In this day’s discussion, reporters introduced us
to Development Lesson, Types of Lesson
Appreciation Lesson, and Review Lesson. As teacher, we are to familiarize
or even master different types of lessons that will enhance the
teaching-learning process in the classroom.
The DEVELOPMENT LESSON is one in which something new is
introduced or developed. It may be a fact, principle, a skill, a generalization,
or some knowledge. It must be something the class did not know yet. There are
two types of this lesson, the formal and the informal. FORMAL DEVELOPMENT LESSON is using
formal time-tested method such as the inductive,
deductive, or problem solving. Informal Development Lesson on the other
hand does not use a definite method with definite steps. It may also use the
question-and-answer method.
Informal Development Lesson have the
following steps: Preparation which includes the cognitive and motivational aspects; Presentation or development which uses
the questions and teaching aids that leads he class to examine and analyze; Application in which the teacher will
identify whether the students have learned or not.
The
teacher must also consider the necessary conditions to have a good
DEVELOPMENTAL LESSON. First, the teacher must have the mastery on the subject
matter. Second, recall of past experiences of information that have a bearing
on the new lesson. Lastly, the teacher’s clear awareness of what is to be
perceived, presented, or developed.
Next
topic was the APPRECIATION LESSON. A teacher can
only know if the student is learning when he/she applies what the teacher
taught them. Good application means the student appreciate the lesson. When a
student appreciates the lesson he/she is enjoying in learning it and in
applying it to situations.
An appreciation
lesson is one that is designed to lead the class to understand and enjoy
something. One cannot fully appreciate what one does not understand.
Appreciation then is a combination of understanding and enjoyment.
REVIEW LESSON on the other hand, has been thought by many as
refreshing the lessons that have been tackled. Review really means a new view
of the old facts in a broader setting that should result in new meaning,
associations, attitudes, and ways of acting.
Although
the Review Lesson aims to mainly give a new view of the discussed topic, it has
other purposes such as: (1) Retention of
material,(2) Organization of Materials and experiences into large whole,
(3)Development of ability to evaluate material, (4)Supplement of materials and
experiences, Foundation of further learning, (5) Diagnosis of students’
weaknesses, (6)Diagnosis of teacher’s weaknesses, (7)Development of interest in
old materials, (8)Stimulation of original thinking and creativeness, (9)Tracing
the main thought throughout a unit, (10)Reorganization of previously organized
information into a new pattern.
There
are types of review depending on the topic and the objective of the review.
First, the short prelesson daily review for three of five minutes. With
this type of review, the teacher stimulates and directs study toward definite
goals. Second, the postlesson unit review. Here,
it needs more time than that of the first type. Third, extensive large unit review
involving coordination of many units. This review can take place toward
the end of the semester or school year and spread over several days. When we
use review lesson, we must bear in mind that the review must be of value to the
student, it should be interesting, and should follow the psychological
principle of learning. There are certain conditions also to consider attaining
a good review. (1)Previous lesson must have been studied; (2) too much should
not be covered in one lesson; (3) the teacher should have in-depth mastery of
the subject and have organized it as a whole.
