Essential Parts of the Conventional Learning Module
This learning module follows Robert Gagne’s Nine Events of Instruction. Each learning
module is composed of the following parts:
I. Module Title
This basically bears the subject matter to be covered in the module.
II. Overview/Introduction
This section prepares the students of what they are going to learn. Provide a
simple introduction or overview. This can also be the motivation part. Teacher can post
a simple activity to test students’ prior knowledge.
III. Learning Outcomes
These are statements of standards that the teacher is expecting the students to
achieve at the end of the module.
IV. Learning Experiences and Self-Assessment Activities (SAA)
The Learning Experience part provides the students with the explanations of
theories, principles or concepts, presentation of examples or non-examples and
illustrations of processes. On the other hand, the self-assessment activities pose
questions that students need to answer in order to check whether they are having a
good grasp of the content, gearing them towards the achievement of the learning
outcomes. SAAs are considered as formative assessments.
V. Summary/Key Points
This part shows a brief statement or restatement of the main points of the
lesson.
VI. SAA Answer Sheet
(write this on separate pages)
These are the pages where students can write their answers for their SAAs.
VII. End of Module Assessment (EMA)
(write this on separate pages)
This part will be the summative assessment. This enables the students to
demonstrate what they have learned based on the learning experiences provided in
this module. It also serves as a tool for the teacher to evaluate whether students have
achieved the learning outcomes and for rating their performance.
VIII. SAA Answer Key
This part consists of answers to some of the SAAs for instant feed backing.
IX. Looking Ahead
This part leads the students to the next learning module. It may include additional
tasks, instructions or reminders for the performance task.
X. Self and Module Evaluation
This part requires the students to rate the quality of the module to help
continuously improve the development of this learning module.
This also asks the students to rate their learning experience for each of the
modules.
XI. References
The books, periodicals, theses, conference papers, audiovisual media or other
online sources used in the module content are listed in this section. Follow APA 7th
edition in citing these references.
