EPC -3 Critical Understanding of ICT

Plan of Action (CAI)

Stage 1. Analysis:

Goals: To develop understanding of Constructivism

Task Analysis:
o Content analysis: Concept of constructivism, characteristics of constructivism,
difference between traditional teaching and constructivism,
o Task Analysis:(Basic skills required): computer operating skills, running video
files
Analysis of the learner: Graduate or post graduate adults, independent thinkers,able to
analyse the given content. They have knowledge of traditional learning and are familiar
with various learning experiences.

Stage 2. Design:

Designing Learning Outcomes (for Assessment):

After watching this presentation the learner will be able to..
o Define the term constructivism
o Describe the characteristics of constructivism
o Describe the different strategies of constructivist classroom.
o Apply constructivist approach in developing a CAI package
o Create a sample design of CAI package

Choosing the Course format: the class will be divided into 5 groups. All groups will be
given the prepared CAI. It will be a blend of computers (offline and online) and
classroom setting.

Creating an instructional strategy

o Pre instructional activities: questions will be asked to check students perception
about knowledge of construction.
o Learners participation: Group work, referring to given CAI, interaction in the
form of question answer. Discussion to describe and interpret the pictures in the
presentation
o Follow through activity: Students will be able to apply constructivist approach
while designing instruction.

Designing Evaluation Strategies:

o Formative evaluation: exploratory question throughout the process of learning.

o Summative evaluation: students will discuss the characteristics of

constructivism. Students will prepare a sample design of CAI for any topic of
their choice using Constructivist approach.

The principal wanted to use constructivist approach to teachinganimation
learning. He instructed all the teachers to prepare a CAI package in
their subject using constructivist approach.
Teachers were worried. They knew about the CAI package but were
not aware of using any learning approach. They all went to the
senior teacher who was expert in learning strategies.
She instead prepared a CAI on what is constructivist approach for
teachers and told them to interact with it in her absence.

Definition
Constructivism is an approach to learning based on the belief that
knowledge is constructed by the learner through an active, mental
process in a social set up.

Stage 4. Implementation: Students will be tested for basic skills of ICT. They will be
trained in these skills if required. Teacher will give necessary instructions. He/She will present
the prepared CAI package to the students. Students will be oriented to and trained in using
strategies of constructivism to prepare a CAI package.

Stage 5 Evaluation:
During presentation the teacher will ask questions based on the content presented in the CAI.
Few questions will be asked at the end of the CAI package to check their understanding.
Task will be given to the students to check the application of the learnt knowledge.
