Describe Three Principles Teachers Should Use to Guide Their Planning

Question

Examlex · Accepted Answer

The Answer is Any three of these together with a plausible example from a lesson on a particular topic (e.g. nutrition):
-Going from simple to complex (e.g. students learn to identify the different food groups before moving on to planning a nutritious meal).
-Treating ideas chronologically (e.g. students are introduced to food groups in the order they appear on the food groups pyramid).
-Whole-to-part learning - that is, understanding the whole before understanding specific components (e.g. students watch a short video on why it is important to eat a balanced and nutritious diet before learning about specific food groups).
-Going from the concrete to the abstract - that is, starting from a student's experiences and proceeding to more abstract learning (e.g. students share one thing they normally eat for breakfast, lunch or dinner and see if they can locate it on the food groups pyramid).
-Spiral sequencing - that is, revisiting a concept repeatedly at a more difficult level each time (e.g. students use their knowledge of food groups to plan a healthy meal (and in future lessons a healthy week of eating)).
