    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.
