Is it sufficient or not?UNRWA Government

For 1st Stage= sufficientFor 2nd Stage= sufficientWhy?• Because the periods are equal to the No. of lesson

• Teachers do some extra classes.

For 1st Stage= sufficient.For 2nd Stage=sufficient like grade 9

• Not sufficient because of the large amount of information in SB and WB like grade 8 and 10

For 3rd Stage sufficient

For Teacher

s

To some extend, it’s sufficient. If we take other conditions into consideration, it may be not sufficient. These conditions are:•Large No. of students in classes.• Individual differences•Time consumer. •The quantity and student’s level.

Our

Opinion

1- Teacher can combine 2 similar or connected units in one class.

2- Teacher can do extra voluntary classes for revision, practice, complete the lessons.

3- Teacher gives Ss summary paper for some simple lessons to be studied at home and revise it with them quickly at the beginning of the class.

**The solutions to overcome this problem?

1- Planning

2- Revision

3- Assessment

** What are the pedagogical values for having sufficiency in number of lessons to number of periods?
