Focus Questions:

• What guiding principles must be observed in
  the selection and organization of content?
• What is the structure of the subject matter that
  we teach?
• How can students be helped in the construction
  of a more enriched knowledge-base?
• What strategies can be employed for teaching
  conceptual understanding, thinking skills in the
  different levels, and values?
Introduction

      What knowledge is truly essential and enduring?
  What is worth teaching and learning? Our leaders in
  the basic education level came up with the Philippine
  Elementary Learning Competencies (PELCs) and
  Philippine     Secondary     Learning      Competencies
  (PSLCs) in 2001. The "intended" content of what we
  teach is laid down in such document. This means that
  we are not entirely free in the selection of our content.
  They are a "given." But how they are organized and
  presented in the classroom, ultimately depends on
  you. Here are some principles to guide you.
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content


   1. One guiding principle related to subject
     matter content is to observe the following
     qualities in the selection and organization of
     content:
   Validity – Teaching the content that we ought to
    teach according to national standards explicit in
    the Basic Education Curriculum; it also means
    teaching the content in order to realize the goals
    and objectives of the course as laid down in the
    basic education curriculum. (see figure)
Significance – What we teach should respond to the
needs and interests of the learners, hence meaningful
and significant.




               Adapted from Fink, L.D. (2003). Creating
             Significant Learning Experiences, Jossey-Bass.
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content

Balance – Content includes not only facts but also
  concepts and values. The use of the three-level approach
  ensures a balance of cognitive, psychomotor, and
  affective lesson content.
      A balanced content is something that is not too easy
  to bore the above average student, neither not too
  difficult to turn off the average. It is something that
  challenges the student. To observe the principle of
  balance, no topic must be extensively discussed at the
  expense of other topics.
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content

 Self-sufficiency – Content fully covers the essentials.
   Learning content is not "mile-wide-and-inch-deep."
   The essentials are sufficiently covered and are treated
    in depth. This is a case of "less is more."
 Interest – Teacher considers the interest of the learners,
   their developmental stages and cultural and ethnic
   background.
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content


 Utility – Will this content be of use to the learners?
   It is not meant only to be memorized for test and
   grade purposes. What is learned has a function
   even after examinations are over.
 Feasibility – The content is feasible in the sense that
   the essential content can be covered in the amount
   of time available for instruction. A guaranteed and
   a viable curriculum is the first in the school-
   related factors that has the greatest impact on
   student achievement. (Marzano, 2003)
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content

   It is observed that there is so much content to cover
 within the school year, so much so that teachers tend to
 rush towards the end of the school year, do superficial
 teaching and contribute to non-mastery of content.
 This is probably one reason why the least mastered
 competencies in national examinations given to pupils
 and students are those competencies which are found
 at the end of the Philippine Elementary/Secondary
 Learning Competencies (PELC/PSLC).
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content



  2. At the base of the structure of cognitive subject
     matter content is facts. We can't do away with
     facts but be sure to go beyond facts by
     constructing an increasingly richer and more
     sophisticated knowledge base and by working
     out a process of conceptual understanding.
          Here are a few ways cited by cognitive
     psychologists (Ormrod, 2000) by which you can
     help your students:
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content


  • Providing opportunities for experimentation – our
    so-called experiments in the science classes are
    more of this sort - following a cook book recipe
      where students are made to follow step-by-step
    procedure to end up confirming a law that has
    already been experimented on and discovered by
    great scientists ahead of us instead of the students
    coming up with their own procedure and end
    discovering something new.
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content



   After teaching your students how to cook a
  recipe following the procedures laid down in a
  cookbook, allow them to experiment with mix
  of ingredients.
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content

• Presenting the ideas of others – While it is beneficial
  for you to encourage your students to discover
  principles for themselves, it will not jeopardize your
  students if you present the ideas of others who
  worked hard over the years to explain phenomena.
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content


• Emphasizing conceptual understanding – Many a
  time, our teaching is devoted only to memorization
  of isolated facts for purposes of examinations and
  grade. When we teach facts only, the tendency is
  we are able to cover more for your students to
  commit to memory and for you to cover in a test
  but our teaching ends up skin-deep or superficial,
  thus meaningless. If we emphasize conceptual
  understanding, the emphasis goes beyond facts. We
  integrate and correlate facts, concepts, and values in
  a meaningful manner.
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content


  The many facts become integrated into a less number
  of concepts, yet more meaningful and consequently
  easier to recall. When we stress on conceptual
  teaching, we are occupied with less, but we are able
  to teach more substantially. It is a case of "less is
  more!" This is precisely the emphasis of the Basic
  Education Curriculum.
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content




                                        Example: What Do
                                        Mommies Do?
                                        -responsibility
                                        -love of family
                                        -cooking
                                        -nutrition
                                        -health
                                        -measurement
                                        -recreation and play
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content

        Here are some specific strategies that can help
   you develop conceptual understanding in your
   students: (Ormrod, 2000)
 Organize units around a few core ideas and themes.



                                             Maslow’s
                                            Hierarchy of
                                               Needs
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content

 Explore each topic in depth – for example, by
  considering many examples, examining cause-effect
  relationships, and discovering how specific details
  relate to more general principles.
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content

 Explain how new ideas relate to students' own
  experiences and to things they have previously
  learned.




