn't
mean only to memorize, in fact it means to gain practical
knowledge and understand the reality. The main aim of
education is to establish us in this dynamic world.
Education is a life long journey for every person. A person
experiences most of their education through school from
grade school all the way to high school and even college. We
also experience education through life challenges.
The root meaning of education is given as bringing up
or lending out or making manifest the inherent
potentialities in a pupil. Broadly speaking, education
refers to any act or experience that has a formative effect
on the personality of an individual. Such a view of
education will include ail of life's experiences. In a
technical sense, however; education refers to the process by
which society, through its different institutions,
deliberately transmits its cultural heritage to its young
- its accumulated values, knowledge and skills from one
generation to another,
Education is often regarded as synonymous with learning,
as the acquired experience of any sort—intellectual,
emotional or sensor motor. Education is product of
experience, it is the process by which and through which the
experience of the race, i.e. knowledge, skills and attitudes
are transmitted to the members of the community. John
Dewey speaks of ''education as that reconstruction or
reorganization of experience which adds to the meaning of
experience and which increases ability to direct the course
of subsequent experiences." Education proceeds from birth to
death and the schools is not the only agency that imparts
education.
Though the school exerts greater influence in
educating the child, other social agencies like home,
religion, press, radio, library, cinema, television, etc.,
supplement its work. Life involves constant and continuous
modifications of experience. Ideas change, attitudes and
skills undergo alterations; Education is the process of
helping the child to adjust to this changing world. Such an
adjustment is not a "somehow" one but a superior adjustment.
The best type of education is that which guides the immature
child to live his life richly and abundantly, at the same time
to contribute to social betterment. The aim of education has
varied from race to race and generation to generation but the
main point of emphasis has always been on the mental and
physical growth of the individual. The methods employed at
various ages may also be different but the basic factor remains
the same. The child is subjected to certain experiences that
are intended to modify its behavior for proper adjustment to a
changing environment.
Educational adjustment of the child is conditioned by
the nature and demands of society to which the child should
be adapted and attuned; so what could pass for superior
adjustment a few centuries ago will be valueless in the
society of today. The most distinctive feature of modern
society is its science-based technology. It is this which has
helped modern societies to increase their production
spectacularly. Science-based technology has other important
implications for social and cultural life. The changes that
occur as a result of its impact are broadly described as
modernization. This modernization affects the educational
system also.
There has been a great explosion of knowledge during the
last few decades. In a traditional society, the stock of
knowledge was limited and grew slowly. The main aim of
education was interpreted lobe the preservation of this
accumulated treasure. But in modem society, knowledge in
every subject is cumulative, so that as each year passes,
there is more to be learnt. One is cumulative, so that as
each year passes, there is more to be learnt. One of the main
tasks of education in a modern society is to keep pace with
this advance in knowledge. In such a society, knowledge cannot be
received passively. It is something that is to be actively
discovered. The main account in education should be on the
awakening of curiosity, the stimulation of creativity, the
development of proper interests, attitudes and values and the
building of essential skills such as independent study and
capacity to think and judge for oneself.
The Indian Education Commission (1964-66) observes that
education must serve as a powerful instrument of social,
economic and cultural transformation necessary for the
realization of the national goals. Along with the knowledge
explosion that is found in developed countries, we see another
factor, namely population explosion, particularly in developing
countries, that is trying to change the pattern of life. Most
countries in the world are faced in some form or another, with
these problems and what is needed today is an "education
explosion*. Curing illiteracy is the immediate problem in
developing countries. It has been estimated that half of the
world's population is totally illiterate and they mostly live
in developing countries. To obliterate this problem, we need
more teachers and yet, this cannot be a complete solution for
the ever increasing problem of illiteracy.
Technology provides the necessary answer to many of these
problems. Technology of education is being developed with the
aim not only of making education more widely available but also
of improving the quality of education which is already
available. The nature of these emerging educational techniques
has been influenced by modern psychology, Piaget's work on
behavior and capabilities of children with his orientation
towards the learner and his needs and his emphasis on the
importance of maturational factors has been felt everywhere.
Likewise Professor B F Skinner's work on learning situation
has created a revolution in the field of educational
technology. The relationship between the objectives of
education and instructional technology appears to be
reciprocal. Developments in technology bring about changes and
shifts in educational goals which, in their turn, stimulate the
emergence of newer techniques.
When we view the educational scene today, we are elated as
well as confused- We are gratified at the significant advances
in the field of education, in its basic theory as well as in
its tools and techniques as these augur well for human
welfare. At the same time we are aware of the conflicts and
contradictions that have appeared on the educational are
leading to doubt and despair.
Basic education is more than just learning how to read,
write and calculate. It
Encompasses the broadest possible sense of learning --
formal, non-formal and informal and at any stage of life.
Learning takes place in and out of school -- in the home,
the local community, the workplace, and in recreational and
other settings. Not confined tochildhood and the formative
years, it extends from infancy throughout the whole of life.
