week three ~ ADDIE & ASSURE. who are they???

      This is the third week for this semester. As the last two week, I cannot wait for the next class. As the class started, we had been reminded to finish our first assignment which producing the video clip. I am struggling to try my best to produce a good and useful video clip for my audiences as this is my first time to explore and use movie maker. I am zero and do not know how to use it. Yet, I asked my friends to help me.

            After that, Miss Chin gave her lecture about two models which are ADDIE and ASSURE model. These models are model of learning process which can be implemented in our teaching and learning process.

 Analysis                                             Analyze   

Design                                                State

Development                  vs              Select methods, media & material

Implementation                               Utilize media & materials

Evaluation                                         Require learner participation

                                    Evaluate & revise

 

 

            In order to use this model, the first step is we have to analyse our students learning problem, the goal and objectives of our lesson, audience’s need and existing knowledge. I think that 1^st step is very important because without we know our students’ problem, we just teach on what we want to teach without considering their problem. For example, if students still not acquire with the previous lesson, but then we have proceeded with new lesson, it might be difficult for them acquire the lesson. Besides, with goal and objective, it will lead our lesson. So, our lesson will have focus and will be on the right track. In addition, the impact is on the students themselves as they can gain the knowledge better. After we analyse their problem and our goal, it help us to guide our lesson in order to equip with students’ need and suit with their prior knowledge. Students’ prior knowledge will help us to prepare lesson that make them participate actively. For instance, we have to prepare lesson that familiar like daily life situation because they can use their existing knowledge and know the clear picture on what we want to teach.

            For the second step, designing our objective more specifically will help us to expect more what we want from our students. So, we can get more information whether they understand the lesson or not by giving our expectation in our objective of the lesson. In addition, the lesson’s flow will be design I this step. It makes our lesson runs smoothly as we have design the aids. The third step is, development phase. We develop and design what teaching materials that we want to use for our lesson. Then, it makes we prepare well for our lesson complete with the aids.

 

            For the implementation, this is when we apply our plan. We teach students based on what we have prepared earlier by using teaching aids. I think that teaching aids are important for a teacher to assist her lesson. However, it is depends on her if she wants to use the teaching materials throughout the whole lesson or only on certain stage of lesson. The last stage isevaluation where we evaluate our students’ progression after we have conveyed the lesson. It can be done it in immediate feedback by asking questions or from our observation. the another way is by having summative or formative evaluation like monthly test.  For me, evaluation is very important as it gives us feedback on what we have taught. If the students cannot acquire the lesson, maybe we can reteach or give remedial activities. And for the good students, we can give enrichment activities. All these actions make students understand the lesson vividly.
