Effective teaching in a classroom is the outcome of different strategies. Nature of subject content, age and ability level of the students, available time, physical and human resources, and above all the instructional objective dictates the choice of a teaching strategy.

Gagne’s Nine Events of Instruction: Gagne’s learning hierarchies believe that effective learning is best achieved from a carefully designed set of instruction. These set of events consists of nine activities carried out by a teacher (or instructional program) and learners during instruction. The following are the nine events:

Events

Description

Gain attention

Some of the ways to grab the attention of the learners are through storytelling, demonstration, presenting a challenging problem, doing something different, etc.

Inform the learner of the objectives

Informing learners about the objectives is to let them know in advance what is expected of them at the end.

Stimulate recall of prior learning

Concepts learnt earlier are pre-requisite to learning new concepts. Previous learning should be recalled before new learning can occur. E.g. through questioning

Present the learning material

Information is presented to the learner in small chunks from simple to complex sequence.

Provide guidance for learning

To allow the learners to comprehend and assimilate the materials presented, the instructor needs to facilitate learning by hints.

Elicit performance

The instructor asks questions to elicit learners’ understanding of the material presented.

Provide reinforcement/ feedback

Once the correct performance has been exhibited by the learner, there should be feedback concerning the degree of correctness of the learner's performance.

Assess performance

The teacher gathers evidence (valid and reliable) regarding the learner's performance through tests.

Enhance retention and transfer

Varieties of new tasks are to be assigned to enhance the learner's understanding and to assure the transfer of learning.

 

Hence, from the table, it is clear that gaining the attention of students, informing the learner of the objectives, stimulating recall of prerequisite learning and eliciting the desired response are the instructional events which form part of the structure of a lesson plan.