                        Computers in Health Care
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content

 Show students – through the things we say, the
  assignments we give, and the criteria we use to
  evaluate learning – that conceptual understanding of
  subject matter is far more important than knowledge of
  isolated facts.
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content

 Ask students to teach to others what they have learned
  – a task that encourages them to focus on main ideas
  and pull them together in a way that makes sense.
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content

 Promoting dialogue – when we encourage our students
  to talk about what they learn, they are given the
  opportunity to reflect, elaborate on, clarify further and
  master what they have learned.
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content

  Using authentic activities – incorporate your
   lessons into "real world" activities. Instead of
   simply asking students to work on some items on
   subtraction, simulate a "sari-sari" store and apply
   subtraction skills.
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content

 3. Subject matter content is an integration of
    cognitive, skill, and affective elements.
       While our subject matter content comes in three
    domains, these three domains should not be treated
    as though there was a clear dividing line among
    them. When our point of emphasis is the cognitive
    aspect, it does not mean that we exclude skills. In
    the first place, our teaching of facts, concepts,
    principles, theories and laws necessitate the skill of
    seeing the relationships among these in order to see
    meaning.
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content


  Likewise, when our subject matter is focused on the
    thinking and manipulative skills, our lesson
    content also has cognitive content. More so with
    the teaching of values, for values have definitely a
    cognitive basis. If the values taught are imbibed
    by the students, these are expressed in their daily
    behavior (skill). The cognitive lesson may be
    used as a vehicle in the teaching of skills and
    values.
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content

   In short, subject matter content is an integration of
  facts, concepts, principles, hypothesis, theories, and
  laws, thinking skills, manipulative skills, values and
  attitudes.
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content

 The Structure of Subject Matter Content

          Our subject matter content includes cognitive,
   skill, and affective components. The cognitive
   component is concerned with facts, concepts,
   principles, hypothesis, theories, and laws. The skill
   component refers to thinking skills as well as
   manipulative skills while the affective component is
   the realm of values and attitudes.
The Structure of Subject Matter Content

Cognitive (Ormrod, 2000)
• Fact – an idea or action that can be verified
   Example: Names and dates of important activities,
     population of the Philippines.
The Structure of Subject Matter Content


     Facts are the basic unit of cognitive subject
  matter content. From facts, we go higher to
  concepts, principles, hypotheses, theories and
  laws. It is, therefore, necessary that the facts
  that we begin with are updated and accurate.
• Concept – a categorization of events, places,
  people, ideas
     Example: The concept furniture includes
  objects as chairs, tables, beds, and desks. (see
  next slide)
Example: The concept swim encompasses different
  actions like breast stroke, crawl, and butterfly that
  involve propelling oneself through water.
The Structure of Subject Matter Content

• Principle – relationship(s) between and among facts
  and concepts. These are arrived at when similar
  research studies yield similar results time after time.
    Example: The number of children in the family is
  related to the average scores on nationally
  standardized achievement tests for those children.
Findings:

Since, as we shall see, there are marked negative effects on IQ of increasing
sibling size, it is possible that IQ, as well as the dilution of material
resources among many children, affects the drop-out rates among those from
large families.

Thus, we find that large families have been a continuing drag on the
society's effort to provide openness in graded schooling, and an increasing
drag on our ability to provide equal opportunity at the college level.

The Structure of Subject Matter Content

• Hypothesis – educated guesses about relationships
  (principles)
      Example: For lower division undergraduate
  students, study habits is a better predictor of success
  in a college course than is a measure of intelligence
  or reading comprehension.

    Hard work and determination are more
         important than test scores.

• Theories – set of facts, concepts and principles that
  describe    possible     underlying    unobservable
  mechanisms that regulate human learning,
  development, and behavior. They explain why
  these principles are true.
        Examples: Piaget's theory on cognitive
  development (see slide), Kohlberg's theory on
  moral development.

The Structure of Subject Matter Content


Learners seem to acquire general belief system –
personal theories – about how the world operates. By
the time they go to school, children have their own
personal theories about things and happenings in the
world. These personal beliefs may not necessarily be
accurate beliefs. Even the author of this book thought
that every time she swallowed a santol seed, the seed
would germinate in her stomach and its branches and
leaves would grow out of her ears, nose and mouth.
Therefore, much is demanded of you as a teacher in
order to promote effective construction of knowledge
and eliminate misconceptions.
The Structure of Subject Matter Content

• Laws – firmly established, thoroughly tested principle
  or theory.
    Examples: Thorndike's law of effect, law on the
  conservation of matter and energy, the law of supply
  and demand.


                        Law of Effect: Responses followed by a
                        satisfying state of affairs (trial and error)
                        were gradually stamped in (developed) as
                        habits; responses followed by an annoying
                        state of affairs were gradually stamped out
                        as habits (eliminated from the animal's
                        behavioral repertoire).



           Thorndike
Law on the Conservation of Matter and Energy




                       http://www.icr.org/law-conservation/

One of most basic laws of science is the Law of the Conservation of Energy.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be changed from one form to
another.
Energy is not currently being created. The universe could not have created itself
using natural processes because nature did not exist before the universe came into
existence. Something beyond nature must have created all the energy and matter
that is observed today. Present measures of energy are immeasurably enormous,
indicating a power source so great that "infinite" is the best word we have to
describe it.
The logical conclusion is that our supernatural Creator with infinite power
created the universe. There is no energy source capable to originate what we
observe today.

