Overall Educational Objective | To put instructional theory into practice and using information and options on basic concepts and principles of instructional planning, curriculum development, and assessment, devise a unit planner. | ||||||
Course Description | Students develop lesson plans and produce unit planners in relation to their subject teaching option. They prepare different types of lessons based on intended learning outcomes, and incorporate them into unit plans. Students prepare a vision statement of what their future class will look like in terms of instructional practice. | ||||||
Course Description in Turkish | Öğrenciler ders planları geliştirir ve konu öğretim seçeneklerine göre birim planlayıcıları üretir. İstenen öğrenme çıktılarına dayalı olarak farklı türde dersler hazırlar ve bunları ünite planlarına dahil ederler. Öğrenciler, gelecekteki sınıflarının öğretim pratiği açısından neye benzeyeceğine dair bir vizyon hazırlar. |
