It is also viewed as an approach that results to meaningful learning. • The revised curriculum deemphasises in totality the traditional teaching approach (TTA). • TTA is viewed as being sterile/non-interactive, teacher-dominated, expository and encourages memorisation of facts, (rote learning).

  9. Characteristics of MTA: • Learner centred • Activity or task-based • Interactive • Authentic Material (must come from learners’ immediate surroundings) • Integrative (no repetition of concepts under different themes) • Conceptual Understanding • Comprehensive Assessment

  10. Breaking the curriculum into syllabus, scheme of work and unit of work • The syllabus describes all topics that must be taught term by term throughout the course of study • The scheme of work is the arrangement of topics and content of syllabus into activities to be done every week • Unit of work is the grouping of related sub-topics brought under the same topic to be taught in one or more periods.

  11. Preparing Sample Lesson Plan based on a MTA As usual, there are two sections : • The Preliminary Section made of : Topic, Class, Age,Time, Instructional Objectives and Instructional Resources. • The Main Body made of the various steps. Below is a sample of what the main body of the lesson plan should look like.

  18. Formative Assessment • This type of assessment is done during teaching and learning • It is diagnostic in nature • It is done to find out weaknesses, challenges, problems and contradictions as learning progresses • It helps teachers modify teaching and learning

  19. Formative assessment contd • It opens up student-teacher relationship by allowing students and teachers to work together to make learning easy • It makes it possible for the provision of feedback to students • It helps a teacher identify concepts that students are struggling to understand and consequently adjust his/her approach towards that.

  20. Formative assessment • Its major goal is to collect detailed information that can be used to improve instruction and student learning.

  21. Summative Assessment • This type of assessment is used to evaluate students learning progress and achievement at the conclusion of a specific instructional period, example, end of a project, unit, course, term or school year. • While formative assessment is for learning, summative is of learning.
