INTRODUCTION
In this lesson, we will continue to compare instructional planning to planning your vacation. In
planning a trip to an Island, you and your friends need to take many things into consideration. You
have to check weather for the duration of your stay since it will determine the clothes you will
wear and the things you will bring. You also need to take into account your and your friends’
interests which will ultimately decide your activities. Your length of stay is also a crucial element
because you have to schedule your activities accordingly if you want to maximize your stay on the
island.
The same thing can be said about instructional planning. There are many things that you have to
consider in order to deliver a successful unit or lesson. In this chapter, you will learn six of these
things ― content, objectives, classroom environment, materials, students, and teacher. All of
these elements are crucial in planning for effective instruction.
1. CONTENT
Basically, teachers need to know what they will teach in order to effectively prepare their lesson.
In taking about content, it is important to distinguish between two types of knowledge: declarative
and procedural.
2. OBJECTIVES

An objective is a specific statement of a learning outcome. It describes what we want our students
to do and how we will know if they are already there. Taking into account the objectives of the
lesson is important because these statements are vital in assessing student learning and evaluating
the effectiveness of instruction. Standards are more general outcome statements that can be
achieved in weeks, quarters, year, or years.
Classroom Environment
Materials
Any item, tool or piece of equipment used to support the lesson before, during or after
instruction. - Schoenfeldt and Salsbury (2009)
Here are a number of practical considerations in the use of instructional materials:
Materials should be ready to used and located nearby before beginning the instruction.
Every student should have an equal chance to see and / or access the materials.
Teachers should preview the materials in order to explain difficult terms to students, anticipate
misconception, answer queries, and make meaningful connections.
Materials should be age- appropriate, culturally responsive, and gender sensitive.
Students
The student is the heart of learning process. As such, they should be given utmost consideration
in instructional planning.
Teachers should take into account the following in learning process:
Student Readiness- this refers to the ability level of a student in relation to agiven topic and skill.

Student Interest- this is considered as a powerful motivator to engage students in the learning
process.
Intelligence Preference or Learning Style- this refers to the different cognitive inclinations that a
person has for learning.

Introduction
In instructional planning, teachers also make decisions as to how best learning goals
can be achieved. They have to take into account how they approach a given unit or
lesson so that it will be easily understood by the students. They also need to come up
with a set of activities that will ensure student motivation and participation. By doing
these things, teachers subscribe to an instructional model in planning.
Instructional model
An instructional model serves as a general framework for the process of learning. Teachers adhere
to an instructional model when they write their unit or lesson It is
comprised of a variety of teaching strategies and a set of step-by-step procedures
that should be done to achieve the instructional goals.
Direct Instruction Model
Morrison 2000 defined as a “highly-structured, teacher-centered strategy that capitalizes on such
behavioral techniques as modelling, feedback, and reinforcement to promote basic skills.
Hunter's Seven-Step Model that can be adopted by any grade level and subjects.
1. Anticipatory Set. The teacher motivates the students by directing their attention to the lesson.
He/she may pose a question, show a video or picture, or tell a story.
2. Objective and Purpose. The teacher states the purpose and objectives of the lesson so that
students will know what they will learn and why it is useful.
3. Input. The teacher presents the lesson content through lecture, discussion, reading, observing,
and other possible means.
5 Republic of the Philippines
COLLEGE OF EDUCATION
Marawi City
4. Modeling. The teacher, an invited resource person, or a member of the class demonstrates what
all students should be able to do.
5. Checking for Understanding. The teacher asks questions or requests demonstrations from
students to ensure that they and understood the lesson.
6. Guided Practice. Students are asked to perform individual tasks while the teacher roams around
the classroom to ensure that they are doing it correctly.
7. Independent Practice. Once all students demonstrate their knowledge, the teacher gives them
tasks which they should perform completely without the aid of the teacher.
Inquiry model
Ellis (2010) defines inquiry as an investigative process based on the examination of
evidence, often using questioning, hypothesis testing and data gathering to arrive at
an evidence-based conclusion. Inquiry models that can be used by social studies teachers. (Banks
1990)
1. Pose a question for inquiry — make sure that the question can be answered using data and
evidence.
2. Encourage students to formulate hypotheses — use observation, prior experiences and logic
to arrive at as many hypotheses as possible.
3. Gather and analyze data — be involved in the data collection process to ensure that student
will draw valid and reliable conclusion.
4. Determine whether to accept or reject the hypotheses based on the conclusion — have
students publicly present the inquiry process and their findings.
Cooperative learning model
Chapin (2013) defines cooperative learning as a popular instructional approach in
which small groups of students work together toward a common learning goal. Elements of
planning cooperative learning (Chapin 2013)
1. Objectives and task — Ensure that cooperative learning is compatible with the
objective. Come up with challenging and rewarding task that will require many skills.
2. Size of the group and the method of assigning members — experts have different opinions
on the ideal size of groups and teacher should implement heterogeneous grouping.
3. Roles — teachers should ensure that members of the group have roles to play.
4. Room arrangement and materials — group materials should also be tended by members of
the group.

