An Overview and Reflection on: SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO TEACHING

Last month, the class where I am currently enrolled learned about a model which is called the "systematic approach to teaching". This model is a teachers guide to make a student-centered lesson. In this system,  the focus is the learner/student. 

The reason why future educator needs to familiarize, memorize and apply this system is to have goal-oriented, systematic and efficient lesson for the learners. 

AMAZING INST IT? There is a system that is dedicated for the students learning!!! 

Now, let us learn what are the composition of this system. As shown in the photo below, there are 8 steps that must be followed in order to create a student-centered class room experience: 

 First we need to define the objective - in this step, as an educator, we really need to be specific and apply the SMART objective setting.  Personally, as a future educator this is the step where I will use BLOOMS TAXONOMY MODEL, if what kind of DOMAIN I will target in my students development; will it be cognitive, affective or psychomotor. And in whatever target I will decide in the future, I have to always make my objective as SMART as possible! 

2nd-3rd-4th- STEP

To choose an appropriate methods/experience/material- is a must! And we must base it on our objective, what is best way for the learners to learn? Is it align with my objective? Will this material help my learners? Is this applicable to my lesson? Such questions should be answered while we are in this steps. A future educator must consider what are the capabilities of his/her student, the materials and equipment available and the cons/pros of  a chosen method to be used. 

5th step is  Assign Personal Roles - in this step, the educator must define the roles of the persons involve in his/her teachings.

6th step is to Implement the Instruction - this is where the teacher execute the plan beforehand. For me in order to properly implement all the plans of the teacher, the teacher must PRACTICE! and practice takes time. But it pays of to rehearse and practice before implementing the instructions. I believe it will work because practice makes everything close to perfect! 👏🏼☺️

For the 7th and 8th Steps… 

This is where we find out if our educational objective was attained. And this is where we decide to proceed or to recap again our steps. 

EIGHT STEPS . Eight steps that must be practice over and over again in order to be an efficient  in our teaching. 

As a future educator, my role as a teacher starts not in the classroom but in my planning stage. And failing to plan is planning to fail as an educator so I am hoping that that I will walk my talk as I become a legit educator. 👩‍🏫 

Thank you for reading.
