    Lesson 4: Processes of Remedial Teaching, Curriculum Adaptation and Formulation of Teaching

    Plans
    (Week 4)

    Objective/s:

     Identify the processes and principles in designing the remedial instruction plans; and\
     Apply the principles and methods of designing teaching plans for remedial classes.

    Content Focus

    The flowchart below may serve as a reference for teachers in the delivery of collaborative teaching or
    individual teaching:
    Curriculum Adaptation

     Remedial teachers should adapt the curriculum to accommodate the learning characteristics and
    abilities of pupils. They should set some teaching objectives which are easy to achieve to ensure
    that pupils may acquire the knowledge as desired after the completion of each module.

     Teaching should not be directed by textbooks which should not be taken as the school
    curriculum. There is no need to cover all the contents in the textbooks as well. Schools can
    classify the teaching content into core and non-core learning aspects according to the teaching
    objectives and pupils abilities. Core learning aspects require in-depth studies and application
    whereas materials in the non-core or advanced learning aspects may be streamlined or
    appropriately selected for teaching.

     Teachers are encouraged to adopt recommendations on cross-curricular teaching by linking up


    related teaching areas flexibly so that more time can be spared for effective activities and
    learning.

     Teachers should make good use of all teaching materials. For example, they may select and use
    the materials in textbooks to meet the teaching objectives, or compile their own supplementary
    teaching materials. They may also design materials of different standards. Materials from the
    internet, newspapers, magazines and references provided by the Education Department may
    help teachers design interesting and enjoyable activities to enhance pupils effectiveness of
    learning.

    Homework Policies

     Schools should formulate clear policies on homework which should be reviewed regularly. The
    assignments should be targeted at the teaching objectives and serve the purposes of learning.
    Exercise books available in the market should only serve as a reference. Schools should choose
    these exercise books carefully and make appropriate adjustments to the category, quantity and
    quality of homework.

     Teachers should take note of the following points when designing homework for pupils:

    I. the homework should have clear objectives and can accommodate the level and needs of
    pupils;
    II. the form and contents of homework should be of a great variety so as to develop pupils’
    creativity, self- learning and collaborative skills;
    III. the homework should match the content taught in class;
    IV. teachers should give simple and clear instruction;
    V. assign appropriate amount of homework each day;
    VI. ineffective and mechanical drills should be avoided; and
    VII. teachers should make good use of the homework as a tool for evaluation and feedback to
    enhance the motivation and effectiveness of learning.

    Formulation of Teaching Plans

     When formulating teaching plans, teachers are advised to take the following two aspects into
    consideration: On the one hand, teachers should formulate practical teaching objectives that
    meet the learning characteristics and weaknesses of pupils so as to foster a sense of
    achievement. On the other hand, teachers should decide whether the learning items should be
    taught in details or in brief. Moreover, the items should be classified into different levels and
    taught through small and simplified steps to facilitate comprehension as well as to strengthen
    pupils’ confidence in learning. A topic in Mathematics is quoted as example:
    Topic Original IRTP Class

    Area of Find the area of a more Find the area


    a complicated figure
    polygon

     With reference to the common difficulties encountered by pupils, teachers should set down the
    main points for remedial teaching and make adjustments promptly according to the performance
    of students.

     Teachers should make a brief record of the learning aspects, teaching objectives/aims, key
    learning points, activities, use of teaching aids and evaluations for future reference.

     Teachers may deliver the teaching content by means of modules, themes, learning aspects or
    teaching items and work out the teaching plans accordingly.

     Post-lesson reviews should focus on the teaching process and pupils’ performance, with specific
    and critical evaluations made. Examples of main points for review are as follows:
    I. the common difficulties of pupils;
    II. the effectiveness of teaching strategies and class activities to help pupils understand the
    teaching contents, grasp the main points and apply what they have learned; and
    III. issues of concern (e.g. basic knowledge that requires enrichment, the need to break
    down or re-arrange teaching steps, etc.)

    Note: Be ready for a quiz.