But they need to ensure that these are aligned with the content standard, performance
standards, and competency, thus the need to indicate these three in the lesson plan.
Reminders in writing objectives:
✓ SMART- Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-Bounded
✓ Describes what the students should know or be able to do.
✓ Tap not only memorization and basic understanding but also critical and creative thinking.
2. Content
It states the actual topics or subject that will be discussed for the day or the following days.
3. Learning Resources
In this part, the teachers list down the references that they used in the development
of the lesson: learner’s module, teaching guide, textbooks, and other sources of the information.
The materials that will be used, such as visual aids, media equipment, and manipulatives, should
be noted so that teachers can check if everything is prepared for their lesson.
4. Procedures
It is the longest part of the lesson plan. It contains the steps and activities that will be done
to achieve the objectives. In preparation for the DLP, teachers divide the procedures portion into
three parts: Before the Lesson, During the Lesson, and After the Lesson.
a. Before the Lesson.
This includes the activities that will be done at the beginning of the lesson. In this part, teachers
may do any of the following:
i. Review of the previous lesson;
ii. Introduction of the new lesson;
iii. Presentation of the connection between the previous and the new lesson;
iv. Statement of the learning objectives.
b. During the Lesson.
As the body of the lesson, this is the main part where the new topic is
presented. Aside from direct instruction, teachers should provide various activities
that will help the students attain mastery and understanding. This ongoing process
of activities, feedback and assessment is known as Formative Assessment, which
is essential for both students and teachers to know if learning takes place. Some
examples of formative assessment are Check-up Quiz, Practice Work, Think-PairShare,
and Journal Entry.
c. After the Lesson.
This serves as the closure of the lesson. Teachers and the students wrap up the discussion by
doing any of the following:
i. Application of the lesson to real-life situations;
ii. Summary, generalizations, and conclusion and ;

iii. Homework.
5. Remarks
In this part, teachers indicates whether they have finished the lesson or not within the given
time frame. If the lesson will be continued for the next meeting, they write specific reasons
such as re-teaching, insufficient time, class suspension, and other instances.
6. Reflection
As reflective practitioners, teachers should assess their instruction, filling out this portion
right after the delivery of the lesson. They may use the following questions as guide in their
evaluation:
a. How many learners earned 80% in the evaluation.
b. How many require additional activities for remediation? Did the remedial lesson
works? How many were able to catch up with the lesson? How many require continuous
remediation?
c. Which of my teaching strategies worked well? Why did this work?
d. What difficulties did I encounter which my principal or supervisor can help me solve?
e. What innovation or localized materials di I use/discover which I wish to share with other
teachers?
Some Tips in Developing a Lesson Plan
It will be helpful to keep these tips in mind to further improve your lesson plan:
1. Be familiar with the different instructional models in social studies. The format of your
procedures will greatly depend on the instructional model that you will use.
2. Use an outline in your lesson plan. Refrain from writing long narratives and utilize differences
in font size and types to make a reader-friendly plan.
3. Indicate the time allotment for every activity to help you manage the schedule and maximize
students' time for learning.
4. Provide clear transitions from one subtopic to another. This will aid students- in understanding
the interconnectedness of the concepts and ideas.
5. Include a variety of activities and minimize teacher talk to sustain students’ attention. Also,
every activity should be processed afterward with the students so that they will see its relevance
in the learning process.

