1.Identify and discuss teaching requirements that you need to be conversant with to
plan your instruction effectively. [12]
To plan instruction effectively, teachers need to be conversant with various teaching
requirements, including:
a) Curriculum Standards: Familiarize yourself with the curriculum standards or
frameworks provided by the education department or school district. These standards
outline the learning objectives, content, and skills that students are expected to achieve.
b) Learner Needs: Understand the diverse needs, abilities, and learning styles of your
students. This includes knowledge of their prior knowledge, cultural backgrounds, and
individual strengths and challenges.
c) Learning Outcomes: Clearly define the desired learning outcomes for each lesson or
unit. This involves identifying what students should know, understand, and be able to do
by the end of the instruction.
d) Instructional Strategies: Utilize a range of effective instructional strategies to meet the
learning needs of students. This may include direct instruction, inquiry-based learning,
cooperative learning, and the integration of technology.
e) Assessment Methods: Select appropriate assessment methods to evaluate student
learning and progress. This may involve formative assessments, such as quizzes or
observations, and summative assessments, such as tests or projects.
f) Differentiation: Differentiate instruction to cater to the diverse needs of students. This
involves adapting teaching methods, resources, and assessments to support learners at
different levels.
By being conversant with these teaching requirements, teachers can effectively plan
instruction that aligns with curriculum standards, meets the needs of diverse learners,
and promotes student achievement. (Reference: Tomlinson, C. A. (2017). How to
Differentiate Instruction in Academically Diverse Classrooms.)
2.Choose THREE (3) media that can be used for the instruction of Accounting within
your own context. With each medium, identify the advantage, disadvantage, and how
you would overcome the disadvantage. [10]
In the context of teaching Accounting, three media that can be utilized are textbooks,
multimedia presentations, and case studies.
a) Textbooks: Advantage: Textbooks provide comprehensive and structured content,
serving as a valuable reference for students. Disadvantage: Textbooks may sometimes
present complex concepts in a dry and static manner, lacking interactivity. Overcoming
the disadvantage: To overcome this limitation, teachers can supplement textbook
readings with interactive activities, discussions, and hands-on exercises that actively
engage students.
