CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Backward design in education is a lesson planning strategy that starts with the final assessment, then asks teachers to build their lessons toward that goal. This differs from transitional lesson design, in which teachers identify content they need to cover, build relevant lessons, then create the final assessment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Additionally, in backward design, formative assessment plays a very important role in the instruction and scaffolding of content. Formative assessments help instructors and students monitor and address student learning outcomes in an ongoing manner so that student learning needs can be gleaned, and gaps can be closed.

Detailed explanation-3: -Step 1: Identify a topic or chunk of content that needs to be covered. Step 2: Plan a sequence of lessons to teach that content. Step 3: Create an assessment to measure the learning that should have taken place in those lessons. Notice that in this approach, the assessment is created after the lessons are planned.

Detailed explanation-4: -Backward design begins with the objectives of a unit or course-what students are expected to learn and be able to do-and then proceeds “backward” to create lessons that achieve those desired goals.
