A Comprehensive Training Policy for Technical Teachers

• Communicate effectively and clearly in the language of instruction, both orally and
in writing, using correct grammar, in various contexts related to teaching-learning
and assessment.

5.4 MODULE 4: INSTRUCTIONAL PLANNING AND
DELIVERY

Rationale
This is one of the core skills for effective delivery in the learning process. The
inductee teacher should be able to appreciate the process of human learning and
curriculum design philosophies to interpret it rightly and deliver it effectively and
efficiently. This would help the teacher attain the planned outcome of the teaching-
learning experiences.

Contents
• Interpretation of learning outcomes; a clear grasp of the subject matter; learning
outcome objectives.

• Preparation and effective implementation of the lesson plan for systematic
presentation in the classroom.

• Effective chalkboard work; the right pace of delivery; use of interactive mode;
frequent recapitulation and summing up the key points.

• Co-relating lecture inputs effectively with tutorial exercises, home assignments and
laboratory work as well as indicating relevance to prevailing practices.

• Supplementing with brief handouts/ class-notes and references for detailed study.

• Appropriate instructional strategies and suitable teaching methods and media for
effective instruction and learning by students appropriate to the subject matter/
course content.

• Feedback mechanisms for continuous improvement in the teaching-learning
process.

Expected understanding
• Develop requisite learning materials and methodologies that are appropriate to the
level of students and the subject content, accomplishment of learning outcomes
and development of the competencies in the students as targeted in the program
of study, applying the principles related to:

i. Learning and instruction
ii. Instructional planning and delivery
iii. Practicum in the engineering classroom.

• Organize and deliver class/laboratory/workshop based and industry/service sector-
oriented instruction and learning to promote students’ overall ability, personality
and social development.
