You wouldn’t start building a house without a blueprint, a sculpture without a sketch, or a company without a mission statement. So, there should be no content creation without a plan-Design. Otherwise, you risk getting derailed from your objective.
Sequence and Linkages
Consider this Outcome: Learner will be able to perform Kathak pirouettes.
One Learning Objective for this is: Learner will be able to successfully demonstrate the 3,5 and 8 step pirouettes.
Now let us watch this short video:
Reflect: What will happen if the instructor does not take the learner through the steps mentioned in this video and directly asks the learner to do the 8 step pirouettes?
What is Sequencing?
Sequencing refers to the order in which objectives for a given outcome are taught. There are three types of instructional sequences:
1) Developmental Sequence which is an agreed-on order in which children acquire skills. For example, an infant’s motor development sequence progresses from sitting with support to crawling and then walking. This sequence is universal in nature.
2) Some skills lay the foundation for children to learn other skills, resulting in pedagogical sequences. For example, rhyming is often taught as a foundational skill for learning early literacy skills. Another example includes knowing about parts of a plant before moving onto the concept of Photosynthesis.
3) Teachers select skills based on what makes the most sense to teach a child at a given time, it is a logical sequence. For example, if a child does not have a functional way to express his or her wants and needs, then that skill might be taught before other skills.
