Step-by-step Learning

             Last Monday, we made an instructional design containing our objectives, the content, and our different strategies for our fieldwork on Friday. It was a fun and challenging work experience. At first, I did not understand fully what I was doing, so I asked for help a number of times. Truly, you learn by asking. However, receiving information should not always be your last resort. Sometimes, you have to discover how to do a certain part of your instructional design. This also promotes learning, and it is indeed very fulfilling. The assessment by our professors of our work has also greatly helped us in making our instructional designs.

            The formulation of objectives was the hardest to accomplish. Primarily because it will be the basis of everything that will follow, so it is very crucial that you formulate comprehensive objectives. Once you have finalized your objectives, it will be easier to accomplish the succeeding requirements.

            In this teaching session, I have learned a lot about the step-by-step formulation of an instructional design. It has also taught me patience due to the countless revisions I had to go through before I had my instructional design approved.

            A lot of learning has transpired within me. These step-by-step instructions serve as stepping stones if and when the time comes that you traverse into the real world of teaching. Patience is indeed needed especially when you get into real-world teaching. An instructional design is never perfect the first time you present it, but in time, it will already become automatic, thus you can devote your attention and effort towards the betterment of your teaching implementation.