Objectives
• Explain the relevance of inquiry in social studies education
• Appreciate the art of questioning inside a social studies classroom
• Create a lesson plan using inquiry-based teaching strategy
LESSON
Inquiry is defined as the process of looking and creating information or knowledge by means
of questions. The process of inquiring begins with the assembly of information and data by applying
the human senses such as seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling (Kumari, Arora, & Tiwari,
Shruti, 2016).
In 1999, White, Shimoda and Frederiksen developed an instructional theory that enabled
scientific inquiry as part of instruction among a widespread variety of learners, including new ones and
slow learners. They postulated that quality education could be achieved by allowing the learners to
understand metacognition. This could be done by constructing an instructional methodology that
develops the students' metacognitive knowledge and skills following the process of:
A. Scaffold Inquiry. Teacher should guide the learners in attaining the goals of any discussion.
B. Reflection. The spontaneity of the discussion depends on the capacity of the teachers to
direct and guide the learners.
C. Generalization. This is the optimum part of the process wherein the learners have created
their own beliefs and communicated their disposition.

QUESTIONING TECHNIQUES
The art of questioning is the most important aspect in this strategy, the teacher must be well
exposed to various ways of posting question to student.
Might question – This question does not limit the possible responses among the learners. But
rather it opens up a range of possible responses that allows learners to reason out.
What if question – This kind of question bring out the creativity, peculation and rationality
among the learners it allows the learners to think in a total different perspective that is usually grounded
on what they believe in.

Different role question – This type of question allows the learners to have a glimpse of possible
roles they might portray in the real world. This strategy is a nice representation of the outside world
and gives the learners the chance to evaluate themselves.
Socratic questioning – This questioning styles combines all the aforementioned form of
questioning. Socrates has been known in history as the master of incessant questioning to achieve
wisdom.
Gadfly questions – this allows the teachers to ask several question to push the learners to
answer the questions.
Stingray questions – these questions leads to a sudden change in the course of questions.
Midwife questions – from the name itself, these questions are used to elicit new ideas to the
learners.
Ignoramus question – in here, teacher play dumb for them to elicit responses among the
learners.

Objectives:
• Discuss case study as an instructional strategy
• Explain how case study is used in elementary social studies instruction
• Develop a lesson plan that uses case study in elementary social studies
CASE STUDY
• Structured, a learner-centered strategy that explores complex and value-laden issues
through problem-solving and decision-making.
• Defined by, Kowalski, Weaver, and Henson (1994) as general narrative descriptions of
situations and incidents.
• In social studies, a case can be anything from an actual or fictional event, a concrete or
abstract issue, or a historical or current phenomenon.
Based on the content, case studies can be classified into the following:
1. Live case studies – based on an ongoing event where students and real-world actors are
simultaneously examining issues and arriving at solutions.
2. Historical case studies - these are largely based on historical events and can be depicted as
fiction or nonfiction.
3. Economics case studies - these are focused on economic issues that can be drawn from
students’ experiences or from international or national matters.
4. Social issues case studies - these are based on problems and concerns that affect society.
5. Student-developed case studies – in this type, students are asked to come up with case studies
based on their own experiences and observations.
Dewey’s (1916) progressive belief that teachers should always tap students’ natural instincts to
investigate and create.
In the 1980s, Barrows and Tamblyn eventually coined the term problem-based learning to refer to
learning that result from the process of working toward the understanding or resolution of a
problem.
STEPS
There are three basic steps in implementing the case study strategy in the social studies
classroom:
1. Briefing - the teacher gives a brief background about the case.
2. Discussion - students are given sufficient time to analyze the given case and come up with
solutions.

