Instruction for Good Learning

About
People can only learn by constructing/producing their own knowledge. Learning requires active manipulation of the material to be learned and cannot occur passively. This is the principal tenet of Constructivism. The purpose of instruction is to help people learn. Instruction is the intentional facilitation of learning towards the attainment of an identified learning outcome. It is the deliberate arrangement of learning activities and conditions to promote the attainment of intended outcomes. It is prescriptive by nature. Instruction should be effective, engaging, and efficient. The effectiveness of an instructional method will depend on the instructional situation, nature of the subject, cognitive levels of students and their motivations, and the teacher’s familiarity with the method. Several innovative technology tools and apps are being made available continuously for management of teaching and learning. Not every technology can be used effectively in every instructional situation. It is necessary to think pedagogically about educational technologies. The institutions must prioritize the available and accessible technologies for teaching and learning in their instructional situations.
