I. Leaning Outcomes

At the end of the discussion, students should be able to:

1. Identify the steps of the ASSURE Model,

2. Understand the significance of the function of the model to teaching and learning, and

3. Apply the model to the classroom setting.

II. Discussion
ASSURE: Instructional Design Model

ASSURE is an instructional design model that has the goal of producing more effective teaching and
learning. “ASSURE” is an acronym that stands for the various steps in the model. The following is a
breakdown of each step.

A – Analyze Learners

The first step in the process is that the teacher should analyze the attributes of her learners. The analysis
of your learners should include:
  The general attributes of your learners, such as age, academic abilities, gender, interests, etc.
 Prior competencies
 Learning styles, such as auditory, visual, and tactile

S – State Standards and Objectives

After the analysis of the learner attributes, the teacher must state standards and objectives for the learning
module.

The mark of a good set of learning objectives is conformity to the ABCDs of well-stated learning
objectives. They are as follows:

 Audience – For whom is the objective intended?

 Behavior – What is the behavior or performance to be demonstrated?
 Conditions – What are the conditions under which the behavior or performance will be observed?
 Degree – To what degree will the knowledge or skill be mastered?

S – Select Strategies, Technology, Media, and Materials

Pick instructional strategies, technology, and media that will bring about the results that you want.

U – Utilize Technology, Media, and Materials

This step in the ASSURE model's process concerns making a plan as to how you will utilize the
technology, media, and materials that you have selected.

It’s important to follow the “five p’s” process to achieve this:

 Preview the Technology, Media, and Materials

 Prepare the Technology, Media, and Materials
 Prepare the Environment
 Prepare the Learners
 Provide the Learning Experience
R – Require Learner Participation

It requires that you make plans to how you are going to actively engage your students.

E – Evaluate and Revise

In this step, you evaluate the impact of your teaching on student learning. This includes an evaluation of
your teaching strategies and the technology, media, and materials that you used. The following questions
are useful to ask during this evaluation:

 Did your lesson meet the learning objectives that you planned? How will you determine whether
the students reach the objectives? Is your way of assessing the students in line with your learning
objectives?
 Can this lesson be improved? How? How are you going to assess the weaknesses in your
presentation?
 Was your choice of media and materials a good one? How will you assess the effectiveness of
these tools?
 Is it possible that other technologies, media, and materials would have done a better job?
 The final step in your evaluation should focus on feedback from your students. Was their
experience positive overall? Do they feel that they have reached your objectives and their own
personal objectives? How will you determine whether your performance was effective?

Conclusion

The ASSURE Model is just a process created. However, it is good to follow a regimented guide
to improve teaching technique. Any effective teacher knows that the perfection of their technique does not
come overnight and there is always room for improvement. By following the ASSURE process, you will
be sure to improve your teaching for many years to come.

At the end of the discussion the student should be able to:

1. Identify the 21st Century Skills.

2. Understand the importance of the 21st Century Skills.

What Are 21st Century Skills?

21st Century skills are 12 abilities that today’s students need to succeed in their careers during the
Information Age.

21st Century skills are:

1. Critical thinking
2. Creativity
3. Collaboration
4. Communication

6. Media literacy
7. Technology literacy
8. Flexibility
9. Leadership
10. Initiative
11. Productivity
12. Social skills

These skills are intended to help students keep up with the lightning-pace of today’s modern markets.
Each skill is unique in how it helps students, but they all have one quality in common.

The Three 21st Century Skill Categories

1. Learning skills

Learning skills (the four C’s) teaches students about the mental processes required to adapt and improve
upon a modern work environment.
2. Literacy skills

Literacy skills (IMT) focuses on how students can discern facts, publishing outlets, and the technology
behind them. There’s a strong focus on determining trustworthy sources and information to separate it
from the misinformation that floods the Internet.

3. Life skills.

Life skills (FLIPS) looks at intangible elements of a student’s everyday life. These intangibles focus on
both personal and professional qualities.

Category 1. Learning Skills (The Four C’s)

1. Critical thinking: Finding solutions to problems replaces them with fruitful endeavors.

2. Creativity: Thinking outside the box

3. Collaboration: Working with others to work together, achieve compromises, and get the best possible
results from solving a problem.

4. Communication: Talking to others. effectively way of conveying ideas

Category 2. Literacy Skills (IMT)

1. Information literacy: Understanding facts, figures, statistics, and data

2. Media literacy: practice of identifying publishing methods, outlets, and sources while distinguishing
between the ones that are credible and the ones that aren’t.

3.Technology literacy: Understanding the machines that make the Information Age possible.

Category 3. Life Skills (FLIPS)

1. Flexibility: Deviating from plans as needed

-Expression of someone’s ability to adapt in changing circumstances

2. Leadership: Motivating a team to accomplish a goal

-Someone’s penchant for setting goals, walking a team through the steps required, and achieving those

Conclusion

The students should be to acquire the 21st Century Skills. With the 21st Century Skills, the student
will have the adaptive qualities they need to keep up with the world that’s constantly evolving.

TRIVIA

1. Create a "Godmode" folder to access every process and setting on your PC.

Create a new folder anywhere on your PC and rename it with " GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-
825C-99712043E01C} " without the double quotations, and the folder will allow you to access every
setting and process that you would possibly need within that one directory. Might sound complex, but it's
a great shortcut once you get it done