Learning Objectives:

Introduction:
Jigsaw is a cooperative learning strategy developed by Elliot Aronson and his colleagues in
1971. Created as a response to the racial desegregation in the 1970’s, it was first implemented by
educators and psychologists in schools in Austin, Texas to reduce tensions among the white, Hispanic,
and African-American students.Jigsaw in the classroom involves students each learning a part of a

lesson and then sharing their knowledge information in groups until all group members understand the
complete lesson. Students each act as a piece of the puzzle who together make up a bigger picture.
In The Jigsaw Classroom. Social Psychology Network & Aronson (n.d.) outlined 10 steps in
implementing this strategy:
1. Divide students into five- or six-person home groups. Members should be diverse in terms of
gender, ability, and ethnicity (if applicable).
2. Appoint a leader for each home group.
3. Divide the day’s lesson into five to six segments.
4. Assign each student in the home group to learn one segment.
5. Give students enough time to comprehend and master their assigned segment.
6. Form temporary expert groups by instructing student with the same segments to sit together.
Give them enough time to discuss the main points, clarify questions, and rehearse the
presentation they will make to their home group.
7. After the given time, bring students back to their home groups.
8. Ask each member to present his or her segment to the group. The leader should encourage the
flow of discussion and the asking of questions.
9. The teacher should roam around the classroom and observe the process. Make appropriate
interventions for groups experiencing difficulties.
10. At the end of the session, give a quiz to access student learning.
Advantages of Jigsaw
• A study conducted by Hanze and Berger (2007) showed that, after implementing Jigsaw,
students demonstrated increased feelings of autonomy and intrinsic motivation.
• It promotes personal accountability of learning since students are required to master their
segments independently and eventually share it with their groupmates.
• It also encourages group collaboration, with students knowing that their information and
understanding will not be complete without working and communicating with their peers.
Tips
1. Emphasize that each member has a valuable contribution to the group.
2. Ensure that the given materials are of equal length and difficulty so that they can be mastered
by all students within the given time limit.
3. In some cases, teachers skip the formation of experts groups, believing that individually
mastering the segment is enough.

LESSON 14:
PANEL DISCUSSION
At the end of the lesson students should be able to:
• Know the origin and relevance of panel discussion as an instructional strategy
• Explain how to use panel discussion in social studies instruction
• Develop a lesson plan using panel discussion
SITUATION:
Teacher Madelle is about to teach the issues sorrounding the modernization in the
community. She felt that there is need to upgrade her pedagogy when she start to plan the
lesson. She thought of a strategy that will engage her students in a higher level classroom
activity. Soon after, she finally decided that her students should become expert inside the the
class and share their thoughts and ideas on particular topic.
In the class, teacher madelle divided the pupils into four groups of six members each.
She assigned a specific topic to be presented and discussed in the class the following day. With
proper guidance, the pupils were able to deliver their ideas following on the positive and
negative sides of modernization. At the outset, the pupils were tensed because of the questions
and answers portion, but they felt at ease because teacher madelle helped them all throughout
the activity.
31 Republic of the Philippines
COLLEGE OF EDUCATION
Marawi City
The strategy that Teacher Madelle used in her classroom is called the panel discussion.
To further understand how a panel discussion works inside the classroom, kamens (2014) identified
the following guidelines:
HOW TO CONDUCT A PANEL DISCUSSION?
•
The teacher will act as the moderator. The learners will act as a subject area experts;
however the moderator is not a panelist. Hence, she/he will play a different role so his/her
ability to oversee the flow of discussion is important.
• Group the learners depending on the number of students. It should not exceed seven
members.
• The moderator and member should create a list of interview questions.
• During the pre-event interviews, the moderator should take good notes and discover
interesting stories and opinions that each panelists can give
• The moderator, after the simple interview, will then develop a final list of question for the
actual panel discussion. Note: the idea is to ask questions to bring out interesting stories
with spontaneity.
ROOM SET-UP AND LOGISTICS
• To have a lively discussion, slides should not be used to replace discussions.
• Don't put your panelist behind a table. It creates a formal notion and adds distance that
prevents good interaction between the panelists and the audience.
32 Republic of the Philippines
COLLEGE OF EDUCATION
Marawi City
•
The best set-up is for the panel discussion to be in a slight semicircle on comfortable
chairs with the moderator sitting in the middle.
• Place the exact number of seats fir the expected panelists. These gets people to sit close to
the front so that the interactions can be better
• Have a good microphone system ready.
THE MODERATOR TAKES CONTROL
• It is the moderator's job to prevent anyone from disrupting the discussion.
• The moderator should introduce the panelists and the topics to be discussed.
• The moderator ask question, calling on one or two panelists for each question. In this way, the
discussion will be kept moving.
• To ensure spontaneity, a moderator should be prepared with different sets of questions.
• Make the discussion interactive by polling the audience with a few questions.
• Give the audience members a chance to participate.
TIMING IS EVERYTHING
• No more than 40 minutes for the panel discussion, leaving 20 minutes for audience question
(30 if the discussion is lively) is the rule.
• To ensure audience participation, the teacher-moderator can give questions to some audience
members ahead of time.
• In case the audience members want to take over, it is the role of the moderator to keep them in
their seats and ensure the smooth flow of the activity.