What exactly does basic education mean? Basic refers to
the competencies, knowledge,attitudes, values and
motivations that are deemed necessary in order for people to
become fully literate and to have developed the educational
foundations for a lifelong learning journey. Basic education
is not a fixed or clear-cut concept and most countries have
chosen to restrict 'basic' to primary schooling, meaning the
first stage of formal schooling. 'Basic', in an increasing
number of countries, however, now encompasses junior
secondary schooling and in other it extends to a full
secondary education. China, for example, is shifting the
focus for much of the country from the primary school to the
nine years compulsory school, preceded by a variety of early
childhood care and education programmers. In Brazil, a law
adopted in 1996 defined the whole system from day care
provision to the end of secondary schooling as 'basic'.
Throughout Europe, North America, Australia, Japan and parts
of South East Asia, 'basic' includes both primary and
secondary levels. In a small but growing number of
countries, some kind of post secondary or tertiary education
is almost becoming 'basic' in that it is seen as a
foundation for working life or further studies for all
youth.
The Educative Process
There is a tendency among some people to define education
by its aim or end rather than by its process, Herbert Spencer
makes the aim of education more specific by stating that
education is a preparation for "complete living". The moment
we examine how this is to be done, we probe deep into the
process itself. Most people will admit that education is a
process. Sir John Adams says that it is a 'bipolar* process,
the two poles being the teacher and the pupil. Of the two
poles, one is active and the other is passive.
The active aspect is sometimes called subjective and the
passive, objective. The perceiving mind is the subjective one,
while the outside world that it perceives is objective. To
keep the educated in a state of activity is the very essence
of successful education. At the earlier stages, the teacher
may be an active member playing the directing role but very
soon, as the process of education goes on, the teacher must
liberate himself from the educative process. The less the
pupils rely upon the teacher, the better; a successful
teacher must enable his pupils to do without him.However,
Adamson in his tripolar theory of education gives the teacher
a basic place and role in the educative process.
In actual working process, we find there are at least
three aspects that are essential to the concept of education.
The first of these is the universally accepted notion that
education implies modification of the education. The second
element is that education is a deliberate process of
transmitting all the resources and achievements of a complex
society. The third essential quality is that the process of
education must always imply the use of an instrument. There
must be some means by which the deliberate modification may
be accomplished. This instrument is knowledge in its various
forms. Teaching is more than mere communication of knowledge.
Hence education can be defined as the process of deliberately
guiding the development of pupils by the communication and
manipulation of knowledge, which in its wake fosters needed
skills and attitudes.
Importance of Student and Learning Outcome
Student learning outcomes are defined in terms of
the knowledge, skills, and abilities that students have
attained as a result of their involvement in a particular
set of educational experiences.
Student learning outcomes are the accumulated
knowledge, skills, and attitudes that students develop
during a course of study. Learning outcomes are a particular
category of program outcomes, which may include broader
elements such as graduation rates, faculty and graduate
students' publications, and job placement. See
the examplesof learning outcomes below.
Learning outcomes should:
Represent a fundamental result of the course of
study or program-does it assess what is most
important?
Clearly describe what students are asked to do
using action verbs(write an essay, complete a
laboratory exercise, compose an original piece of
music or art)
Ask students to apply what they have learned by
producing something Include a time frame for
students to accomplish this goal (end of second
year, end of program)
Be specific and measurable
There are three types of learning outcomes, all of which can
be assessed:
Knowledge outcomes address content and methods of
the discipline. For example: "students can compare
and contrast three major theories of political
economics," or "students will demonstrate advanced
proficiency in their language of specialization."
Skills outcomes describe the techniques and
approaches required for work in the discipline. For
example: for communication skills: "students can
explain
their project assumptions clearly and concisely;"
for critical thinking skills: "students can evaluate
the strengths and weaknesses of research designs;"
or for quantitative skills: "students can analyze
data and compare results to theoretical
predictions."
Attitude outcomes may address commitment,
appreciation, or openness. For example: "students
appreciate the importance of confidentiality,
truthfulness, and integrity in research involving
human subjects," or "students demonstrate an
openness to the religion, cultural mores, and
philosophy of different cultures."
It is important to define outcomes as clearly and
explicitly as possible. The more explicit and overt the
statements of learning outcomes are, the easier it will be
to measure learning. Below are a number of examples on how
to differentiate between covert or implied outcomes and
overt or explicit student learning outcomes.
For a very long time, it was thought that mere information
was tantamount to knowledge. Traditional education operated on
the assumption that thetime-consuming steps of learning
could be bypassed; that the final knowledge could be
transmitted to the learner by a sort of 'intellectual
intravenous feeding process. Schools were considered knowledge
shops, and teacher’s information mongers.
