PGCE Assignment 2: Planning a 12 week scheme of work.
Introduction
This assignment has been designed to plan and produce a twelve week scheme of work in association with Unit 1: BTEC ND e-Media Production course. The course is designed to develop learners’ skills and knowledge in reading, analysing and deconstructing of e-media.
Reece and Walker (2000) discuss, there are several building blocks to be considered when planning for effective learning. I will discuss the sections of the planning process that need to be considered planning for a lesson.
• Lesson content and building blocks of lesson planning.
• The methodology of Teaching and learning.

These categories are arranged on degree of difficulty, meaning that a learner, who is able to perform at the higher levels (Analysis, Synthesis, Evaluation), of the taxonomy, is demonstrating a more complex level of cognitive thinking.
The Psychomotor Domain
The psychomotor domain refers to the use of basic motor skills, coordination, and physical movement. Simpson (1972) developed seven psychomotor categories to support Bloom’s domain.
1. Origination; a learner’s ability to create new movement patterns
2. Adaptation; a learner’s ability to modify motor skills to fit a new situation
3. Complex Overt Response; the intermediate stage of learning a complex skill
4. Mechanism; the ability to perform a complex motor skill
5. Guided Response; the early stage of learning a complex skill which includes imitation
6. Set; a learner’s readiness to act
7. Perception; the ability to use sensory cues to guide physical activity
These physical behaviours are learned through repetitive practice. A learner’s ability to perform these skills is based on precision, speed, distance, and technique. Learners’ general objectives would be to writes smoothly and legibly; accurately reproduces a picture, operates a computer skilfully,
By having good communication skills, we are able to successfully undertake the lesson. If I am unsure of anything after reading the lesson plan I am confident in asking the teacher to explain or elaborate more on the task set to the students or learning outcome. By
The various aspects when considering movement skill development include body control and awareness, technique, timing, anticipation and object manipulation. Body control is the ability to co-ordinate movements with precisions and balance and co-ordination are key. Whereas body awareness refers to the awareness and how conscious an individual is when performing an action. An element that can be claimed as the most important component involved in skill development is technique; as it is the method used to perform a skill and perform it well. Furthermore, anticipation is predicting what the impending actions will occur and timing is the way in which parts of a particular movement flow together. And lastly, object manipulation is the concern of
Physical Development Domain measures motor development, which is divided into two subdomains: Gross Motor and Fine Motor.
The observation conducted and post observation discussion with my experienced colleague helped me to identify key teaching and learning activities that I could implement in my lesson plan. Also the points of reflection that were mutually figured out served as a guide for me to prepare for Unit 2.
Write one developmentally appropriate learning objective for the goal related to each level of Bloom’s Taxonomy.
While creating this lesson plan, I will ensure each of my students will master the material by the end of the lesson. I will make sure that my students are mindful of what is expected of them. I will go over the content and language objectives in a way that each student is engaged with them. In a group, I will have my students discuss the objects to clarify any miss conceptions they may have. I will be incorporating a variety of different supplementary material to help students stay involved and focused while learning the material. I want to make sure not to overwhelm my students with the material. I will have the student slowly build up to decomposing a fraction. This will allow me to help the students enhance their knowledge by link back group information and past learning. Providing students with
The three domains are each taken into account according to the age of the children, and each domain corresponds well with our teaching strategy. The physical domain focuses on their gross and fine motor skills. In 4th grade,
Physical domain (visual motor skills): Jonah has a good control over his hand and leg movement skills and is able to observe and give responses to physical actions, for instance, he directs his walking movements and thus moves without hesitation from place to place (Kearns, 2014, p.73). According to Learning Outcome 3, “Children have a strong sense of wellbeing”, Jonah is able to demonstrate spatial awareness around and through their environment confidently and safely as he was engaged in increasingly sensory-motor skills and movements (DEEWR, 2009, p.32).
This taxonomy proposes six categories to follow rather than learning things by heart, starting from the simplest to the most complex in which the students be capable first of create: learners here have to be able of builds a structure or pattern from diverse elements. Put parts together to form a whole, with emphasis on creating a new meaning or structure. Second, evaluate: which means that they can make judgments about the value of ideas or materials. Third, analyze: learners can separate material or concepts into component parts so that its organizational structure may be understood. In this point they have to be able of inferred things about something. Four, apply: Applies what was learned in the classroom into novel situations in their environment. Five,
Situational Factors: Class title is Motor learning and control (KINE 406). This class for senior student who majoring in Health and Kinesiology especially focus on kinesiology, biology, and neuroscience. This course is designed to provide the student with a basic understanding of the current theoretical perspectives pertaining to motor learning and control.
For example, if we are studying geometry my guiding questions to plan would be, what would be the learner outcomes? What do I want the students to learn by the end of the unit? From here I would develop my instruction to directly target the skills that I want each learner to understand. Guskey, T. R. (2005) supports, “The second essential question is, What must students he able to do with what they learn? In answering this question, teachers must determine what particular skills, abilities, or capacities must pair up with the new concepts and material.”
Instructional Planning for Learner Development: James Stronge explains, “although effective teachers believe that students must be challenged, they also realize that students need to experience success” (Stronge, 2007, para.2). It is important that educators have a plan because that plan is what guides the lesson. It also allows the educator to be prepared and well organized. Educators guide their students and having a plan
Planning is a key part of teaching. Without a coherent plan lessons may lack structure and direction. Long and medium term planning are an important part of this and in this rationale I hope to demonstrate that my planning does indeed have all of these qualities.
When planning a lesson in the classroom it is extremely important to keep in mind all the needs of the students in the classroom. Every student has their own level of learning and some have major needs that may need some adaptations in the lesson plan. Currently, all my lessons follow along with the fourth grade curriculum with sixteen students in the classroom. There are three students in the classroom that have specific needs.
This first part of this module, Effective classroom focus on instruction design. I have learnt various methods to plan, resource, implement, analyze and evaluate teaching. I also recognize the importance of planning in classroom teaching. Although a good planning is a necessary condition for effective teaching, it is not sufficient because students¡¯ responses and behaviours are always unpredictable. Therefore, a well-equipped teacher should have adequate knowledge in classroom management and understand different approaches in solving discipline problems. Certainly, the most important is that teachers should be able to apply appropriate approaches according to different situations. In this portfolio, I will give
