The structure of a worksheet (1)

• We start with a small introduction about the subject we are going to deal with

• Then we present our objectives, which particularize the educational aim, and accurately describe the expected results of the educational activity. Results must be designated in a clear, concrete and observable way, so the extent of their success could be evaluated. Thus, the meanings of the verbs we use for describing the objectives are of major importance and cannot be misunderstood

The structure of a worksheet (2)

Objectives are formed in three levels:

• Knowledge acquired by learners

• Skills developed by learners, (what they would be able to do)

• Attitudes which can be acquired or changed by learners, (attitude is a settled way of thinking or feeling which mostly affects behaviour)

The structure of a worksheet (4)

Then we formulate the activities in every worksheet, focusing on the following:

• We use a variety of different didactic techniques, depending on the subject, the objectives, and the age of the target group, considering the 8 kinds of intelligences and the interdisciplinary approach of knowledge

• Most common didactic techniques are: discussion, case study, field study, brainstorming , survey, bibliographical research, role play, dilemma, action research, decision making,etc.
