They must be aligned with the intended learning outcomes.
They must be entertaining, even if not educational.
They must be created by the teacher from scratch.

Learning is a cooperative process.
Learning should be active.
Effective learning starts with clear expectations.
Learning is the discovery of personal meaning.
A teacher is frustrated that a few students dominate group discussions, decides to ban all group work. This decision contradicts the learning principle that:
Learning can be a cooperative and collaborative process.
Learning is an active process.
Learning begins with clear outcomes.
Learning involves discovering personal meaning.

Learning is the discovery of the personal meaning of ideas.

For learning to be truly meaningful, it is best to connect the lesson to students' lives by integrating a relevant value. This principle suggests that lesson objectives should:
Focus only on the cognitive domain.
Be kept secret from the students.
Integrate cognitive, affective, and/or skill domains.
Be written by the students themselves.
Consider the objective: "At the end of the lesson 90% of the student will appreciate the importance of recycling." Is this a well-written, SMART objective?
Yes, because it is specific and measurable.
No, because "appreciate" is a non-behavioral term that is difficult to measure.
Yes, because it falls into the affective domain.
No, because it is too easy for students to achieve.
A teacher demonstrates how to solve a multi-step algebraic equation, then provides guided practice for the class. The act of demonstrating the solution is a form of:

Yes, students learn best by simple imitation.
No, students also need to understand the underlying principles and structure (declarative and procedural knowledge).
Yes, explaining the theory would only confuse them.
No, but they should learn the theory on their own time.
For whole and meaningful learning to occur, lesson planning must often:
Focus exclusively on one domain of learning at a time.
Integrate activities that address different domains of learning.
Prioritize information delivery over skill development.
Ensure the affective domain is always the primary focus.

The students were not told the learning outcomes, so they didn't know the purpose of the activity

Sharing outcomes with students
A teacher’s stated objective was for students to be able to write a persuasive paragraph. The teacher then spent the entire period drilling students on identifying adverbs in sentences. Did the lesson development align with the objective?
Yes, because adverbs are used in sentences
No, the activity (identifying adverbs) did not directly align with the stated outcome (writing a persuasive paragraph)
A little, because grammar is important for writing
Yes, because the drill was challenging for the students
When a teacher starts with a broad principle (e.g., the law of supply and demand) and then moves to specific examples, which method is being used?
Inductive
Deductive
Direct