Subjects were taught according to logical method of
presentation and little attention was paid to the eagerness,
curiosity and capability of the pupils. But soon this gave
way to child-centered education, thanks to the efforts of
progressive educationists like Rousseau, Pestalozzi, Froebel,
Montessori, John Dewey and others. As a result education has
become more interested in the 'whole child’, all the thoughts,
feelings and actions of the individual pupil, in his mental
and social development rather than in the slices of more or
less information doled out to him in the classroom.
As a result of the impact of educational technology, a few
ideas have acquired currency in education. One idea is that
education should be an individual activity to a much greater
extent. Not all children should be forced to go through the
same steps of learning at the same speed. The quick students
will move faster in their learning whereas the slow learner
will need more time.
Another idea is that children learn best in different ways
and at different times. Some children may learn better through
the use of different learning materials rather than merely
listening to an inspirational talk by the teacher. The style of
learning may also change according to age. According to
psychologists, children learn best if they use their senses
in acquiring knowledge. As they grow older, they may be able to
learn in a more abstract way.
One idea is that learning can be accomplished faster and
better through reinforcement. For several years, children
learnt to read, memorized tables and performed operations in
arithmetic under the threat of punishment. As a result of the
reform movement, positive consequences are now being made
effective by proper reinforcement. The well-known
psychologist, B F Skinner, put forward a revolutionary idea
that the amount of learning could be enhanced if the knowledge
to be learnt were broken into small pieces and each piece
presented so clearly that the pupil could not make mistakes. A
very slight immediate reinforcement at every correct response
would have a tremendous effect on controlling behavior The
arrangement of tiny bits of knowledge into a logical sequence
is called the program. The process is called programmed
learning. Programmed instruction is a kind of game in which
the student can hardly lose. The more he wins, the more he
wants to win and the more he wants to learn.
Application
The student will be given a 3:00 to 5:00 minutes
to think after that the teacher will randomly call a student to
explain what is the Nature of education and educative process.

Lesson 2 Education Approach
Introduction
In this paper, we show what are the differences
between the teachers of yesterday and teachers of today and
their progress in teaching. This will also help the students
to be aware of any traditional or practical way teaching
that will help them to understand and enlighten their
knowledge. That will help them if they can encounter any
situation that will pass in their career
Activity
Drill: Debate
Topic: The teachers of today and yesterdays
Instruction: the class will be divided at
2 groups its either the teachers of today
or teachers of yesterday, they will debate which is the
best regarding of the materials or tools in teaching
weather its teachers of today or yesterdays.
Analysis
Objective of the Lesson
At the end of the lesson, the students will be able
to:
Explain the traditional approach of teaching.
Differentiate the teachers of yesterday and today.
Explain the pragmatic use of acquired knowledge.
Abstraction
The Teacher of Yesterday and Today
Differentiation is hot! Teachers, supervisors, and
administrators are riding the wave of this trend for one of
three reasons – because it's being splashed through the
educational literature, because it's the latest "in" thing,
or, perhaps, because it makes great good sense. While I
would prefer that it be for the latter reason, the whole
thing reminds me of the song Everything Old Is New Again.
Back when I was completing my graduate work, sometime
between the invention of moveable type and the advent of
desktop computers, I was captivated by the work of Dr.
Virgil Ward, who coined the phrase "differential education"
to describe his ideas about providing appropriate education
for gifted and talented students. He suggested, essentially,
that we could best maximize student growth by beginning our
work with children based on where they were (what they knew
and how they best learned), and helping them to progress
from there. He presented his ideas axiomatically and his
intent, he said, was twofold:
The first purpose is to afford insight for classroom
teachers, supervisory personnel, and administrators into
essential qualities which enriched curricula must possess. .
. The second intention is that the principles serve as an
extensive check-list for instructional provisions already in
effect, again to determine whether the modifications of the
regular school program do, indeed, possess potential for a
higher quality of educational experience [for the gifted
youngster.]
When the theory of differential education was first
proposed, the fields of curriculum and instruction were much
more closely aligned than they are today, intersecting in
circles of practice that comprised the activity of teaching.
Instructional design was part of curriculum and curriculum
was part of instruction; assessment, moreover, was an
integral part of both. By positing a "differential education
system" that would meet the needs of students who were
gifted, Ward anticipated modifying curriculum and
individualizing instruction in systematic and creative ways
This notion was both profound and deceptively simple –
profound because it highlighted what teachers who focus on
the needs of children rather than on those of subject matter
actually do, and deceptively simple because it demanded that
we concentrate on teaching children based on who they were
and what they knew, rather than from who we wished they
were. It required that teachers understand both their
students and their subject matter intimately.
Although Ward's concept was premised on the needs of
gifted learners, it was (and is), applicable to all
students. In the almost half-century since he first
developed his ideas, numerous researchers have explored and
attempted to operationalize the tenets of differentiation
for classroom use; many teachers have used differential
education with all of their students in mixed-ability
classes, whether through direct knowledge of Ward's work or
simply because they assumed that was "how you teach." The
last half-a-dozen years, in particular, have yielded work
that extends the principles and practices of differentiation
into the general classroom, primarily through the efforts of
Dr. Carol Ann Tomlinson (herself a specialist in educating
the gifted).
