Three Types of Lessons

The Development LessonThe Review LessonThe Drill Lesson

The Development Lesson

Nature-Is one in which something new is presented or

developed-It may be a fact, a principle, a skill, a generalization, or

some knowledge.-It must not be something the class did not know

before.-It is applied to a direct learning procedure, under the

directions of the teacher, in which students participate step by step.


Formal• Time-tested method

(inductive, deductive, problem solving)

Informal• Socratic method (question

and answer portion)• Developmental method

(step by step process)


Steps1. Preparation- consists of the cognitive and

motivational aspects. 2. Presentation of Development- the teacher

directs children’s learning by means of questions and teaching aids, leading the class to examine, analyze, compare, contrast, generalize, observe, judge or discover something.


Stages3. Application- the test where of whether the

pupils have really learned or not.

Conditions Necessary to a good Development lessons:

• The teacher’s mastery of the subject matter• Recall of past experiences or information that

have a bearing on the new lesson• The teacher’s clear awareness of what is to be

perceived, presented, or developed.

The Developmental LessonAdvantages

• The rule that what is taught is better understood and mastered because the meanings are experienced;

• Learning is facilitated because it is done step by step;

• Satisfaction results because the children feels they are doing things independently; and

• Ability to think for oneself and skill in attacking and solving problems; self- confidence

Disadvantages• When a rule may be easily

understood by reading, the use of method would be a waste of time;

• It is not suitable for one subjects, activities, etc.

• The child may become more dependent on the teacher.

The Review Lesson

Nature-aims to renew the study of the same subject

matter or to recall what has been taken up in the past and view this again from a different perspective or point of view.

The Review Lesson

Purposes of the Review1. Retention of material learned2. Organization of materials and experiences into

large wholes3. Development of ability to evaluate material4. Supplementation of materials and experiences5. Foundation for further learning6. Diagnosis of pupil weakness

The Review Lesson

7. Diagnosis of teacher weakness8. Development of interest in old material9. Stimulation of original thinking and

creativeness10. Tracing the core or main thought throughout

a unit.11. Reorganization of previously organized

information into a new pattern.

The Review Lesson

Types of Review• The short prelesson daily review for3-5

minutes. – this can provide the apperceptive basis for the new lesson.

• The postlesson unit review.- takes a whole period review.

• Extensive large unit review.- take place into the end of the semester or school year.

The Review Lesson

Techniques of Review• Time of review- no definite time of review; given

when necessary; given before the test to prepare the students.

• Length of the review- no limit time of the review; • Preparation for review-it should be as prepared as

any lesson; always have a necessary step; the teacher should plan it well.

The Review Lesson

Principles of a Review Lesson• The review must be of value to the learner- the

children should know the purpose of the review.

• The review should be interesting- no repetitions• The should follow the psychological principles

of learning.- the learner should be aware of how he is progressing.

The Review Lesson

Conditions for a Good Review1. Previous lessons must have been studied.2. Too much should not be covered in one lesson.3. The teacher should have mastery of the subject.4. The teacher should lead the children to organize

the subject into large units5. The teacher should help the children outline

summary so that the children may see value of the parts.

The Drill Lesson

Nature and Purpose-is for automatization of certain facts, habits or

skills.-Aim to fix associations for permanency or to

perfect a skill.-Needed for mastery; all subjects need a little

amount of drill.

The Drill Lesson

Nature and Purpose drills are necessary:1. Mastery of multiplication table2. Correct spelling and grammar; remembering

historical dates3. Training in motor skills( handwriting,

typewriting, shorthand,shopwork)

The Drill Lesson

Material for Drill-takes up the same material until it is mastered.-The same activity is practiced until it is

automatic.-more often used in form subjects rather than in

content subjects. ( science and social studies)

The Drill Lesson

Drill Procedure1. Motivation – is necessary to arouse pupils to

maximum and sustained effort.2. Focalization- requires concentration and so

children’s attention should be focused on the specific facts etc.

The Drill Lesson

3. Repetition with attention- “mere repetition will not result in learning unless accompanied by attention.

4. Application- the pupil must be able to apply what he/she has learned.

The Drill Lesson

Principle of Drill1.Utilization of the principles of learning-pupils

should be ready in the drill. (reward and praise may be used to improve performance)

2. Way of conducting drill- it should be systematic way- fast, precise, uniterrupted by discussion, dynamic, alert, enthusiastic (be hurry)

The Drill Lesson

3. Standards- attainable standards should be set-up ( accuracy, speed, quality, and quantity)

4. Individualization- divide the class into the children’s weaknesses and together the teacher will teach the same thing.

The Drill Lesson

Outcomes of DrillDrill results in establishing habits, skills, and

route associations. Habits are automatic responses. Developing the habit into a skill is what the teacher aims.
