FROM HUNCHES TO
AN EVIDENCE BASED LEARNING
HUNCHES WE HAD ……
• If ….. A lesson is planned using• Constructivist Approach• Thinking Skills• Conceptual lens• 3 Domains of Learning
• Then …….• Learning will more holistic and multidimensional.
To make this possible in the classrooms we developed
Intellectually Stimulating
Design Model
A design model is A lesson plan,used to teach scholastic subjects
• It is based on Constructivist approach• Enhances cognitive learning• Hones thinking skills• Develops conceptual understanding• Assessments weaved into the design• Uses three domains of learning
It makes
➢ Concept bigger than the content. ➢The lessons of the text book a base for developing skills
➢The assessments are woven within the context of the lesson.
➢ Learning a group process ➢ Learning more student led than teacher led.
