Task 4 – Instructional Planning

This task asks you to identify the formative and summative assessment strategies used during a week. As part of this task, you are
required to implement a new formative assessment strategy, provide evidence of implementation and reflect on the impact.

What are the components of a learning outcome/instructional objective?

Learning outcomes are what the learners will be able to do as a result of learning lesson. There are three main components that learning outcomes should
include to ensure that the participant or the students achieve the lesson’s aims. Firstly, performance which is the meaning of imagining what the learners
will be result at the end of the lesson. Secondly, condition which refer to specific areas where the learners will perform. Finally, the criteria which indicates
the qualities that the learners will acquire during the learning process. However, instructional objective identifies specifically what the child will learn,
how and when. There are three components that instructional objectives deal with in the lesson. Firstly, cognitive objectives which talks about the
knowledge. Secondly, behaviour objectives which deal with the attitude and how far the students accept and follow the rules. Finally, the psychomotor
objective which focus on the skills and how the students can demonstrate their abilities to learn (Harden, (2002).
