Making the instructional design was not an easy task. It
requires a lot of time to think and re-think and definitely demands a great amount
of effort. From these pre-requisites, the instructional design determines the
kind of teaching session that you will facilitate. Therefore, it is important
to come up with a good one.
The session was already challenging
from the beginning when we were asked to make three possible objectives for our
teaching session. At first, I thought it was the easiest part but I was mistaken.
The objectives basically reflect the whole instructional design. Thus, formulating
the objectives should be reflected from your perception of how you want the
teaching session to occur. The objectives also determine the end-goal/s of the
learning session that's why it is very critical to be very concrete and
specific in this part.
Next, the content and the teaching
strategies were decided. This time, we determined what techniques were
appropriate for the learners. It is important that during this time, we should come-up
with a variety of teaching strategies that is deemed suitable and most
appropriate for the learners. With a variety of strategies on hand, it will be
easier for the teacher to adapt in a situation different from what he/she
expected. In addition, we should always consider that these strategies must be
able to motivate the learners to engage during the session.
Lastly, we determine the resources
and the type of evaluation that we will conduct. The resources such as visual
aids and hand-outs help in conducting the teaching session easier thus maximizing
the use of it is really recommended.
Although making an instructional
design was difficult, it is considered a stepping stone to a successful and
effective teaching session.
