Study Notes

Learning Retention Rates

Retention rates vary significantly based on the method of learning used.
10% is retained from reading materials.
Listening yields a 20% retention rate.
Visual experiences contribute 30% retention.
Combining hearing and seeing increases retention to 50%.
Active participation in speaking leads to a 70% retention rate.
Engaging in both speaking and doing results in the highest retention of 90%.

Guidelines for Instructional Support Materials

Direct Purposeful Experience: Engaging in hands-on learning, such as field trips or practice teaching, leads to 90% retention.
Participation in Class Activities: Engaging in discussions and role plays yields a 70% retention rate.
Passive Participation: Activities like watching films result in a 50% retention rate.
Visual Learning: Observing visual aids contributes to 30% retention.
Auditory Learning: Listening to lectures results in a 20% retention rate.
Reading: This method leads to the lowest retention at 10%.

Types of Materials

Visual Materials:
- Concrete materials are 3-dimensional and realistic.
- Abstract materials involve verbal symbols and words.
Audio Materials: Include both natural and artificial sound recordings.
Audio-Visual Materials: Combine what can be seen and heard for enhanced learning experiences.
Kinesthetic Materials: Use manipulatives like clay and equipment to promote experiential learning.

Experiential Materials

Incorporate various modalities to facilitate comprehensive learning experiences.

Implementation of Learning Plans

Lesson plans should align with established guidelines, such as those from the Department of Education order 70 s, 2012, especially for new teachers.

Science Lesson Plan Objectives

Explain that applying force can move objects.
Clarify that pushing or pulling actions involve applying a force to objects.
Define pushing as moving an object away and pulling as moving it towards oneself.
