Pedagogical Approach & Learning Outcomes
Pedagogical Approach
The lesson was designed with a multimodal approach and combined relevant aspects of several learning theories and frameworks. I developed this course using College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies State Standards, Cognitivism, Bloom's Taxonomy, and Gagne's Nine Events of Instruction. I also acknowledge that students have different learning preferences, and I aim to teach to the students' strengths by relying on a variety of pedagogical techniques, delivery approaches, and media. Furthermore, this plan aligns with Gagne's Nine Events of Instruction. Finally, I referred to the ASSURE Instructional Design model to design this course.I embedded discussion questions and collaborative projects based on the "community of inquiry" model for online learning environments. The Community of Inquiry model emphasizes the cognitive, social, and teaching aspects of learning. I structured this lesson to meet the social, emotional, and cognitive needs of student learning.