Skills
• Thinking Skills – These refer to the skills beyond the
  recall and comprehension. They are skills concerned
  with the application of what was learned, (in problem-
  solving or in real life) synthesis, evaluation and
  critical and creative thinking.

 Divergent thinking – this includes fluent thinking,
original thinking, flexible thinking, and elaborative
thinking:
The Structure of Subject Matter Content

fluent thinking – is characterized by the generation
  of lots of ideas. Thought flow is rapid. It is
  thinking of the most possible ideas.
The Structure of Subject Matter Content

flexible thinking – is characterized by a variety of
thoughts in the kinds of ideas generated. Different
ideas from those usually presented flow from
flexible thinkers.

The Structure of Subject Matter Content


original thinking – is thinking that differs
  from what's gone before. Thought production
  is away from the obvious and is different
  from the norm.
The Structure of Subject Matter Content

elaborative thinking – embellishes on previous ideas
  or plans. (Torres, 1994) It uses prior knowledge to
  expand and add upon things and ideas.
The Structure of Subject Matter Content

Convergent thinking – it is narrowing down from
 many possible thoughts to end up on a single best
 thought or an answer to a problem.
The Structure of Subject Matter Content

 Problem solving – it is made easier when the
  problem is well-defined. "The proper definition of a
  problem is already half the solution." It is doubly
  difficult when the problem is ill-defined. When it is
  ill-defined, then the first thing to teach our students
  is to better define the problem. Here are some
  techniques (Ormrod, 2000):
- Break large problems into well-defined ones
- Distinguish information needed
- Identify techniques to find needed information
The Structure of Subject Matter Content

     Problems can be solved by using an algorithm or
a heuristic strategy. Solving a problem by the use of
an algorithm means following specific, step-by-step
instructions. An example is when you assemble the
dismantled parts of a new toy by following the "how
to    assemble"      instructions.  Fortunately    or
unfortunately, not all problems are solved by the use
of algorithms. When there is no algorithm for
solving a problem, we use heuristics, general
problem-solving strategy, for a solution. These are
informal, intuitive, speculative strategies that
sometimes lead to an effective solution and
sometimes do not.
The Structure of Subject Matter Content

      How can we help our students acquire effective
problem-solving strategies? Ormrod (2000) cites a
number situations in which they can be used.
 - Provide worked-out examples of algorithms being
   applied.
 - Help students understand why particular
   algorithms are relevant and effective in certain
   situations.
 - When a student's application of algorithm yields an
   incorrect answer, look closely at the specific steps
   the student has taken until the trouble spot is
   located.
Example of
Algorithm
Example of Heuristics -- levels of influence, contexts,
      concepts, constituents and dimensions
The Structure of Subject Matter Content

For teaching heuristics:
- Give students practice in defining ill-defined problems.
- Teach heuristics that students can use where no
  algorithms apply.
       For teaching both algorithm and heuristics –
  Teach problem-solving strategies within the context
  of specific subject areas (not as a topic separate from
  academic content) – Provide scaffolding for difficult
  problems – for example by breaking them into
  smaller and simpler problem, giving hints about
  possible strategies, or providing partial solutions.
The Structure of Subject Matter Content

        Have students solve problems in small groups,
sharing ideas about problem-solving strategies,
modelling various approaches for one another, and
discussing the merits of each approach. Problem solving
involves both divergent and convergent thinking.
Divergent thinking enables you to generate a diverse
assortment of possible solutions to a problem. From the
diverse possible solutions, you arrive at the best possible
answer.
The Structure of Subject Matter Content

 Metaphoric thinking – This type of thinking uses
  analogic thinking, a figure of speech where a word is
  used in a manner different from its ordinary designation
  to suggest or imply a parallelism or similarity.
  Example: Teaching is lighting a candle. The learner's
  mind is a "blank slate."
 This may also be called analogic thinking.
An analogy is simply a comparison between
         two objects or concepts.
    Example: A plane flies like a bird.
The Structure of Subject Matter Content
 Critical thinking - It involves evaluating information
  or arguments in terms of their accuracy and worth.
  (Beyer, 1985) It takes a variety of forms – verbal
  reasoning, argument analysis, hypothesis testing,
  and decision making.
The Structure of Subject Matter Content
Verbal reasoning – an example is evaluating the
persuasive techniques found in oral or written language.
You employ this when you evaluate the reliability and
the truth of advertisements that bombard you everyday.

The Structure of Subject Matter Content

Argument analysis – You are engaged in this critical
thinking process when you discriminate between reasons
that do and do not support a particular conclusion.
Example: The ground is wet so it must have rained last
night.
When you analyse the given argument and determine
whether or not the reason, "it must have rained last night"
logically support or does not logically support the
argument.
The Structure of Subject Matter Content

Hypothesis testing – It is evaluating the value of data
  and research results in terms of the methods used to
  obtain them and their potential relevance to
  particular conclusions. A question you will ask
  when you are engaged in critical thinking as you are
  engaged in hypothesis testing is: Did I make use of
  an appropriate method to measure a particular
  outcome?
The Structure of Subject Matter Content


Decision making – we are engaged in critical
  thinking when we weigh the pros and cons of
  each proposed alternative approach.
The Structure of Subject Matter Content

 Creative thinking - This type of thinking involves
  "producing something that is both original and
  worthwhile. (Sternberg, 2003) It is original thinking,
  one type of divergent thinking. It is the process of
  bringing something new into birth. It is seeing new
  relationships and the use of imagination and
  inventiveness.
The Structure of Subject Matter Content

What creative thinking behaviors should be
developed?
Awareness – The ability to notice the attributes of
things in the environment so as to build a knowledge
base that is the beginning of all other forms of
creative thinking.