of the
skills to be harnessed among Filipino learners is the information, communication, and technology
(ICT) skills. To achieve this, teachers must be able to infuse technology in their instruction so as to
immerse the learners in a more interactive manner.
As stipulated in DepEd Order No. 42, s. 2016, the integration of technology inside the classroom
shall be grounded on these bases:
➢ ICT integration in teaching and learning involves all activities and processes with the use of
technology.
➢ Teachers can plan learning opportunities that allow learners to access, process information, create

Role-play and simulations present many advantages, the reason why it is a popular
strategy among social studies teachers. First, they make abstract concepts and ideas more concrete by
letting the students experience them in a safe and nonthreatening way. Aside from promoting critical
thinking and decision-making skills, they are also useful in helping students develop a sense of
empathy and social awareness. Students do not only offer solutions to real-world problems and come
up with sound decisions, but they have to think of how others might feel and what consequences they
may face. Lastly, implementing these strategies in the classroom makes students highly enthusiastic
and motivated. The requirement to act out or experience a situation makes learning fun and enjoyable
and ensures the active involvement of students in the learning process.
Tips
1. Know your students. Choosing students who are timid to perform may affect the conduct of the
activities, especially if they are given crucial roles. But it is important also to give everyone a chance
to act, not just those who always volunteer.
2. Constantly remind students that the roles represent the character and not their classmates to
avoid typecasting.
3. Assign tasks to the audience. While watching, they can write their observations or note questions
that will be entertained in the debriefing part.
4. For computerized simulations, always preview the content. Some themes, scenes, and language
might not be suitable for elementary students.
5. Be aware of your own role as a teacher. The teacher may act as a coach, clarifier, discussant, or
observer, depending on the readiness and ability of the students.

Field studies are learning experiences outside the four concerns of the classroom. Field studies
enable the learners to personally gather and analyze data in their own context. In a nutshell, field
studies provide learning experiences that transcend a regular classroom through direct experiences
and observations. Field trips can be done within the school campus, the school vicinity, in a local
museum and many other places which last for several hours.
During field studies, learning takes place in a reality-based context rather than mediated by
videos or books. It gives the learners a taste of the outside world which allows them to clearly see
what happens in their community. The optimum benefit of field studies for teachers is that it allows
the learners to target a wide range of learning competencies. It also allows teachers to employ
authentic tasks that are reflective of the curriculum.
Compared to field trips, field studies highlight more student involvement because the learners
are directly involve in the planning, implementation, and assessment of the activity. Field trips
usually happen in a long distance trip such as going to national museums or any other related places.
What is good about field studies is that it could take place in nearby areas such as rivers, government
offices, supermarkets, and even inside the school campus.
Why use field studies?
• It provides experiential learning- it offer and opportunity to witness objects and events not
accessible at school. Direct contact and observation encourage more concrete learning
experience than merely showing videos or images.
• It target specific skills and knowledge- being able to experience things provides learners an
opportunity to practice skills and appreciate values that cannot surface elsewhere.
• It strengthens schema- the experiences in the field stimulate higher understanding and
appreciation of previously learned concepts by means of validation.
• It motivates values development- exposure to a phenomenon stimulates appreciation and
concern for the visited event or place.

