WEEK 5
INSTRUCTIONAL PLANNING: Components of Instructional Planning
I. Learning Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, you are expected to:
 describe to a classmate your typical instructional process;
 identify events that must be included in an instructional plan;
 examine the elements of an effective instruction and their relationship; and
 characterize an effective instructional plan.
II. Learning Activities

All teachers engage in the process of planning, managing, delivering, and evaluating instruction. Planning
instruction involves three steps: (1) deciding what to teach, (2) deciding how to teach, and (3) communicating goal
and expectation to learners. Each of these steps includes specific tasks. Examine the table below.
Instructional Planning Steps
Domain
Deciding what to teach 1. Assess students skills and knowledge
2. Analyze the instructional task
3. Establish a logical instructional sequence
4. Consider the classroom elements that may affect instruction
5. Identify gaps between actual and expected performance
Deciding how to teach 1. Set instructional goals
2. Select instructional methods and materials
3. Pace instruction appropriately
4. Monitor performance and re-plan instruction

Activity B.1.
The Great Schools Partnership has developed the Elements of Effective Instruction framework that
identifies five elements of instructional practice. When integrated into learning experiences, these elements
promotes student engagement and academic achievement. Provide description for each element below.

C. ABSTRACT
Abstract C.1.
Robert Gagne developed Nine Events of Instruction that has guided trainers and educators in designing
instruction for trainings and classroom based teaching.
1. Gaining attention (reception)
2. Informing learners of the objective (expectancy)
3. Stimulating recall for prior learning (retrieval)
4. Presenting the stimulus (selective perception)
5. Providing learning guidance (semantic encoding)
6. Eliciting performance (responding)
7. Providing feedback (reinforcement)
8. Assessing performance (retrieval)
9. Enhancing retention and transfer (generalization)
Answer the following questions:
1. Which of the nine events do you include in your instruction planning?