• Manipulative Skills – There are courses that are
  dominantly skill-oriented like Computer, Home
  Economics and Technology, Physical Education,
  Music and the like. In the biological and physical
  sciences manipulative skills such as focusing the
  microscope, mounting specimens on the slide,
  operating simple machines and other scientific
  gadgets, mixing chemicals are also taught.
The Structure of Subject Matter Content

The learning of these manipulative skills begin with
naive manipulation and ends up in expert and precise
manipulation.
The Structure of Subject Matter Content

Interactive attitudes and values
      In the three-level approach to teaching, values are
  at the apex of the triangle. It is because it is in the
  teaching of values that the teaching of facts, skills
  and concepts become connected to the life of the
  students, thus acquiring meaning. Without the value-
  level of teaching, we contribute to the development
  of persons who have big heads but tiny hearts. We
  contribute to the formation of "intellectual giants"
  but emotional dwarfs.
The Structure of Subject Matter Content

Shall we teach values?
   Can values be taught? Many say "NO," rather values
  are caught. The author, however, would dare say
  "YES!" Values are taught and caught! Due to the
  belief that values cannot be taught, many teachers
  relegate values in the background. Values can be
  taught, because like any subject matter, they too have
  a cognitive dimension, in addition to the affective and
  behavioral dimension. (Aquino, 1990)
The Structure of Subject Matter Content

The cognitive dimension – When we teach the value
 of honesty we ask the following questions: What is
 meant by honesty? Why do I have to be honest? The
 affective dimension – You have to feel something
 towards honesty. You have to be moved towards
 honesty as preferable to dishonesty. The behavioral
 dimension – You lead an honest life.
The Structure of Subject Matter Content


How can we teach values?
 By deutero-learning – Your student learns by being
  exposed to the situation, by acquainting himself
  with a setting, by following models, pursuing
  inspirations and copying behavior. YOUR
  CRITICAL ROLE AS MODELS IN AND
  OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM CANNOT BE
  OVEREMPHASIZED.
 By positively reinforcing good behavior.
 By teaching the cognitive component of values in
  the classroom.
The Department of Education Culture and Sports
(DECS) provides and promotes values education at all
three levels of the educational system for the
development of the human person committed to the
building "of a just and humane society" and an
independent and democratic nation.

THE VALUES EDUCATION PROGRAM

Values Education as a part of the school curriculum is
the process by which values are formed in the learner
under the guidance of the teacher and as he interacts
with this environment. But it involves not just any kind
of teaching-learning process.
First of all, the subject matter itself, values, has direct
and immediate relevance to the personal life of the
learner.
Second, the process is not just cognitive but involves
all the faculties of the learner. The teacher must appeal
not only to the mind but the hearts as well, in fact, the
total human person.



                 Reference: http://valueseducation.net/
THE VALUES EDUCATION PROGRAM

Third, one learns values the way children learn many
things from their parents. Children identify with
parents, and this identification becomes the vehicle
for the transmission of learning, be it language or the
values of thrift and hard work. Hence, the teacher’s
personal values play an important role in values
learning.
THE VALUES EDUCATION PROGRAM
                Maximiliano Rebollo, O.P.
          Moral Education in the School (2000):
The term moral education signifies the development of man
  in his operational aspect, tendencies, affections, conduct.
  Some refer to moral education as the education of the
  will.
Moral education aims to develop in man a firm conviction
 of the worthiness of moral behavior, a sense of moral
 responsibility. It aims to bring man’s act to perfection by
 the acquisition of the art of living known as virtue.
The objective of moral education is to make the will
  embrace the good proposed by right reason. Moral
  education adjusts human conduct to the fundamental
  principle of morality – the good is to be done, while evil
  is to be avoided.

Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content


 Let us teach the content that:
 • Is aligned with the goals and objectives of the
   basic education curriculum.
 • Responds to the needs of the learner.
 • Includes cognitive skill and affective elements.
 • Fully and deeply covers the essentials to avoid the
   "mile-wide-and-inch-deep" impression.
 • That is of use to the learners.
 • That is viable and feasible.
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content

 Facts are basic in the structure of cognitive subject
  matter. But content must go beyond facts.
 Working out a process of conceptual understanding
  means teaching and learning beyond facts. This can be
  done by the use of the thematic or the integrated
  approach.
 Subject matter content integrates the cognitive, skill,
  and affective components.
 The cognitive content includes facts, concepts,
  principles, hypotheses, theories and laws.
 The skill component dwells on thinking skills and
  manipulative skills.
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content




                         The thinking skills include:
                           •
                             Divergent thinking
                           •
                             Convergent thinking
                           •
                             Problem solving
                           •
                             Metaphoric thinking
                           •
                             Critical thinking
                           •
                             Creative thinking
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content

 Divergent thinking             Critical thinking comes
  includes:                       in varied forms:
• Fluent thinking               • Verbal reasoning
• Flexible thinking             • Argument analysis
• Original thinking             • Hypothesis testing
• Elaborative thinking          • Decision making


 Problem solving involves
  either an algorithmic or a
  heuristic strategy.
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content

  For creative thinking
   we must develop:
 • Awareness
 • Curiosity
 • Imagination
 • Fluency
 • Flexibility
 • Originality
 • Elaboration
 • Perseverance
Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content


   The affective component is concerned with values
     and attitudes. When we teach values, we
     connect facts, skills, and concepts to the life of
     students.
   Values can be taught. They are both taught and
     caught.

