Module 1 – Unit 2
Applying ICT in MEIS
The Didactic Approach
The Didactic Approach
Didactic Teaching
The Didactic Classroom
What the Teacher Does
Identifies desired learning outcomes and
selects tasks accordingly
Presents information
Models procedures or techniques
Orchestrates activities and manages
behaviour
Asks questions to check understanding
and recall of information
Selects assessment foci and creates
assessments to check understanding and
recall
Feeds results and comments on
performance back to students (through
marking or verbal comments)
What the Students Do
Follow the teacher's plan and do preselected tasks as required
Read, watch or listen to new learning
content
Observe and then copy or imitate
Do as told (or not)
Try to recall the information they received to
answer questions
Prepare for assessment by revising
previously learned, pre-selected information
Listen to or read feedback and (possibly) try
again

Step 1: The ‘Hook’.
The teacher evokes a stimulus of some type such as a story, an activity or a
question designed to engage the students’ attention and interest.
Step 2: Lesson Objectives Shared
The teacher identifies the lesson objectives or outcomes and shows how these fit
into the overall learning plan.
Step 3: Teacher Input
The teacher provides necessary information, skills, procedures, etc.
Step 4: Student Activities
Students are given an opportunity to engage with the content/skills, usually
through a set of activities in order internalise the information or behaviours.
Step 5: Learning Check
Actual learning against the objectives is checked through a series of formative
assessment opportunities. Teacher ascertains needs for both support interventions
and/or extension work.
Step 6: Review
Students and teacher interact to summarise important points of the lesson.
Typical Activities in a Didactic Lesson
• Teacher exposition (Steps 1-3)
• Student processing (Step 4)
• Teacher and students monitor progress (Steps
5-6).
Key Point
A didactic method is a teaching method that
follows a consistent scientific approach or
educational style to engage the student’s mind.

Activity 2 – Didactic Lesson Plan
Developing a Didactic Lesson that is TPACK Compliant
Groups in Subject Teams
• In your teams look at your subject area syllabus.
• Choose a topic.
• Identify curriculum objectives that you think can be achieved during
a didactic lesson on this topic.
• Think about the different steps of didactic activities and resources
you might use to develop your learners in this topic.
• Now develop the teacher and student activities for each step of the
Didactic approach.
• List all the resources you will need for each activity.
• Use the planning template for your team subject area to develop
your lesson plan.
Output and Presentation of Output
• Groups will exchange lesson plans with other
group in their subject area for review using the
lesson review tool
• Groups revise lesson plans based on group review
• Feedback in Plenary
• Diary Reflection
• Daily Evaluation
