The video, Lesson Makeover, uses the nine events of instruction. The presenter Melissa Baysingar an instructional design specialist at the Academy for teaching excellence at Harper College, demonstrates how to use Gagne's nine events of instruction.
The first lesson on chocolate was missing many aspects that make an excellent, engaging lesson. There are nine steps to Gagne’s events of instruction that she uses to improve the lesson. Let's look at the video and see the lesson.
Oh Boy, that first part of the video is so boring. The slides have nothing but text, and she reads them exactly. So we, as the learner, don't have to do anything but become bored, get distracted, and not take in any of the content. Think about what she changes and if you have any other ways to use Gagne's nine other than what is below. Above all, it has to be remade less dry, it's terrible.
The makeover lesson:
1. Gain your learner’s attention: The new lesson was given an engaging name. The use of images of chocolate to interest and gain the student's attention.
2. Inform learners of the objectives: The three objectives were read to the students and were clear and concise.
3. Stimulate recall of prior learning: Talking about the qualities of chocolate that are known to most people.
4. Present the learning content: The instructor discusses the difference between tempered chocolate and just melted. The images and descriptive words demonstrate what the outcome should be from the process.
5. Provide guidance for learning: The use of what, why, and how to teach the steps, and the instructor used straightforward language and images to provide guidance.
6. Elicit performance (allow time for practice): The instructor uses images and questions to check to understand.
7. Provide timely feedback: Check for understanding and have peers give feedback.
8. Assess Performance: The instructor explained the blog assignment and how the learning would be assessed.
9. Enhance retention and transfer: Completing the blog post will help students transfer their knowledge to the real world.
This second lesson is so much more exciting and makes you crave chocolate. If you think of anything I missed or other good tips, leave them in the comments.