Selection and Organization of Content

  • 1. Selection and Organization of Content
  • 2. "There are dull teachers, dull textbooks, dull films, but no dull subjects." - Anonymous
  • 3. Focus Questions: • What guiding principles must be observed in the selection and organization of content? • What is the structure of the subject matter that we teach? • How can students be helped in the construction of a more enriched knowledge-base? • What strategies can be employed for teaching conceptual understanding, thinking skills in the different levels, and values?
  • 4. Introduction What knowledge is truly essential and enduring? What is worth teaching and learning? Our leaders in the basic education level came up with the Philippine Elementary Learning Competencies (PELCs) and Philippine Secondary Learning Competencies (PSLCs) in 2001. The "intended" content of what we teach is laid down in such document. This means that we are not entirely free in the selection of our content. They are a "given." But how they are organized and presented in the classroom, ultimately depends on you. Here are some principles to guide you.
  • 5. Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content 1. One guiding principle related to subject matter content is to observe the following qualities in the selection and organization of content: Validity – Teaching the content that we ought to teach according to national standards explicit in the Basic Education Curriculum; it also means teaching the content in order to realize the goals and objectives of the course as laid down in the basic education curriculum. (see figure)
  • 6.
  • 7. Significance – What we teach should respond to the needs and interests of the learners, hence meaningful and significant. Adapted from Fink, L.D. (2003). Creating Significant Learning Experiences, Jossey-Bass.
  • 8. Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content Balance – Content includes not only facts but also concepts and values. The use of the three-level approach ensures a balance of cognitive, psychomotor, and affective lesson content. A balanced content is something that is not too easy to bore the above average student, neither not too difficult to turn off the average. It is something that challenges the student. To observe the principle of balance, no topic must be extensively discussed at the expense of other topics.
  • 9. Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content Self-sufficiency – Content fully covers the essentials. Learning content is not "mile-wide-and-inch-deep." The essentials are sufficiently covered and are treated in depth. This is a case of "less is more." Interest – Teacher considers the interest of the learners, their developmental stages and cultural and ethnic background.
  • 10. Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content Utility – Will this content be of use to the learners? It is not meant only to be memorized for test and grade purposes. What is learned has a function even after examinations are over. Feasibility – The content is feasible in the sense that the essential content can be covered in the amount of time available for instruction. A guaranteed and a viable curriculum is the first in the school- related factors that has the greatest impact on student achievement. (Marzano, 2003)
  • 11. Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content It is observed that there is so much content to cover within the school year, so much so that teachers tend to rush towards the end of the school year, do superficial teaching and contribute to non-mastery of content. This is probably one reason why the least mastered competencies in national examinations given to pupils and students are those competencies which are found at the end of the Philippine Elementary/Secondary Learning Competencies (PELC/PSLC).
  • 12. Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content 2. At the base of the structure of cognitive subject matter content is facts. We can't do away with facts but be sure to go beyond facts by constructing an increasingly richer and more sophisticated knowledge base and by working out a process of conceptual understanding. Here are a few ways cited by cognitive psychologists (Ormrod, 2000) by which you can help your students:
  • 13. Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content • Providing opportunities for experimentation – our so-called experiments in the science classes are more of this sort - following a cook book recipe where students are made to follow step-by-step procedure to end up confirming a law that has already been experimented on and discovered by great scientists ahead of us instead of the students coming up with their own procedure and end discovering something new.
  • 14. Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content After teaching your students how to cook a recipe following the procedures laid down in a cookbook, allow them to experiment with mix of ingredients.
  • 15. Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content • Presenting the ideas of others – While it is beneficial for you to encourage your students to discover principles for themselves, it will not jeopardize your students if you present the ideas of others who worked hard over the years to explain phenomena.
  • 16. Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content • Emphasizing conceptual understanding – Many a time, our teaching is devoted only to memorization of isolated facts for purposes of examinations and grade. When we teach facts only, the tendency is we are able to cover more for your students to commit to memory and for you to cover in a test but our teaching ends up skin-deep or superficial, thus meaningless. If we emphasize conceptual understanding, the emphasis goes beyond facts. We integrate and correlate facts, concepts, and values in a meaningful manner.
  • 17. Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content The many facts become integrated into a less number of concepts, yet more meaningful and consequently easier to recall. When we stress on conceptual teaching, we are occupied with less, but we are able to teach more substantially. It is a case of "less is more!" This is precisely the emphasis of the Basic Education Curriculum.
  • 18. Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content Example: What Do Mommies Do? -responsibility -love of family -cooking -nutrition -health -measurement -recreation and play
  • 19. Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content Here are some specific strategies that can help you develop conceptual understanding in your students: (Ormrod, 2000)  Organize units around a few core ideas and themes. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
  • 20. Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content  Explore each topic in depth – for example, by considering many examples, examining cause-effect relationships, and discovering how specific details relate to more general principles.