And now everybody's doing it, or thinks that s/he is.
With popularization, however, has come confusion. Some write
and speak about "differentiated curriculum" and others about
"differentiated instruction." Few focus unambiguously on the
necessary combination of the two in order to create
differential education. Barbara Clark, in 1983, made the
need for this conjunction explicit in a statement which, in
my opinion, has yet to be matched ina its clarity:
The Traditional Approach
When we think of traditional education, we tend to
envision a professor standing behind a lectern delivering
the day’s notes as they apply to the topic at hand. There is
a set scope and sequence. Each day includes a pre-planned
lesson and topics to be discussed. The pace is set by the
curriculum used. Typically there is a text to follow and
some type of workbook where blanks will be filled in to make
sure the information is retained. Bringing the traditional
method home would look about the same, sans lectern — unless
Mom is REALLY into it!
These days, traditional materials come in a variety of
packaging. One variation on the textbook is the work text. A
work text is what it sounds like: a workbook combined with a
text resulting in one consumable volume. Work texts tend to
require less teacher instruction and allow the student to
work more independently. While still working within a
set scope and sequence, the student can move along at his or
her own pace. Work texts can be very useful when teaching
multiple children or children who are ahead of or behind the
curve.
Computer-based educational programs are becoming very
popular. One Christian publisher has a complete line of
computer-based materials with internet-safe connections,
multi-media presentations, automatic grading, and record
keeping. The programs are based on the publisher’s print
line, and follow a similar scope and sequence.
Most of us will use some type of textbook, workbook
and/or work text. If you are new to homeschooling,
traditional materials may sound like exactly what you need.
When we use traditional methods we feel secure that we are
“covering everything” since the lessons generally follow a
predictable scope and sequence, thus erasing fears of
learning gaps. There are usually teacher’s manuals available
(many times directed at home school moms in particular) that
contain not only answers, but useful explanations, teaching
tips, and directed activities. In some cases the lesson
plans are “scripted,” meaning the materials tell us exactly
how to teach the lesson right down to exactly what to say.
Scripted lessons can provide a boost of confidence when
tackling subjects that weren’t our personal favorite. There
is no shortage of quality traditional materials available
from Christian publishers.
“While we use textbooks as the basis for our children’s education, we don’t
run our homeschool like a classroom. One-on-one instruction and independent
learning are the key ingredients to our homeschooling.” – Steven and Teri
Maxwell,Managers of Their Schools
There are myriad ways of using traditional materials.
But using traditional materials within a traditional framework may
not achieve your home school goals. Rather than become a
slave to these materials, use them as your tools. Know where
you are headed and make sure the materials you select will
help you get there.
Here are a few other ideas to keep in mind when using
traditional materials:
Feel free to modify. Just because you use traditional
materials doesn’t mean you have to use them in a traditional
way. Take advantage of the one-on-one learning approach home
education provides and let the materials serve the child.
Does the publisher’s pace go too fast? Slow down. Has your
child already mastered a concept? Skip it. Was the program
written for the classroom? Feel free to skip the extra
worksheets and homework unless your child needs the extra
practice. And don’t worry if your child doesn’t neatly fit
into one grade level in all skill areas. Incorporate them
into your scope and sequence rather than worrying about your
child “falling behind.”
Feel free to enrich. Nothing will turn off the most
ardent learner faster than a steady diet of nothing but
textbooks, workbooks and work texts. As you continue to
explore other methods, borrow ideas that appeal to you and
implement them into the program. Most traditional methods
can be enlivened by incorporating rich literature, research
activities, writing projects, and hands-on activities. Keep
the textbook in its role as reference material and your
focus on the child.
Feel free to mix and match. Don’t feel you have to
purchase an entire line of curriculum from only one
publisher. Look at a publisher’s line of materials with a
critical eye, selecting those items that fit and rejecting
those that don’t. If you feel no child should leave home
without Latin and your preferred publisher doesn’t offer it
— add on another publisher’s Latin materials. If you feel
your preferred publisher doesn’t approach spelling in a way
that fits your child,supplement with a different approach or
use another product.
Pragmatic Use of Acquired Knowledge
Instruction, Awareness, and Acquisition of Pragmatics,
Unlike grammar, it is widely accepted that pragmatics is
something we teach to young children as they acquire their
L1. One’s knowledge of pragmatics and capacity to use
pragmatic strategies are gained both implicitly and
explicitly. Parents and peers provide corrective feedback,
rules, and models that assist in the development of L1
pragmatic ability (Kasper & Schmidt, 1996). As Kasper and
Schmidt (1996) point out, there is no pragmatic equivalent
to the language acquisition device that would eliminate the
need for any explicit pragmatic instruction. We are
socialized into a cultural paradigm of politeness.
