Quarter 4 Week 5 Lesson Exemplars (LE) and Learning Activity Sheets (LAS) SY 2024 – 2025
What is a Lesson Exemplar (LE)?
A Lesson Exemplar is a structured lesson plan that helps teachers effectively deliver instruction while ensuring that students meet learning objectives. Lesson Exemplars follow a specific framework, such as the I-D-E-A model, which includes Introduction, Development, Engagement, and Assimilation. This method is particularly useful in arts education where fostering creativity and active participation is essential for student learning.
Arts education has been widely recognized for its positive impact on student motivation, engagement, and academic success. Research suggests that students involved in artistic activities find learning more enjoyable and meaningful leading to better performance in school. However, the increasing influence of technology has led many students to prioritize digital entertainment over hands-on creative experiences. Lesson Exemplars help address this issue by integrating structured artistic activities into the curriculum making learning more engaging and interactive.
Incorporating Lesson Exemplars in education, teachers can create meaningful and well-organized lessons that encourage creativity and critical thinking. These structured learning experiences not only keep students engaged but also enhance their focus, problem-solving skills and overall academic achievement.
What are Learning Activity Sheets (LAS)?
Learning Activity Sheets (LAS) are educational tools designed to help students learn independently. These materials include summaries, guided exercises and assessments that support students in understanding lessons more effectively. During the COVID-19 pandemic, LAS became essential in remote learning, ensuring that students could continue their education despite the lack of in-person instruction.
As online learning became the norm, student worksheets played a vital role in keeping learners engaged. Research highlights the importance of making learning both active and relevant. Active learning encourages students to think critically, discuss ideas and complete tasks while contextual learning connects lessons to real-life situations. For instance, in teaching descriptive writing, student worksheets provide structured guidance that enhances students’ comprehension and creativity.
Additionally, LAS serve as assessment tools that help teachers evaluate student progress. Schools use LAS to track learning outcomes and ensure students grasp important concepts. These worksheets also promote self-directed learning by helping students identify their strengths and adapt to different teaching methods. In the new normal, LAS continue to be an essential resource for fostering independent and effective learning.
