Kc-10a Instructor Methodology

As teachers, you want to avoid extra confusion for your students.

It has all the critical attributes; instructional device, perceived by sight, easily understood, properly presented, transmit the desired message.

The planning process involves determining the objective, developing a tentative lesson plan to include main points, determining the need for a teaching interview and finding and expert.

Placement tests are a type of education evaluation used to place students in the appropriate level course.

Time constraints (one hour) and size (over 50 students).

SMSgt King receives feedback and now knows how to possibly improve his presentation prior to his summative exam. That's exactly what formative evaluations are designed to do.

Personal bias and rating errors will be eliminated by a trained evaluator using a standardized rating instrument. Validity and reliability is obtained by several observations under various conditions.

The first consideration in planning the body of the lesson is how to organize the main points to help both the speaker and the audience remember the material.

Audience analysis gives the instructors background information (i.e. age, education level, sex interest, etc.) about the audience so the lesson can be adapted to the audience.

An audience analysis is done fist according to ISD. According to Dr John Kline, the next logical step is to write down the body to include the support material. The body serves as a guide for the introduction and conclusion.

Formative evaluation is the process of using data to make a judgment about student abilities to achieve educational objectives compared to a known standard for the purpose of student feedback prior to the completion of the unit of instruction. The fact that SSgt. May doesn't count the scores toward their final grades but uses the results as feedback in preparation for the final exam makes this a formative exam.

Always measuring student against set standards (objectively) will enhance a person’s self-concept.

Properly used proxemics will allow students to see each other and the instructor for interaction. Proxemics will also make the students feel comfortable about asking questions. A well-prepared instructor will always increase creditability by being prepared to teach.

Capt Smith over controlled in the first main point and did not control the second main point. Therefore, the objective will probably not be reached.

The application of tools provided to the students should be applied to new problems elevating the students to higher levels on the cognitive domain.

The teaching interview method will most likely help students reach the valuing level of learning because the expertise of the guest will add credibility to the lesson that the instructor doesn't inherently have. The instructor can certainly reach the responding level on his own, but the guest's expertise will more likely allow the student to reach the valuing level of learning.

Because this examination is used to place John in a specific class, it can be called a placement evaluation. The definition of placement evaluation is the process of using data to make a judgment about student abilities to achieve educational objectives compared to a known standard for the purpose of student placement prior to the beginning of the unit of instruction.

The evaluator, using an established, must use observation and judgment to estimate a person's performance.

Explains (Explanation), exemplifies (demonstration), performance under supervision and assess (evaluation is the correct sequence. The students are evaluated to the standard in the criterion objective.

The course planner must consider all of the factors and constraints along with the domains and levels of learning before deciding that more than one method is needed for learning to occur.

Once the ISD process is complete, the success of the lesson is determined based on the objective. The different teaching methods were at the application level to meet the objective.

Feedback should be flexible, constructive, organized and comprehensive.

Evaluation is the central focus of ISD. It occurs in all phases and functions.

It is the only option that includes parameters exclusive to the case study method per AMF 36-2236 and information provided during classroom presentation.

The instructor didn't introduce the expert. Without a brief biography of pertinent information, the students won't fully appreciate his expertise at the beginning of the lesson. Hopefully, they'll come to appreciate the guest speaker's experience level as the lesson proceeds.

This is one of the six basic tenets of Progressivism.

The goal of personalizing lesson plans to make your students more receptive and enhance teaching effectiveness. Instructors are much more effective when using plans that have been modified to fit their personalities because the students will detect the level of sincerity and comfort and the use of personal experiences can only reinforce the instructor's credibility making him/her more effective.

Only when a teacher asks clear, concise questions, will the students be able to comprehend the intent of the question. This is important, particularly because questions are often used to draw support for a lesson.

A complete review of quantitative and qualitative analysis should be done before changes are made to test items.

Thinking process (brain) deals with the cognitive domain.

The entire focus of proxemics is to create an environment that enhances the learning process. Proxemics are actions and considerations that instructors should be aware before students walk into the classroom.

Transitions restate, relate and introduce lesson material to aid the audience continuity and understanding.

A lead off question is designed to stimulate thinking, generate discussion and is phrased so students are aware of the main point.

It is the only response that highlights the use of the case study. Taking real world scenarios and using information already obtained to produce several possible solutions.

