This chapter talked about the process of instructional planning and development. It
differentiated the dissimilarities between the traditional way of teaching and OBE. UBD or
Understanding by design was also coined its definition and the framework was also explained
and provided with meaning which includes the desired results, assessment evidence and
learning plan. Furthermore, this chapter also unfolded the twelve important points to
remember when organizing and planning an instructional or lesson plan, where those twelve
important points were expanded and connected into an account why we should remember
those points when we are planning a learning plan. Also, the elements of a lesson plan were
discussed and had its accompanied meaning and explanation. Additionally, the chapter also
discussed the process of making lesson plan when deductive or inductive teaching is used in the
learning process.
Basically, what I have learned from this is all about the essentials and principal details to
be remembered when planning and organizing a learning plan. Lesson plan is considered to be
the teacher’s blueprint; thus, it must always be visible in teaching process. I had learned that in
making lesson plan, I, myself must be anchored to the important points to be remembered
when making the learning plan. I have to be relevant to the present and existing curriculum that
is based in our country for the reason that what I teach is anchored in t. Furthermore, it will
help me to be guided every time I’m making learning processes inside the classroom. I also
ingested the necessity of integrating the knowledge I’ve learned from the past lesson to make
the instructional plan even more meaningful. Another is, I must be vigilant with the
construction of my learning plan where, I should start with a clear end in mind, meaning to say
that I had to set objectives before anything else, because objectives determine the path or the
direction that I should take when I’m teaching. I also learned that during the formulation of the
learning plan I should also considered the effectivity of assessment to students, for the reason
that it will serve as a measurement of students’ understanding regarding the topic to which
was, I had presented to them. In addition, after the assessment was given, I should have to
utilize the result in order for me to know and distinguish the strength, the weakness and the
misconception of the students upon the topic that they were indulging in. Thus, I would also be
able to know what should I improve and enhance in my teaching.
Upon realizing and internalizing the learning I have, I will employ those learning I gained
from the latter discussion because first, all of them are helpful. I will utilize a learning plan
which is certain in anchoring itself in the curriculum of the school and of the CHED, because
through that I would be able to be guided with what I should do in order to meet the goals and
objectives given by the higher institution. I will also integrate the various factors that contribute
to the wholeness of the effectivity of the lesson plan, because as what I have said earlier, lesson
plan is the guiding armor of the teacher to be able to achieve success among students. Lastly,
this quote was literally deeply carved in my mind and in my whole being “not all planned lesson
plan is good, and not all unplanned lesson plan is disaster.” This quote certainly speaks about
the role of the teacher in the classroom and his or her task in making and organizing a lesson
plan. It is the blueprint of a teacher; however, it would not be as useful as it is if it is not used
appropriately, meaning to say conducive and effective learning always start with the teacher, it
always starts with me.
