Reflection

What have I learned about the teaching and learning process when preparing this lesson?

Students can be overwhelmed with assessments, especially when it is coming up to the end of their
schooling career. From this lesson plan I have learnt the importance of teachers being flexible in
their teaching approaches to allow for lessons to be incorporated which help to further scaffold the
learning of their students.

This lesson provides students the opportunity to further develop their skills, and work with
classmates to help their confidence going into their upcoming source analysis examination.

How am I measuring the outcomes of this lesson?

Reflection

What have I learned about the teaching and learning process when preparing this lesson?

Reflection and feedback are important aspects of a students educational learning and
growth. This lesson draws on the importance of feedback as a way to encourage students to
critically analyse their own work, reflect on ways to improve their future tasks and look at
ways to adapt and/ or adjust their learning strategies. This lesson plan has also made me
aware of the importance of utilising different tasks for assessment throughout the year. This
task is a great example of a black and white task with no room for risk taking,
experimentation or creativity which may be areas where some of my students are more
confident in expressing themselves and their historical knowledge. Eg. Design a poster, short
video, create a poem etc.

Justification:
This assessment was created for the Stage 6 Preliminary course of Modern History,
focusing on the Core Topic of The World at the Beginning of the Twentieth Century. This
assignment was expanded from the New South Wales Education Standards Authority (NESA)
Modern History Syllabus to successfully transition students into their HSC course, as well as
establish historical thinking within the students. The following justification showcases
motivations and processes involved in my choices in creating the documents within Part 1
and Part 2.

The produced unit outline acts as a guide of educational goals that are required to
be met through the successful and effective teaching of the unit, the world at the beginning
of the twentieth century. It is imperative that when creating a unit outline, to successfully
scaffold the learning to be relative to the needs of the students as well as scaffolding to the
requirements stipulated by NESA. To successfully achieve both, it is important to provide
differentiation. Differentiation is a fundamental component of teaching competency and
also a requirement of the Australian Teaching standards as stipulated by NESA especially,
Teaching Standard 1.5 Differentiate teaching to meet the specific learning needs of students
across the full range of abilities (Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards NSW
[BOSTES]. 2012). To differ the learning of students, Tomlinson (2014) notes the importance
of devising strategies for maximum student growth and individual success.

Within this assessment unit outline, differentiation methods have been targeted at EALD
(English as a language Dialect) and catering to the needs of students from low socio
economic background (low SES). The reasoning these two categories for differentiation are
focused on was established due to the area of which SAMPLE HIGH SCHOOL is located, and
also the Backgrounds of students of this area. In order to be an effective teacher, the
created documents for this assessment have been created to not segregate students from
an EALD or low SES background but to focus on inclusivity. Inclusivity is highlighted
throughout the unit outline with numerous group and pair tasks (including mixed ability),
PowerPoint activates, movies and written tasks to help increase inclusivity within the
classroom. Folioing on from this, the differentiation column established that should there be
times where the categorised students of EALD or low SES backgrounds were feeling
pressure; there were activities that they could undertake to alleviate the pressure. The need
to differentiate for students is concluded discussed by Darling-Hammond (2006) as an
important characteristic of teachers as they must understand a wide array of learning, social
and cultural contexts of teaching to be able to serve the increasingly growing number of
students from EALD and Low SES backgrounds. Providing differentiation for students his
successfully noted within the source analysis examination. The examination includes a
glossary of terms for students, which can assist them if they need when looking at the
written sources. This helps provide a bridge for students to actively connect with the exam.

The use of assessments is an important element of a students learning process, as it

acts as a catalyst of linking learning outcomes and teaching and learning activities together.
The use of a summative assessment such as a source analysis in class examination invites
students to demonstrate their mastery of knowledge of course content. Apart from this, the
use of summative assessments are also a useful method for teachers to see how effective
their teaching strategies have been, as well as providing evidence should changes to the
content need to be made to further assist future classes (Dylan, 2011).

In order for students to be successful in undertaking this assessment task it is

important to provide them with navigation and guidance prior to undertaking the actual
task, to allow them to be successful. The pre lesson takes form from the work of Ausubel
1963 and the theory of Meaningful Learning (Okada, Buckingham Shum, & Sherborne, 2014).
The pre lesson provides students the opportunity to grasp a deeper understanding of the
requirements for their upcoming source analysis examination, and make logical order of the
learning material. The successful implementation of Ausubels meaningful learning theory
provides a visual roadmap showing pathways that can be taken to connect meanings of
concepts. Houff (2012) further discusses the importance of fostering knowledge in pre
lessons as providing teachers an opportunity to guide student growth.

The emphasis on the post lesson lies within providing students feedback on their
assessment, which is described as the most powerful single moderator that enhances
achievement (Hattie, 2007). This is followed by Nicol (2010) who establishes feedback as a
way to identify and reward students quality of work, develop and motivate them, and guide
them in improvements. As such, the post lesson takes shape by going over the assessment
task, highlighting areas of student excellence and educating students on where
improvements can be made. Utilizing a lesson to go over the assessment allows students the
ability to discuss and act on feedback, which Nicols highlights is just as important as the
quality of feedback itself.

In summation it is evident that a number of pedagogical theories and education

approaches were incorporated throughout the components of this assessment to create a
constructivist approach to the teachings of preliminary stage 6 classes. Throughout the
successful integration of theory and skill, it is hoped that this assessment and its inclusions
will enable students to successfully meet the stipulated outcomes of the Stage 6 preliminary
course and effectively integrate into their final year of secondary study within the Higher
School Certificate. Through a well-executed integration of the above-required documents, it
is anticipated that students will be supplied with a meaningful and engaging experience with
the world at the beginning of the twentieth century content. From this, it is ultimately hoped
that this meaningful integration allows them the knowledge and skills to progress into their
Higher School Certificate course.
