Video Tutorial: Selecting Teaching Strategies and Activities – Step 4

This is the final video in support of The Religion Teacher’s Guide to Lesson Planning, the free ebook available here at The Religion Teacher. In these two video tutorials I provide a framework for choosing teaching strategies and activities. The core of this framework is the acronym, PROCESS.

I like to think of learning as a process. We start with certain knowledge, we are introduced to new concepts, and then we organize the new information into what we already know. Occasionally, we are given the opportunity to think critically or apply what we have learned. In an educational setting we are usually assessed to ensure this process has taken place.

The Learning PROCESS

P—Prior Knowledge
R—Receive New Information
O—Organize the New Information with the Prior Knowledge
C—Clarification and Critical Thinking
ESS—Assessment

Don’t forget that all of the resources mentioned in these videos can be found at the Resource page for The Religion Teacher’s Guide to Lesson Planning. The SQ3R handout mentioned in the video can be found at the Graphic Organizers page.
