4a Lesson Plan
4a Lesson Plan
SMART Objective:
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
• Cognitive: Define inquiry-based learning and identify its key characteristics.
• Affective: Participate in a discussion about inquiry-based learning.
• Psychomotor: Create a question they want to explore using an inquiry-based
approach.
Materials Needed:
• Cartolina
• Markers
• Printed Handouts
Lesson Proper:
• Questioning
• Exploration
• Discovery
• Reflection
• Application
Application (3 minutes)
1. Ask students to choose a subject (e.g., 1. Select a subject.
science, history, math).
2. Instruct them to write one question 2. Formulate one question.
they want to explore in that subject
3. Ask: "How can you find the answer?" 3. Share how they might explore the answer.
Assessment:
• Summarize how Inquiry-Based Learning helps students think and learn better.
• Encourage students to keep using questions and exploration in their future
teaching.
Assessment:
1. Cognitive Formative Assessment: Use a rubric to evaluate students' understanding of
the principles of inquiry-based learning during their activities. (See assessment rubric).
2. Affective: Observe student engagement during both discussions and activities, noting
participation, enthusiasm, and responsiveness. Scoring: Use a simple tally system to
record positive behaviors (e.g., 1 point per active engagement behavior) during
activities. Aim for at least 3 positive behaviors for a satisfactory rating. (See
engagement observation checklist).
3. Psychomotor: Assess the relevance and clarity of the questions created by students, as
well as how effectively they apply inquiry-based learning in the activity.