Like L1 pragmatics, then, acquiring pragmatic fluency in the
L2 is likely to requireinstruction (Bouton, 1994; Cohen,
1996; House, 1996; Hinkel, 1997; LoCastro, 1997). Schmidt
(1993) and Bialystok (1993) offer two complimentary
proposals: Schmidt (1993) argues that the initial stages of
foreign language pragmatic acquisition require that learners
notice and focus attention on relevant input and Bialystok
(1993) argues that in order for adults to acquire pragmatic
competence they must be able to “develop the control
strategies to attend to the intended interpretations...and
to select forms...that satisfy the social and contextual
needs of teachers

Abstraction
The Need Based Curriculum
Curriculumrefers to the means and materials with which
students will interact for the purpose of achieving
identified educational outcomes. Arising in medieval Europe
was the trivium, an educational curriculum based upon the
study of grammar, rhetoric, and logic. The
later quadrivium (referring to four subjects rather than
three as represented by the trivium) emphasized the study of
arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy. These seven
liberal arts should sound a lot like what you experienced
during your formal education.
The emphasis on single subjects persists even today.
Very likely you moved from classroom to classroom,
particularly throughout your secondary education, studying a
different subject with each teacher. Yet there was more to
your education. Perhaps you participated in athletics, or
the band, or clubs, or student government, or made the
choice not to participate in any extracurricular activities.
All of these (including the option not to participate) are
part of what we might call the contemporary curriculum.
Some educators would say that the curriculum consists
of all the planned experiences that the school offers as part
of its educational responsibility. Then there are those who
contend that the curriculum includes not only the planned,
but also the unplanned experiences as well. For example,
incidents of violence that have occurred at a number of
schools across the nation are hardly a planned component of
the curriculum. However, the manner in which violence is
addressed before, during, and after the actual event sends a
very definite message about how people in our culture
interact and how the laws of our nation are applied.

Lesson 5Models and Teaching Theories
Introduction
Teaching plays a vital role in helping students to
become more efficient in their studies. This module is
designed to help teachers as well as students improve their
knowledge about the models and theories of instruction. This
can also assist them in the actual application of these
models and theories on the field of teaching.
Activity
Drill: OralTopic:Models and Teaching TheoriesInstructions:
The teacher will ask the students what are thethings they would do to convey or share knowledge toothers.
Gave students at least 2-3 min to share theiranswer to the class.
Analysis
Objective of the Lesson
To identify what are the models and theories ofinstruction/teaching theories.
To classify these models and theories of
instruction function.
To understand the effects of these theories.
Abstraction
Models and Theories of Instructions
Models of InstructionsJoyce and Weil (1996) describe four different
categories of models on instructions:
Behavioural System Models
Information Processing Models
Personal Development Models
Social Interaction Models
Behavioural System ModelsThe focus of this method associate with this
category is on observation skills and behavior.
Two major models in this category are:
Direct Instructions:
Highly structured, teacher-directed
maximization of student learning time.
Mastery Learning:
Given enough time and quality instruction,
nearly all students can master any set of
objective.
These method have generally prove more likely to
positively impact scores on standardized test of basic
skills than models in other categories.
Informal Processing ModelsThe focus of the methods associated with
information processing approaches is more linked to concept
and principle development in cognitive psychology.
Three major models in this category are:
Concept Attainment:
Categorizing information and concept
formation
Inquiry Training / Inductive Thinking:
Causal Reasoning, Interpretation of data, and
information of principle and theories.
Intellectual Development:
The Influence of maturity and thinking and
reasoning
Many of the test used to measure school learning are
being modified so that they consider important mental
processing skills that these models are designed to address.
Personal Development ModelsThe focus of these models is on those
outcomes held in high regard by humanistic educators.
High Self – concept and self esteem
Positive self – direction and independence
Creativity and curiosity
The development of affect and emotions
Three major models in this category are:
Facilitative Teaching:
Affective orientation; based on methods of
Carl Rogers.
Increasing Personal Awareness:
Focus is on developing an awareness and
fulfilment of individual potential.
Synectics:
Focus on the development and application of
creativity.
While these models have not demonstrated an
ability to impact outcomes associated with traditional
education, they do show promise in impacting other outcomes
important for the information age.
Social Interaction ModelsThe models associated with the social
interaction family are focused on developing the concepts
and skills needed to work in groups.
Two major models in this category are:
Cooperative Learning:
Working in groups; based on the methods
of Slavin and Johnson and Johnson.
Role Playing:
Study and development of social
behaviour and value.
Cooperative learning has demonstrated an
ability to impact standard achievement measuring as well as
group interaction.
