Study Notes

UDAs and Traditional Units of Instruction

The Unit of Instruction (UI) is a structured organization of teaching activities focused on the teacher and the pre-assigned tasks for the students.
The UI focuses on transmitting specific knowledge and verifying what students have learned through standardized tests.
The UI is a direct teacher-led activity.
The Unit of Didactic Learning (UDA) is a step-by-step process that is designed to help students develop skills and competencies using real-world problem-solving.
The UDA is designed to help students learn to evaluate their own progress and reflect on their learning processes.

UDAs and Simulated Lessons

UDAs are a long-term process that can take a week, a month, or multiple months to implement.
UDAs focus on interdisciplinary learning by drawing knowledge and connections from multiple subjects.
Simulated Lessons are used to ensure that teachers are well-prepared and equipped to teach a subject effectively in a set amount of time.
Simulated Lessons are structured, have a defined timeframe, and focus on a specific subject.
UDAs use a variety of teaching techniques including: labs, group work, individual work, and hands-on experiences.
UDAs focus on the development of specific skills and competencies.
Simulated Lessons focus on developing knowledge, understanding, and skills, but may also focus on developing competencies.
UDAs involve the assessment and evaluation of real-world tasks.
Simulated Lessons involve assessments and evaluations based on the lesson's objectives.
UDAs have a formative approach to teaching and learning.
Simulated Lessons are a shorter-term and pre-determined learning experience.
Simulated lessons are a valuable component of UDAs.