• Curriculum alignment- one of the most defeated purposes of field trips is its curricular
relevance. Sometimes, if not most of the time, the curriculum aspect is replaced by leisure
engagement. To ensure curriculum alignment, teachers must thoroughly plan and execute the
desired learning outcomes before any other purpose.
• Lack of understanding of field studies-before conducting the activity, teachers must ensure
that their learners have fully understood the nature and purpose of the field study. Failure to
do so can contribute to the downfall of the activity. Hence, as part of the preparation, teachers
should teach the essential kick-start concept to the learners.
• Costly- financial requisite is the biggest problem in this teaching strategy. This is also the
reason why teachers tend to engage in virtual field trips rather than actual site visits.
• Preparation Time- field studies require much time, from preparation up to classroom
discussion and assessment. While it is very important, it is also a fact that it could interrupt
other teaching schedules. This now anticipates for necessary adjustments in teaching hours
and topics.
• Safety- this is the most debated issues, among others. In recent years, we had witnessed
various events where student safety became the talk of the town. This resulted in the passing
of government and institutional policies. Recently, the department of Education lifted the
moratorium on off-campus activities and implemented new guidelines that adhere to K-12
demand. To ensure safety, all school must abide by its provisions.
What to keep in Mind When Planning and Doing Field Studies?
• Awareness- in a starter kit, teachers basically have to condition the learners before the
actual visit. Teachers need to point out the purpose, the dos and don'ts during the visit, and
most importantly, the assessment part. Having a prepared mind comes the responsibility
and accountability. The learners will be able to learn about their freedom as well as their
limitations while enjoying data gathering.
• Engage- the most significant factor that teachers need to highlight is student involvement.
They have to plan out every detail and experience that the learners need to undergo
through. Keep in mind that all the learners must be exposed to the same degree of
engagement to ensure that all of them are learning.
• Metacognitive Learning- the excitement should not stop on the site visit itself. The most
important part still is the deepening and valuing of knowledge and skills learned from
experiences. Never let a good learning opportunity pass away without ensuring learning.
• Build upon- curiosity signals effective and motivational learning to start up the curiosity
among the learners, teachers must conduct prior research on the environment or event that
they have to visit. Imposing trivial questions and supplementing information during the
conduct of study augment interests and encourages deeper learning among the learners.
• Illustrate- never fail to integrate ideas in real life. The integration could happen during the
onsite visit or inside the classroom. Experiential learning becomes more effective when it

is placed on the reality context. Learners should be able to see the applicability of learned
knowledge so that they can successfully live what they have learned.
• Assess- as part of the educative process, it is relevant to ensure that the learners have
gained the desired competencies and knowledge. This could be done through effective,
meaningful, and aligned assessment activities.

SERVICE LEARNING
Objectives
• Develop a lesson plan that uses service learning in elementary social studies.
Introduction
According to the National Service Learning Clearinghouse (n.d), Service Learning is “a teaching
and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to
enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility and strengthen communities.” it is different
from volunteerism and community service because, aside from providing relevant and meaningful
civic involvement, Service Learning targets the acquisition of specific knowledge, skills and values.
In essence, Service Learning ensures that students learn the social studies content through active
participation in community service. Service Learning is founded on the philosophical roots of the
experiential learning theory of Dewey (1938), Freire (1970), and Kolb (1984). Throughout this

1. Direct Service Learning-This requires students to come in direct contact with the community
or people in need.
2. Indirect Service Learning-This entails students to channel resources for a certain project
Four basic steps in implementing Service Learning: “Geiger (n.d) and Wade (2000)”
1. Preparation- This involves providing students with the necessary skills and information for the
project. After the discussion of social studies content, the teacher and students brainstorm
possible activities, explore their roles, and identify budget and resources, among others.
2. Action or Service-. After orienting students and seeking their commitment, the project is
3. Evaluation and Reflection- This refers to the act of thinking critically about their experiences
in the project.

Content Standards
These are standards that provide the essential knowledge that the learners must learn.
Performance Standards
These sets of educational phrases describe the skills and abilities to be exemplified by
learners in connection to the content standards and 21st century skills development. In this, the
evidence of learning and skills development must be individually or collaboratively expressed
through innovation, creation, and adding value to products or performance.
Learning Competencies
Learning Competencies are the set of knowledge, skills, and attitude that students need to
understand and demonstrate in every lesson or performance.
Concept Development
The educational milieu in the K-12 curriculum is standard based wherein various learning
standards are arranged in progression. This is the central theme of concept development inside the
classroom. To further understand this idea, the Department of Education has used the Cognitive
Process Dimensions of Anderson and Krathwohl (2001) to operationalize the progression.
Generally, this provides a mechanism for teachers to easily classify educational goals and
objectives in consonance to the learning standards.