Theories of Instruction
The Taxonomy of learning outcomes
Gagne's taxonomy of learning outcomes is somewhat
similar to Bloom's taxonomies of cognitive, affective, and
psychomotor outcomes (some of these taxonomies were proposed
by Bloom, but actually completed by others). Both Bloom and
Gagne believed that it was important to break down humans'
learned capabilities into categories or domains. Gagne's
taxonomy consists of five categories of learning outcomes -
verbal information, intellectual skills, cognitive
strategies, attitudes, and motor skills. Gagne, Briggs, and
Wager (1992) explain that each of the categories leads to a
different class of human performance.
The Condition of Learning
Essential to Gagne's ideas of instruction are what he
calls "conditions of learning." He breaks these down into
internal and external conditions. The internal conditions
deal with previously learned capabilities of the learner. Or
in other words, what the learner knows prior to the
instruction. The external conditions deal with the stimuli
(a purely behaviorist term) that are presented externally to
the learner. For example, what instruction is provided to
the learner?
The Event of Instructions
To tie Gagne's theory of instruction together, he
formulated nine events of instruction. When followed, these
events are intended to promote the transfer of knowledge or
information from perception through the stages of memory.
Gagne bases his events of instruction on the cognitive
information processing learning theory.
Theories of Teaching
A theory of teaching is a set of interrelated
constructs, definitions, propositions which present a
systematic view of teaching by specifying relations among
variables with the purpose of specifying relations among
variables with the purpose of explaining and predicting.
Formal Theories of Teaching
The theory which base upon certain logic, certain
metaphysical epistemological assumptions and propositions is
known as formal theory of teaching.
Meutic Theory Of Teaching
This Theory conceives that teaching process helps
to recollect or unfold the knowledge with questioning
techniques.
The Socratic Methods is an essential to this
theory.
The heredity plays an important role in teaching
process.

The Communication Theory of Teaching
This theory of teaching is based upon assumption
that the teacher possesses all knowledge and information
which student does not possess.
The teacher presents, explains, demonstrates and
perform in the classroom.
The Moulding Theory of Teaching
It has the focus on shape, form and mold of the
student behavior.
Human personality is formed, shaped and mould in
their environment.
The Mutual Inquiry Theory
The theory assumes that each individual has the
capacity to discover new knowledge with mutual inquiry
This theory of teaching is clearly applicable to
research and art.
Descriptive Theory of Teaching
Descriptive theory of teaching is based upon
certain propositions and each observation.

Lesson 6 Teaching Competency and Its Factors
Introduction
Teachers are always the ones that gave us
instructions or moulded us in the classroom and always vital
elements in learning. Knowing what their capable of and what
it needs to improve the way they teach will be a great
factor on enhancing the skills and knowledge that we need
in.
Activity
Drill: Oral
Topic:Teaching Competency and Its Factors
Instruction:
The Teacher will ask the students what are the
things they like their about their teachers.
Next call out some students and gave them time
to speak what they like about their teacher.
Analysis
Objective of the Lesson
To identify the different teaching competency. To familiarize the factors of teaching
competencies. To understand teaching competencies and its
affect students.
Abstraction
Teaching CompetencyThere are a large number of instructional and related
activities to be performed by the teacher inside and outside
the classroom. These activities are of varied types. The
effective organization of these activities would require
that a teacher possesses a certain amount of knowledge and
also certain attitudes and skills. This is known as teaching
competence. In other words, teacher competence refers to
“the right way of conveying units of knowledge, application
and skills to students”. The right way here includes
knowledge of content, processes, methods and means of
conveying content. Any definition of teaching competence
depends on teaching in a particular setting, the culture and
values held in the community. It also depends on the
innumerable teacher and student characteristics and the
classroom context. The effectiveness or ineffectiveness of
teaching is closely linked to teaching competence. Competent
teacher would also create classroom conditions and climate,
which are conducive for student learning. Teaching
competency has various dimensions such as content knowledge,
instructional planning, student motivation, presentation and
communication skills, evaluation competencies and classroom
management skills. While the teacher would require all these
dimensions to a reasonable extent, it is in the
manifestation of these in an integrated manner that makes
him effective in the classroom context.
Common Teaching Competencies
1.) Competency I: Subject Matter Knowledge- The
effective early childhood, elementary, middle/secondary
school teacher demonstrates knowledge of:
a) The subject matter of Early Childhood,
Elementary, Reading, Middle, or Secondary School
education, including literature and the language arts,
mathematics, science, social studies, the arts, health
and physical education
b) The physical, social emotional, intellectual
and moral development of adolescents, both with and without
special needs;
c) Multidisciplinary structures, teaming and
interdisciplinary planning;
d) The relationships among the disciplines taught
in the middle/secondary school.
2) Competency II: Communication Skills-The effective
teacher-
a) Communicates sensitively with language appropriate
to students’ ages, levels of development, gender, race, and
ethnic, linguistic and socioeconomic backgrounds, as well as
individual learning styles and needs;
b) Interacts with students, families, and colleagues.