A perennialist teacher would emphasize content, which is based on the classics and have students seek truth within themselves.

This statement includes all the items listed on the administration checklist; provide a good introduction; provide students with instructions, move smoothly from stage to stage, monitor the games progress, and provide a good conclusion.

Focus is on student to master a physical skill. Deals directly with the psychomotor domain (complex overt response). Most likely be taught using the demonstration- performance method.

The design phase focuses on writing the lesson objective, samples of behavior, strategy statement and outline of each lesson.

The domain to primarily teach from will be decided in the analysis phase.

Extrapolation requires prediction, the ability to determine the possible outcome.

She omitted the overview step that is considered extremely important when using the guided discussion method, which could possible lead to the lesson objective not being met.

The case study does bridge the gap between theory and practice.

According to Dr. Norman Gronlund, the test item stem should present a meaningful and definite problem to solve; in this case, it does.

The instructor as a helper possesses high levels of empathy. Empathy requires the instructor to be able to have an intellectual understanding of what a person is experiencing.

Capt Goble already has experience on the job, knows the general information needed to become more proficient, and is internally motivated.

Although considered the oldest of all visual aids handouts are still the most reliable.

Capt Bengoa chose to take the classes, which indicates she is self-directing and internally motivated. The classes will teach her to handle real-life wants and tasks she encounters in her hobbies.

John is self-directing, show a readiness to learn that will satisfy real-life wants and needs, and is internally motivated to learn.

A perennialist would deliver Socratic teaching and assign research papers and introspective homework. He or she would be an accomplished researcher and writer in order to do these tasks and model expert behavior.

A principle is two or more concepts link by an action verb focusing on the relationship between the two concepts.

Instructors need to be able to alter the types of questions based on the discussion but also listen to ensure intervening takes place with appropriate questions at the appropriate times.

These are part of the 10 specific guidelines for test construction and three general guidelines.

Quantitative analysis is defined as the use of statistical measures.

It directly addresses why an instructor's educational theory influences the way he or she teaches and the areas educational theories impact.

MSgt Jones failed to utilize a motivation step in her lesson plan and presentation. The students will be unclear as to how they can best use this information.

The teaching method in which the students encounter a real life or fictional situation using the facts associated with that case to develop support for the lesson objective is the case study method.

The fact the instruction have to briefed two days prior to the lesson and there are also three reading assignments, does not present a user friendly activity. The requirement for an even number of student for the activity to work could cause major problems.

The criterion objective consist of performance (what you want them to do), conditions (provisions and restrictions), and standards (specifies how well the student must perform at the time of evaluation).

AL focuses on creating a favorable learning environment, including addressing instructor burnout.

We are directed by policy to follow a systematic approach to course development. A systematic process ensures all aspects of each ISD phase are completed before moving onto the next one. Each phase depends on the quality of the products from earlier phases.

All elements of accelerated learning are present. (Multiples sensory, brain compatible, and presentation of material).

The intent of accelerated is to put student in a relaxed state so material can be positively received and subsequently retained for a longer period of time.

Sincerity is a characteristic the instructor as a helper possesses. Part of sincerity requires the instructor to always be honest.

It contains three of the five elements of the adult learner; has experience, is internally motivated, and has a real-life problem-solving orientation.

The lowest sub-level of comprehension is Translate and it won't allow the student to interpret the information (give meaning behind it).

Students will understand the meaning of the terms you are teaching and is the best way to ensure your students will reach the comprehension level in the cognitive domain.

This solution allows the instructor to gently resolve the problem without forcing help on her, making her ask for help or embarrassing her. These are essential in the helping relationship.

Phases are used to develop instruction and functions are defined as task that need to be accomplished when necessary in support of each phase.

The instructor has equal experience in the subject. The depth understanding would not be significantly increased over what the instructor could already present. If the interviewee had significantly more experience than the instructor did, then it would be worth the time/effort to bring in a guest as you'd more likely achieve a higher level of learning.

It contains all parts of the teaching and interview method Intro, Body, Conclusion. Alternative (B) is the only choice that contains the warm-up question in the transition, a unique part of the teaching interview that isn't part of the other methods taught at AIS.

It is the only response that has all the attributes of educational evaluation.

The response focuses on whole brain learning. (Learning styles, senses and the processing of material from a brain compatible standpoint).

