Reflection Paper – Gagne’s Conditioning Application

          Last September 5, 7, 10, and 12, 2012, we continue our discussion on Gagne’s theory and we divide the whole class into groups to make a lesson plan out of Gagne’s theory, and assigned one member to discuss the said lesson plan. Each group has specific objectives given and presents it to the class with instructional materials. Topics that presented were – Parts of the Speech which is adjective (English). My observation was, the lesson presented (Adjective) is not suitable for the learning capacity of grade 2 pupils, maybe the reporter must study further of her topic in order to comprehend the pupils with correct usage of adjective. Next topic discuss is amphibians (Science), the presentation is not quiet good because she is not express her idea about the topic which is amphibians. Another two topics presented are addition and colours and shapes; the reporter prepared instructional materials which is attractive and comprehensive to the learner. Last topic is reading alphabets AB & C, the reporter prepared a motivation by singing alphabets rhyme. He prepare letters from A, B & C for his demonstration and let the pupils read with corresponding word out from letter A which is (Apple), letter B which is (Banana), and letter C which is (Carrot). He brought an actual illustration out these 3 words.

          I realized during that period of actual discussion, the teachers must prepare well; the instructional materials, study, and read the topics carefully. In order to captured the attention of the pupils during the actual presentation. All the teaching methods must be applied. According to Gagne’s theory, enhancing retention and transfer of learning must applying in real-life situations is a step towards mastery and learning

          I will be creative in my own ways to enhance the learning structures of my pupil. I will be more reflective in my discussion. The values of patience and perseverance must also be developing towards dealing with the children.