3) Competency III: Instructional Practice. The
effective teacher-
a) Understands typical and atypical human development
and is familiar with principles of curriculum and
instruction, including strategies for integrating special
education students into regular classroom settings and
developing and implementing individualized Educational Plans
(IEPs);
b) Teaches through diverse modes, including new
technologies, reading and language arts as appropriate
to age, learning style and developmental stage of the
learner;
c) makes curricular content relevant to the experiences
of students from diverse racial, socioeconomic,
linguistic and cultural backgrounds;
c) Organizes and manages a classroom to support the
growth and learning of diverse students;
d) Uses methods that develop students’ academic and
social skills;
e) Works effectively with families and community
sources.
4) Competency IV: Evaluation. The effective teacher-
a) Designs and uses various evaluative procedures to
assess student learning;
b) Evaluates his or her own teaching behavior, and uses
the results to improve student learning.
5) Competency V: Problem Solving. The effective teacher-
a) Thinks critically about teaching and learning;
b) Fosters students’ creative and analytical thinking
skills.
6) Competency VI: Equity. The effective teacher-
a) Deals equitably and responsibly with all learners;
b) Understands the impact of western and non-western
civilizations on contemporary American culture and uses this
knowledge to develop appropriate strategies.
7) Competency VII: Professionalism. The effective teacher-
a) Understands his or her legal and moral
responsibilities;
b) Learns from experience and supervision;
c) Understands the impact of societal problems that can
affect student learning negatively and uses appropriate
strategies to address such issues.
Factors
The need for assessing objectively teacher competency
has assumed significance in the light of emphasis on such
concepts as 'relevance in teaching1, 'teacher
accountability', and 'cost effectiveness in education*. In
so far as we look upon teaching as an art, there is still
an inscrutable air of mystery surrounding it which seems to
defy objective assessment. Wecan point to effective
teachers but become confused when asked to specify and
quantify the characteristics that made such teachers
effective. In all cases of such assessments the subjective
element cannot be ruled out fully.
A variety of factors seem to go along with teacher
competency and effectiveness, some external and others
personal. The external factors include those which the
teacher cannot fully control, like class size,
infrastructura1 instructional facilities, innate pupil
characteristics, home and community influences on pupil
attitudes and behaviour, etc, as well as those which he can
modify, adapt or adjust to such particular classroom
situations. For instance, the teacher can change his
questioning techniques or ways of programming ideas to suit
class or individual needs. On the other hand teaching
competency is, equally if not even to a greater extent,
dependent upon certain personal traits, intellectual and
temperamental and these often will enable the teacher to
get over even drastic constraints imposed on his
performance by external conditions.
Application
The teacher will instruct the student to choose
what their favorite THEACHING COMPETENCIES.
After that the teacher will roll call to the class
and gave each student 2-3minutes to explain why their
chosen TEACHING COMPETENCY is their favorite.

Lesson 7 Education in the Decades to Come
Introduction
It is difficult to predict the future. In our everydaylives, we implicitly depend on a "future will be like thepresent" prediction. More sophisticated forecasters oftenpredict that potential changes will occur quickly in theshort term, ignoring the institutional barriers to change.Similarly, they often are too limited in predicting long-term changes, since it is very difficult to think throughthe full range of unexpected side-effects that changes inone part of society cause in other parts.

learning outcome
Abstraction
Schools: Past, present and future?
The dominant form of formal education today is
schooling. It is so much a part of our concept of education
that we sometime forget that it is not the only framework
for learning, and that the current form of schools and
schooling has evolved fairly recently. Formal education
existed before there were schools. Schooling is education
that takes place in building that are mostly isolated from
the rest of society, in which most of the learning
activities consist of exercises. There is a separation
between learning and doing, a separation between the
location of learning and the location in which that learning
is eventually to be put into practice.
Before schools were the dominant form of education, a
few privileged learners worked with tutors. The majority of
advanced learning, however, took place in apprenticeship
settings, formal learning frameworks in which novices
acquired knowledge and skills in the context of practice.
Most people today associate the term "apprenticeship" with
craft apprenticeships, but in fact apprenticeships are the
most common form of learning in most professions. Medical
internships and residencies, law internships, and other
advanced graduate study are all apprenticeships.
If apprenticeships are used to teach our doctors,
lawyers, and scientists, why are they not used more widely?
One of the most important reasons is that apprenticeships
are expensive. They take the time of the experts; they take
the time of the novices and others involved. It would be
impossible to support mass education with conventional
apprenticeships.
Tele-task forces.
With new technologies, it is possible to create
collaborative network-based projects, with diverse
participants from widely distributed locations. There are
many different frameworks that these collaborative
activities can take (Harris, 1995; Levin, 1997; Levin &
Waugh, 1998; Riel, 1998). Let us focus here on one called
"tele-task forces". With this interactional framework,
learners and mediators jointly tackle some task, and
interact for a time in efforts to accomplish the task.
