Bismillahirrahmanirrahim..
Literally, there are Nine Events of Instructions as according to Gagne :
- Gain attention (reception)
- Informing learners of the objective (expectancy)
- Stimulating recall of prior learning (retrieval)
- Presenting the stimulus (selective perception)
- Providing learning guidance (semantic encoding)
- Eliciting performance (responding)
- Providing feedback (reinforcement)
- Assessing performance (retrieval)
- Enhancing retention and transfer (generalization)
- For the first event that is to gain attention of the learners or students, we as teachers should first grab their attention to learn on that particular lesson that is going to be done. That is why it is important for us to prepare the induction set for each teaching and learning process.
- Secondly, we should inform them the objectives of the lesson so that they will become clearer on what is the purposes of their learning.
- Stimulating recall of prior learning of the students is for us to know the background knowledge and the schemata from them so that we will know their level of understanding before the lesson takes place.
- Later, we as the teachers should present the stimulus that is to give the ample information on that lesson for that students.
- Then, learning guidance should be provided such providing good examples as to make sure that the students will always be on the right track until the end of the lesson.
- Next, to elicit the performance means that the students themselves will be asked to give their own examples or explanations on that particular lesson.
- After that, the teacher will provide feedback to the students work or example so that their understandings can be enhanced.
- The teacher will then assess the students' performance by giving them marks on their practice and also recommendation for them to improve their performance.
- Lastly, the teacher will enhance the retention and transfer by giving another context but still in the same lesson for the students to recall on what they have learn throughout the lesson.
For me, the other theory which is also efficient for our teaching instruction is ADDIE which study about the Analysis, Design, Develop, Implement and Evaluation.
In my opinion, Gagne's Nine Events of Instruction is a very good theory for us to follow as teachers for our teaching instruction. The level of understanding of the students can easily be measured. However, for some cases like having a 30-minute class session, it would be quiet hard for us to follow all the instruction successfully. We might have missed one or two level of the whole instruction. Wallahualam. :)