  • 21. Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content  Explain how new ideas relate to students' own experiences and to things they have previously learned. Computers in Health Care
  • 22. Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content  Show students – through the things we say, the assignments we give, and the criteria we use to evaluate learning – that conceptual understanding of subject matter is far more important than knowledge of isolated facts.
  • 23. Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content  Ask students to teach to others what they have learned – a task that encourages them to focus on main ideas and pull them together in a way that makes sense.
  • 24. Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content  Promoting dialogue – when we encourage our students to talk about what they learn, they are given the opportunity to reflect, elaborate on, clarify further and master what they have learned.
  • 25. Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content  Using authentic activities – incorporate your lessons into "real world" activities. Instead of simply asking students to work on some items on subtraction, simulate a "sari-sari" store and apply subtraction skills.
  • 26. Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content 3. Subject matter content is an integration of cognitive, skill, and affective elements. While our subject matter content comes in three domains, these three domains should not be treated as though there was a clear dividing line among them. When our point of emphasis is the cognitive aspect, it does not mean that we exclude skills. In the first place, our teaching of facts, concepts, principles, theories and laws necessitate the skill of seeing the relationships among these in order to see meaning.
  • 27. Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content Likewise, when our subject matter is focused on the thinking and manipulative skills, our lesson content also has cognitive content. More so with the teaching of values, for values have definitely a cognitive basis. If the values taught are imbibed by the students, these are expressed in their daily behavior (skill). The cognitive lesson may be used as a vehicle in the teaching of skills and values.
  • 28. Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content In short, subject matter content is an integration of facts, concepts, principles, hypothesis, theories, and laws, thinking skills, manipulative skills, values and attitudes.
  • 29. Guiding Principles in the Selection and Organization of Content The Structure of Subject Matter Content Our subject matter content includes cognitive, skill, and affective components. The cognitive component is concerned with facts, concepts, principles, hypothesis, theories, and laws. The skill component refers to thinking skills as well as manipulative skills while the affective component is the realm of values and attitudes.
  • 30. The Structure of Subject Matter Content Cognitive (Ormrod, 2000) • Fact – an idea or action that can be verified Example: Names and dates of important activities, population of the Philippines.
  • 31.
  • 32. The Structure of Subject Matter Content Facts are the basic unit of cognitive subject matter content. From facts, we go higher to concepts, principles, hypotheses, theories and laws. It is, therefore, necessary that the facts that we begin with are updated and accurate. • Concept – a categorization of events, places, people, ideas Example: The concept furniture includes objects as chairs, tables, beds, and desks. (see next slide)
  • 33.
  • 34. Example: The concept swim encompasses different actions like breast stroke, crawl, and butterfly that involve propelling oneself through water.
  • 35. The Structure of Subject Matter Content • Principle – relationship(s) between and among facts and concepts. These are arrived at when similar research studies yield similar results time after time. Example: The number of children in the family is related to the average scores on nationally standardized achievement tests for those children.
  • 36. Findings: Since, as we shall see, there are marked negative effects on IQ of increasing sibling size, it is possible that IQ, as well as the dilution of material resources among many children, affects the drop-out rates among those from large families. Thus, we find that large families have been a continuing drag on the society's effort to provide openness in graded schooling, and an increasing drag on our ability to provide equal opportunity at the college level. http://www.escholarship.org/editions/view? docId=ft6489p0rr&chunk.id=d0e1227&toc.depth=1&toc.id=d0e1227&brand=eschol
  • 37. The Structure of Subject Matter Content • Hypothesis – educated guesses about relationships (principles) Example: For lower division undergraduate students, study habits is a better predictor of success in a college course than is a measure of intelligence or reading comprehension. Hard work and determination are more important than test scores. OR http://newsroom.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/display.cgi?id=1329
  • 38. The Structure of Subject Matter Content • Theories – set of facts, concepts and principles that describe possible underlying unobservable mechanisms that regulate human learning, development, and behavior. They explain why these principles are true. Examples: Piaget's theory on cognitive development (see slide), Kohlberg's theory on moral development. Piaget Kohlberg
  • 39. Piaget's Theory on Cognitive Development
  • 40. Piaget’s Cognitive Development applied in learning
  • 41. Example: Piaget's Theory on Cognitive Development Use of visual aids in learning.
  • 42.
  • 43. The Structure of Subject Matter Content Learners seem to acquire general belief system – personal theories – about how the world operates. By the time they go to school, children have their own personal theories about things and happenings in the world. These personal beliefs may not necessarily be accurate beliefs. Even the author of this book thought that every time she swallowed a santol seed, the seed would germinate in her stomach and its branches and leaves would grow out of her ears, nose and mouth. Therefore, much is demanded of you as a teacher in order to promote effective construction of knowledge and eliminate misconceptions.
  • 44. The Structure of Subject Matter Content • Laws – firmly established, thoroughly tested principle or theory. Examples: Thorndike's law of effect, law on the conservation of matter and energy, the law of supply and demand. Law of Effect: Responses followed by a satisfying state of affairs (trial and error) were gradually stamped in (developed) as habits; responses followed by an annoying state of affairs were gradually stamped out as habits (eliminated from the animal's behavioral repertoire). Thorndike
