 What is Session Plan?

a simply stated, clearly written, flexible, and

individualized trainers aid for conducting a
session or module.
 WHY DO TRAINERS USE
SESSION PLAN
Give the trainers an idea of where they are and where they are
going in the conduct of the training program.
Give the trainers and the trainees a clear idea of the training
activities they are doing at a given time.
Record the training sessions the trainees have taken
Give the trainers a starting point if they have to do the training again
with another learner or group of learners.
Give the trainers a firm base to review their performance
 Elements of the Session
Industry Sector Plan
Qualification Title
Unit of Competency
Module Title
Learning Outcomes
Introduction
Learning Activities
Assessment Methods
Teacher’s Self Reflection of the Session
 TEN STEPS FOR DESIGNING
AN EFFECTIVE SESSION
PLAN
Step 1. Determine Participants’ Needs
Step 2. Define Learning Outcomes as Indicated in the TR
Step 3. Prepare the Introduction
Step 4. Determine Learning Activities
Step 5. Identify Teaching Methods and Techniques
 Training Methods
Demonstration
• It is a presentation that shows how to perform an act or how to use a
procedure.
• It is often followed by the learner carrying out the activity under the guidance
of the instructor.
• It is basically a visual presentation accompanied by oral discussion

Simulation
• It is a useful teaching strategy for illustrating a complex and changing
situation.
• It serves as simplified models of real activities. (replicate or mimic real life
situation)
• Learner acts, trainer reacts, the learner learns from this feedback.
• For the trainee to learn what you intend for them, to learn from the simulation,
you must hold a discussion during and/or after the game. This is integral to the
trainees’ training.
 FACTORS IN CHOOSING A
The Objectives of the Lesson METHOD
What you are trying to accomplish will help to determine the best
method of approaching the material and the class.
• Age Group of the Students
Teens are topically oriented
Adults are text oriented
Children are story oriented
• Content of the Lesson
• Available Resources
• Educational Background of the Students
• Allotted time

Step 6. Presentation
Types of of Sequence

Random Topics- One topic doesn’t necessarily depend on another.

For example, teaching about product knowledge.
 TEN STEPS FOR DESIGNING
AN EFFECTIVE SESSION
Chronological Sequence- this is based on the order in whichPLAN
things happen
over time. It is useful for teaching a daily routine or wherever the
understanding of one event or of one stage depends on the understanding of
what had occurred.

Casual Sequence- this kind of sequence is closely related to the

chronological. The learner follows a chain of cause and effect relationships in
different landscape formations.

Structural Logic - where a certain topic cannot be learned without prior

understanding of some other topics.

Step 7. Outline Follow-up Activities / Practice
PLAN
apply the skills student has acquired. How? Simulation, demo,
accomplish job sheet
Can be given to the trainees to enable them to achieve the
learning outcome.
Assignments can either be in the form of:
• Self-Check
• Review of Operations or Jobs Sheets
• Research activity related to learning outcomes
Self-Checks
 provide immediate feedback on how they are doing without having to wait for the
instructor.
o Self-checks can be
o knowledge or skill.

Skills Demonstration as a Method of Assessment

Example:
Demonstration Method: Given a blue print, fabricate a step shaft. The performance will
include:
 Facing
 Cylindrical turning
The finished project will be submitted to the trainer for assessment.

Step 8 Determine Training Resources PLAN
Learning/Instructional Resources
The things the student will use when carrying out the
instructions outlined in the learning activities.
Learning resources can be used to present instruction, and
for practice and feedback.
 TEN STEPS FOR DESIGNING AN EFFECTIVE SESSION
PLAN
1.Print Materials
Resources Used for
Textbooks, references, etc. Facts, concepts, terms, background
information,
principles, and actual steps in performing
tasks

Technical, shop, and manufacturer’s manual Step-by-step procedure for performing task
specific make or model of a product, tool or
equipment.

Magazines, journals, trade publications, Leaders, current issues, and trends in

pamphlets, and periodicals occupation; new advances in technology;
career awareness.

Instructor-developed “Instruction Sheets” Anything for which other resources cannot

be located

2. Non Print Materials

Resources Used for

Still visuals (with & without sound), Step-by-step procedure in performing
slides, film strips, flip charts, task; interior parts or construction of
photograph devices, close-up shots; color

Motion visuals, film Complex tasks where motion and

sequence are critical; speed up or
slow
down time.

3. Human Resource

Resource Used for

Trainer, aide, tutor or advanced Live demonstration of skills
Trainee presentation of knowledge for
which
no learning resource is yet
available.
Step 9. Determine Training Duration

Modular-selfpaced/or meet the duration specified in the TR

Step 10. Define assessment methods PLAN
See the evidence guide- performance task

Assessment Method
- Indicates the method of assessing the achievement of the learning outcome.
- Assessment may be:
 Formative – progress checks for every learning outcome of the module thru
self
check (paper and pencil) or hands-on activity.
 Institutional – progress checks given at the end of a module as final
assessment in
the form of written or demonstration of skills.

 Tips in Preparing the
Learning Activities

The learning activities must allow the trainee to be:

Presented with some activities;
Provided opportunity to practice
Provided with immediate feedback
The learning activities must be arranged in a sequential
manner .
The learning activities must be develop in a manner that
would serve as an individual trainer’s aide for the trainee.
 TRAINING DELIVERY
MODES
Dualized Mode. Programs contain both in-school and in-industry training
or fieldwork components.
 Modular/Self-Paced Learning. It is a competency-based training
modality
wherein the trainee is allowed to progress at his own pace. The trainer just
facilitates the training delivery.
 Peer teaching/Mentoring. A training modality wherein the fast learners
are given
the opportunity to assist the slow learners.
 TRAINING DELIVERY
MODES
Supervised Industry Training or On-The-Job Training. It is
designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of the trainee through
actual experience in the workplace to acquire specific competencies
prescribed in the Training Regulations.
 Distance Learning. A formal education process in which majority
of the
instruction occurs when the students and instructor are not in the
same place. It may employ correspondence study, audio, video or
computer technologies.