Test items should be written based on measurable samples of behavior that measure the student's achievement of the lesson objective (the focus of the lesson).

A topical approach allows the audience to better understand each section of the form and how to use it.

As stated in the case study lecture, the case elements are key words from the main points.

In order to administer an experiential method of instruction, you must have: (1) good introduction, (2) clear instructions, (3) move form stage to stage, and (4) good conclusion, as said in the lecture.

The basic concepts of educational evaluation include the systematic process of creating data by judging how well students have met the educational objectives based. on a predetermined standard. "Gathering information" is the first attribute and "forming an opinion" is the second attribute. "Comparing the information against a predetermined purpose" is the third attribute while "determining the accuracy to which the student met the predetermined criterion" is the final attribute.

The definition covers the brain compatible approach to learning and emphasize the key to accelerated learning which is to retain material.

Accelerated Learning emphasizes having the student in a relaxed state and presenting information creatively to engage right and left brain hemispheres for better learning results.

This is a progressivist's principle.

Each of the listed parts is integral aspect of the Body of the lesson, and the Body is where an instructor presents the substance of the lesson.

Per AFMAN 36-2236, the case study allows the students to meet real-life situations in the classroom, and learn from them.

These are some of the behaviors a progressivist would exhibit.

Any type of question that is directed to the group rather than to a specific individual and to which an answer is expected is considered an overhead question. Overhead question promote learning by stimulating thinking and getting participation started.

If you know the students have little information on the subject, it is best to combine methods, such as use and informal lecture to teach additional material and then play a game that helps to reinforce the material taught in the lecture.

The teaching interview requires the use of an expert to provide support and the guided discussion ask question to the students who provide support. Questions are used in both methods.

Mr. King gives the student with the highest score an "A", and the student with the lowest score an "F", he has rank ordered his student's results.

Feedback should be thorough (comprehensive), useful (constructive), ordered (organized) and acceptable (When students shut down she gives more positives).

The entire purpose of proxemics is to create an environment or atmosphere where learning can best take place.

Proxemics advocates the arrangement of tables and chairs to encourage interaction and meaningful gestures and body movement by the instructor. Proxemics also includes overcoming stage fright in order to gain creditability and confidence.

It encompasses both the concepts of military doctrine and daily jobs (peacetime missions) in logical relationship.

Case studies lend themselves to lessons at higher levels of learning and lessons where some understanding of the subject is desired or necessary to solve problems.

A quantitative analysis was done on each test item of each test to determine the overall ease index for each item. From here one is able to do an effective qualitative analysis.

According to the seminar and auditorium lectures, the affective domain consists of positive and neutral feelings toward the material.

Drinking before and during a lesson is suggested as a tip for managing and eliminating stage fright.

It describes a cause/effect principle lesson.

By participating in a guided discussion, students are exposed to the opinion of others and are forced to defend their personal position.

Effective performance evaluation training programs reduces rating errors.

This is a progressivist principle.

Essentialists emphasize the basics and lessons learned from the part. He or she is a subject matter expert, who recommends return to traditional methods of discipline.

Examples, definitions and comparisons are all types of clarification support. Clarification support provides understanding of the lesson material by reducing abstraction to establish common ground. Clarification support is used primarily to inform.

Reliability is the degree to which a test instrument yields consistent results; keeping in mind the students being tested should be from homogenous groups.

It indicates internal motivation, existing knowledge and experience, and using the information to solve real-life wants and needs. Although the knowledge is required for the new job, the desire to qualify for the new job signifies internal motivation and self-direction.

The domain and the level must be chosen in the analysis phase because all lesson objectives, measurable samples of behaviors and test questions will be written to this level.

It's measurable, verifiable, reliable and observable. It also reflects the correct level of learning and contains the subject to be learned. Therefore, it contains all the necessary elements of a measurable sample of behavior.

The teaching interview method uses an expert to support the lesson. The instructor is not an expert for this topic and therefore uses the expert. This method is great to use to reach the higher affective objectives.

The game allows the couples to put the information to practice, which aids in achieving affective domain high level of learning.

Provides an explanation of the importance of principle teaching focusing on the relationship between two concepts (topics).

This scenario accounts for all the areas of general consideration; the objective, time limits, group size, supplies/materials, and physical setting.

The adult learner has achieved experience, is internally motivated, and desires to learn to address real-life wants and needs.