  • 45. Law on the Conservation of Matter and Energy http://www.icr.org/law-conservation/ One of most basic laws of science is the Law of the Conservation of Energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be changed from one form to another. Energy is not currently being created. The universe could not have created itself using natural processes because nature did not exist before the universe came into existence. Something beyond nature must have created all the energy and matter that is observed today. Present measures of energy are immeasurably enormous, indicating a power source so great that "infinite" is the best word we have to describe it. The logical conclusion is that our supernatural Creator with infinite power created the universe. There is no energy source capable to originate what we observe today.
  • 46. The Law of Supply and Demand
  • 47. The Structure of Subject Matter Content Skills • Thinking Skills – These refer to the skills beyond the recall and comprehension. They are skills concerned with the application of what was learned, (in problem- solving or in real life) synthesis, evaluation and critical and creative thinking.
  • 48.  Divergent thinking – this includes fluent thinking, original thinking, flexible thinking, and elaborative thinking:
  • 49. The Structure of Subject Matter Content fluent thinking – is characterized by the generation of lots of ideas. Thought flow is rapid. It is thinking of the most possible ideas.
  • 50. The Structure of Subject Matter Content flexible thinking – is characterized by a variety of thoughts in the kinds of ideas generated. Different ideas from those usually presented flow from flexible thinkers. Unscrambling the letters
  • 51. The Structure of Subject Matter Content original thinking – is thinking that differs from what's gone before. Thought production is away from the obvious and is different from the norm.
  • 52. The Structure of Subject Matter Content elaborative thinking – embellishes on previous ideas or plans. (Torres, 1994) It uses prior knowledge to expand and add upon things and ideas.
  • 53. The Structure of Subject Matter Content Convergent thinking – it is narrowing down from many possible thoughts to end up on a single best thought or an answer to a problem.
  • 54. The Structure of Subject Matter Content  Problem solving – it is made easier when the problem is well-defined. "The proper definition of a problem is already half the solution." It is doubly difficult when the problem is ill-defined. When it is ill-defined, then the first thing to teach our students is to better define the problem. Here are some techniques (Ormrod, 2000): - Break large problems into well-defined ones - Distinguish information needed - Identify techniques to find needed information
  • 55.
  • 56. The Structure of Subject Matter Content Problems can be solved by using an algorithm or a heuristic strategy. Solving a problem by the use of an algorithm means following specific, step-by-step instructions. An example is when you assemble the dismantled parts of a new toy by following the "how to assemble" instructions. Fortunately or unfortunately, not all problems are solved by the use of algorithms. When there is no algorithm for solving a problem, we use heuristics, general problem-solving strategy, for a solution. These are informal, intuitive, speculative strategies that sometimes lead to an effective solution and sometimes do not.
  • 57. The Structure of Subject Matter Content How can we help our students acquire effective problem-solving strategies? Ormrod (2000) cites a number situations in which they can be used. - Provide worked-out examples of algorithms being applied. - Help students understand why particular algorithms are relevant and effective in certain situations. - When a student's application of algorithm yields an incorrect answer, look closely at the specific steps the student has taken until the trouble spot is located.
  • 59. Example of Heuristics -- levels of influence, contexts, concepts, constituents and dimensions
  • 60. The Structure of Subject Matter Content For teaching heuristics: - Give students practice in defining ill-defined problems. - Teach heuristics that students can use where no algorithms apply. For teaching both algorithm and heuristics – Teach problem-solving strategies within the context of specific subject areas (not as a topic separate from academic content) – Provide scaffolding for difficult problems – for example by breaking them into smaller and simpler problem, giving hints about possible strategies, or providing partial solutions.
  • 61. The Structure of Subject Matter Content Have students solve problems in small groups, sharing ideas about problem-solving strategies, modelling various approaches for one another, and discussing the merits of each approach. Problem solving involves both divergent and convergent thinking. Divergent thinking enables you to generate a diverse assortment of possible solutions to a problem. From the diverse possible solutions, you arrive at the best possible answer.
  • 62. The Structure of Subject Matter Content  Metaphoric thinking – This type of thinking uses analogic thinking, a figure of speech where a word is used in a manner different from its ordinary designation to suggest or imply a parallelism or similarity. Example: Teaching is lighting a candle. The learner's mind is a "blank slate." This may also be called analogic thinking.
  • 63. An analogy is simply a comparison between two objects or concepts. Example: A plane flies like a bird.
  • 64. The Structure of Subject Matter Content  Critical thinking - It involves evaluating information or arguments in terms of their accuracy and worth. (Beyer, 1985) It takes a variety of forms – verbal reasoning, argument analysis, hypothesis testing, and decision making.
  • 65. The Structure of Subject Matter Content Verbal reasoning – an example is evaluating the persuasive techniques found in oral or written language. You employ this when you evaluate the reliability and the truth of advertisements that bombard you everyday. Synonyms Distil means the same as A. strengthen B. weaken C. purify D. blend Answer: C. purify Antonyms Cheerful is the opposite of A. cool B. pessimistic C. happy D. blithe Answer: B. pessimistic Missing word tests The columnist knew that the events that ________ yesterday ________ decisive. A. occur&was B. unfolded&was C. unfolded&were D. occurred&was E. none of the above
  • 66. The Structure of Subject Matter Content Argument analysis – You are engaged in this critical thinking process when you discriminate between reasons that do and do not support a particular conclusion. Example: The ground is wet so it must have rained last night. When you analyse the given argument and determine whether or not the reason, "it must have rained last night" logically support or does not logically support the argument.
