Theme: Vocabulary and its relationships are foundations of lessons.

 

LESSONS, from a learners’ view (ALV), consist of vocabulary and relationships among the words, phrases, gestures, and other symbols and signs people use to show and tell by one person to others what the most skilled people have accomplished. Teachers blend lesson plans, instruction, and content into a triple-helix of learning in order to offer lessons.

Effective lessons use selected vocabulary to show other people how to do something specific. Efficient lessons use the least amount of vocabulary, time, and other resources to accelerate, increase, and deepen (AID) learning promptly as planned.

Vocabulary

Learning, at its core consists of adopting, adapting, and extending vocabulary to solve problems. Lessons consist of vocabulary of the subject matter for the course of study.

Psychomotrists use instruments that consist of vocabulary and logical use of vocabulary to assess intelligence, to forecast learning, and to indicate possible remediation to meet public standards.

Triple-Helix of Learning

The triple -helix of learning represents the choices (links) among lesson planning, instruction, and content that results in learners solving the problem the lesson shows them how to solve. Read More

Implications

This view of lessons provides priorities for preparing, composing (planning), instructing, and assessing them. It allows for ways to increase accuracy and precision while instructing the lesson. For example, which new vocabulary word, phrase, gesture, or other symbol or sign does a lesson introduce? Does it come from a master list of vocabulary for the subject taught? Does it fit into the school curriculum and the state common core assessment of academic performance levels? Does the lesson use principles of learning to introduce and demonstrate relationships among vocabulary used in previous lessons?
