PRINCIPLE OF CONTEXT
Flemming (1996)
as cited by Acero et al. (2007)
A collection of data is not information.
A collection of information is not knowledge. A collection of knowledge is not wisdom.
A collection of wisdom is not truth.
• Information relates to description, definition, or perspective (what, who, when, where)
• Knowledge comprises strategy, practice, method, or approach (how)
• Wisdom embodies principle, insight, moral or archetype (why)
Principles of context mean that
instruction can be effective if learning
takes place through situation and
circumstances that provide setting
materials for the process of learning
to go on.
Principle of Context are Categorized into Six Levels
Level 1
Context consists of the textbook only • Predominantly verbal
• No problem-solving experience • Lacks dynamic appeal
• Limited verbal responses to verbal stimuli
Level 2
Context consists of textbook together with a collateral/supplemental material
• Wider context
• More readings of expository
• Advocates more extensive reading
Level 3
Context consists of non-academic and current materials (magazine articles, newspaper clippings)
• Concrete, specific, actual, and immediate • Reality vs. theories
• Leads to extensive discussion
Level 4
Context consists of multi-sensory aids • Effective when used as aid in learning • Related to contemplated learning
• Ineffective if learner is passive
Level 5
Context consists of demonstration and presentation by the experts
• Concrete setting
• Learning beyond classroom setting
Level 6
Field experiences: personal, social, community understanding
• Concrete, abundant, dynamic, readily apprehended setting for learning
• Goes beyond verbalization
• Concrete and firsthand experiences
PRINCIPLE OF FOCUS
Level 1
Focus established by page assignment in textbook
• Uniform structure
• Learning without unity • memorization
Level 2
Focus established by announced topic
together with page or chapter references • Insight and understanding
• Varied learning pattern
Level 3
Focus established by broad concepts to be comprehended or problem to be solved
• Directed at the mental processes of the learner
• More varied learning patterns
Level 4
Focus established as a concept or a problem to be solved, a skill to be acquired to carry an undertaking • Flexibility
• Acquisition of more facts and information
PRINCIPLE OF
SOCIALIZATION
Level 1 – Social pattern
characterized by submission
• Rudimentary level of socialization • No group function
• Teacher-controlled
Level 2 – Social pattern
characterized by contribution
• Sympathetic and positive discipline • Freedom
• Lacks authority
Level 3 – Social pattern
characterized by cooperation
• Goes beyond friendliness and sympathy • Teacher as an organizer
• Positive team spirit
PRINCIPLE OF
INDIVIDUALIZATION
Scales of Application
1. Individualization through different performance in uniform
2. Individualization through homogenous grouping
3. Individualization through contract plan
Scales of Application
4. Individualization through individual instruction
5. Individualization through large units with optional-related activity
6. Individualization through individual undertakings, stemming from and
contributing to the joint undertaking of the group of learners
PRINCIPLE OF SEQUENCE
Scales of Application
1. Sequence through logical succession of blocks of content (lesson and course)
2. Sequence through knitting learning/ lesson/ course together by introductions, previews, pretests, reviews
3. Sequence organized in terms of readiness
4. Sequence organized in terms of lines emerging meanings
Scale 1
Learning sequence can pass through the following stages:
1.Define the principle.
2.Define the principle within models. 3.Generate the principle.
4.Receive feedback.
5.Define principle or practice.
Scale 2
Knotting learning of a particular lesson by 1.Supplementing discussion
2.Studies
3.Analysis of lesson 4.By introductions
5.Reviews related to the lesson at hand
Scale 3
PRINCIPLE OF EVALUATION
Types of Evaluation
1. Diagnostic Evaluation
– Done at the beginning of the unit or course to determine the
different levels where students can be grouped whether:
a. Slow
b. Average c. Fast
Types of Evaluation
2. Formative Evaluation
– The phase of evaluation where what the teacher does in the course of his teaching and what he is to do next are given focus.
– Example: a short test after the lesson proper
Types of Evaluation
3. Summative Evaluation
– This phase of evaluation calls for “summing up” all pertinent data related to the
performance of the individual learners.