  • 67. The Structure of Subject Matter Content Hypothesis testing – It is evaluating the value of data and research results in terms of the methods used to obtain them and their potential relevance to particular conclusions. A question you will ask when you are engaged in critical thinking as you are engaged in hypothesis testing is: Did I make use of an appropriate method to measure a particular outcome?
  • 68. The Structure of Subject Matter Content Decision making – we are engaged in critical thinking when we weigh the pros and cons of each proposed alternative approach.
  • 69. The Structure of Subject Matter Content  Creative thinking - This type of thinking involves "producing something that is both original and worthwhile. (Sternberg, 2003) It is original thinking, one type of divergent thinking. It is the process of bringing something new into birth. It is seeing new relationships and the use of imagination and inventiveness.
  • 70. The Structure of Subject Matter Content What creative thinking behaviors should be developed? Awareness – The ability to notice the attributes of things in the environment so as to build a knowledge base that is the beginning of all other forms of creative thinking. A portrayal of Awareness
  • 71. The Structure of Subject Matter Content Curiosity – The ability and inclination to wonder about things and mentally explore the new, novel, unique ideas.
  • 72. The Structure of Subject Matter Content Imagination – The ability to speculate about things that are not necessarily based on reality.
  • 73. The Structure of Subject Matter Content Fluency – The ability to produce a large quantity of ideas.
  • 74. The Structure of Subject Matter Content Flexibility – The ability to look at things from several different perspectives or view points. The Internet today
  • 75. The Structure of Subject Matter Content Originality – The ability to produce new, novel, unique ideas.
  • 76. The Structure of Subject Matter Content Elaboration – the ability to add on to an idea; to give details; build groups of related ideas or expand on ideas. (see example on next slide)
  • 77.
  • 78. The Structure of Subject Matter Content Perseverance - The ability to keep trying to find an answer; to see a task through completion.
  • 79. The Structure of Subject Matter Content • Manipulative Skills – There are courses that are dominantly skill-oriented like Computer, Home Economics and Technology, Physical Education, Music and the like. In the biological and physical sciences manipulative skills such as focusing the microscope, mounting specimens on the slide, operating simple machines and other scientific gadgets, mixing chemicals are also taught.
  • 80. The Structure of Subject Matter Content The learning of these manipulative skills begin with naive manipulation and ends up in expert and precise manipulation.
  • 81. The Structure of Subject Matter Content Interactive attitudes and values In the three-level approach to teaching, values are at the apex of the triangle. It is because it is in the teaching of values that the teaching of facts, skills and concepts become connected to the life of the students, thus acquiring meaning. Without the value- level of teaching, we contribute to the development of persons who have big heads but tiny hearts. We contribute to the formation of "intellectual giants" but emotional dwarfs.
  • 82. The Structure of Subject Matter Content Shall we teach values? Can values be taught? Many say "NO," rather values are caught. The author, however, would dare say "YES!" Values are taught and caught! Due to the belief that values cannot be taught, many teachers relegate values in the background. Values can be taught, because like any subject matter, they too have a cognitive dimension, in addition to the affective and behavioral dimension. (Aquino, 1990)
  • 83. The Structure of Subject Matter Content The cognitive dimension – When we teach the value of honesty we ask the following questions: What is meant by honesty? Why do I have to be honest? The affective dimension – You have to feel something towards honesty. You have to be moved towards honesty as preferable to dishonesty. The behavioral dimension – You lead an honest life.
  • 84. The Structure of Subject Matter Content How can we teach values?  By deutero-learning – Your student learns by being exposed to the situation, by acquainting himself with a setting, by following models, pursuing inspirations and copying behavior. YOUR CRITICAL ROLE AS MODELS IN AND OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM CANNOT BE OVEREMPHASIZED.  By positively reinforcing good behavior.  By teaching the cognitive component of values in the classroom.
  • 85. The Department of Education Culture and Sports (DECS) provides and promotes values education at all three levels of the educational system for the development of the human person committed to the building "of a just and humane society" and an independent and democratic nation. Reference: http://valueseducation.net/
  • 86. THE VALUES EDUCATION PROGRAM Values Education as a part of the school curriculum is the process by which values are formed in the learner under the guidance of the teacher and as he interacts with this environment. But it involves not just any kind of teaching-learning process. First of all, the subject matter itself, values, has direct and immediate relevance to the personal life of the learner. Second, the process is not just cognitive but involves all the faculties of the learner. The teacher must appeal not only to the mind but the hearts as well, in fact, the total human person. Reference: http://valueseducation.net/
  • 87. THE VALUES EDUCATION PROGRAM Third, one learns values the way children learn many things from their parents. Children identify with parents, and this identification becomes the vehicle for the transmission of learning, be it language or the values of thrift and hard work. Hence, the teacher’s personal values play an important role in values learning.
  • 88. THE VALUES EDUCATION PROGRAM Maximiliano Rebollo, O.P. Moral Education in the School (2000): The term moral education signifies the development of man in his operational aspect, tendencies, affections, conduct. Some refer to moral education as the education of the will. Moral education aims to develop in man a firm conviction of the worthiness of moral behavior, a sense of moral responsibility. It aims to bring man’s act to perfection by the acquisition of the art of living known as virtue. The objective of moral education is to make the will embrace the good proposed by right reason. Moral education adjusts human conduct to the fundamental principle of morality – the good is to be done, while evil is to be avoided.