Like the teleapprenticeship framework described
earlier, this tele-task force framework has parallels to the
world outside of education. In some areas of society, unique
problems arise that require bringing together a group of
people to address the task, and so a "task force" is
assembled. The group works together for a while, and then
disbands after its work is done. The some of the same people
may join together again on other task forces, but the
particular task force terminates after a relatively short
time period.
We have also been exploring tele-task force frameworks
for learning and teaching. One good example was "the Zero-g
Design Project", a year-long design activity, focusing on
how to design artifacts and processes for people living in a
free-fall environment (Cervantes, 1993; Levin & Cervantes,
2001 in press). The overall Zero-g Project was composed of a
set of smaller design challenges, each of which was tackled
by a "tele-task force" of students, teachers, and aerospace
experts. If the teachers and students had participated as
peripheral participants of an ongoing aerospace design
effort, then this would have been more of a
teleapprenticeship, but instead these design challenges were
ones that were of interest to the aerospace participants but
not ones that they were working on.
The first design challenge was to think about the
mechanism of personal navigation in a zero-g environment.
Since things don't fall, you can navigate down a hallway
just by exerting a force at one end (for example, by pushing
off from a wall), and then sail down the hallway. When you
get to a place where you want to stop or turn, you have to
exert another force. What if you were going down a hallway
and, in mid-course, there was a person coming in the
opposite direction on a collision course. How could you
avoid the collision with minimal effort and disruption to
your own travel and that of the other person?
This "navigation design challenge" was addressed
jointly by widely distributed and diverse participants for
about a month. Then two new design challenges were raised,
the design of better ways to prepare, consume, and recycle
food in zero-g and the design of recreational activities in
zero-g. These task forces continued for approximately two
months. Then the challenge of designing a school in zero-g
was tackled, which took approximately three months. In all,
the Zero-g World Design Project extended over a full
academic year.

Module Summary
For over a century, education has remained largely
unchanged. Classrooms full of studentsDeferring to the
wisdom of an all-knowing professor has, is, and many
believe, will continue to bethe accepted mode of
instruction. Despite many technological advances and the
introduction ofNew pedagogical concepts, the majority of
today's classrooms continue to utilize this traditional
mode. Educators have thrived in a bubble immune from
advancements in technology, but the
Increasing rate of change of these advances now look to
be threatening to burst this bubble.
The world is changing -- it is getting both smaller and
bigger at the same time. Our world shrinksAs technologies
now allow us to communicate both synchronously and
asynchronously with peersAround the world. Conversely, the
explosion of information now available to us expands our
viewof the world. As a result of the ability to communicate
globally and the information explosion, education must
change. Most educators might not want to change, but the
change is coming – itis a matter of when not if. The
challenge is to prepare the children of today for a world
that hasbyte to be created, for jobs yet to be invented, and
for technologies yet undreamed. As we will see,the driving
forces of Moore's Law, Metcalfe's Law, technology fusion,
and a changing world
Economy is redefining the way our children need to be
taught. The current teaching paradigm ofThe teacher as the
possessor and transferor of information is shifting to a new
paradigm of the
Experts from all fields, including education, business,
and government agree that we have moved into the information
age. As much as 97% of the world's knowledge will be
accumulated over one person’s lifetime (Molitor, 1998).
Against statistics like this, teaching students a host of
facts "justin case" they need them later on in life is a
fruitless effort. The ability to find and use facts as they
are needed becomes the skill that will enable students to
become lifelong learners.
The roll of education is no longer to provide
educational opportunities through early adulthood, but to
provide the scaffolding necessary to support individuals and
families from all walks of life, throughout their entire
lives. In order to prevent a further widening between the
upper and lower classes, it will become increasingly
important for educational institutions to provide this
support by providing weeknight and weekend adult classes
focused on emerging technologies.
Very soon we can look for interactive video
technologies to allow parents to play a more active role in
their children's education (e.g. watching a class
presentation via online video). Schools that actively pursue
such avenues will be in great demand. School days will grow
to seven hours in length to provide more instruction and to
meet the needs of dual income families.
As more states pass school voucher initiatives, a greater
dependency upon private education will result. Schools will
compete to hire teachers, raising teacher salaries.
Dissatisfaction with public education and national and
state-wide acceptance of school vouchers will cause the
private and
home schooling markets to grow well into the next century.
The effects of Moore's Law, Metcalfe's Law, and
technology fusion will produce a variety of hand-held and
wearable computers that will be connected to a worldwide
digital network. Technology
Fusion and a changing world economy will place new
demands upon education. The teacher's role will shift from
that of the transmitter of facts, to a facilitator, coaching
students in how to find and use facts specific to a
particular context. I could continue with some loftier
predictions, but to do so would only trivialize what I have
predicted. As mentioned earlier, knowing exactly what
happens in our future is not important. It is important that
educators have a sense of where the world is headed. Only
then will they be able to adequately prepare current and
future students to thrive in this ever-changing world.
