5.3 Basic session plan
In this part of the Handbook we provide details of a basic session plan in three parts that has been designed to engage students and maximise their learning from a complete DIY Learn study session.
| Part 1: Introducing the session | Part 2: Core teaching and learning | Part 3: Summary and learning reflection | |
| Purpose of this part of the session | Set out the main objective of the session. Outline what students should have learned by the end of the session. | Present information, concepts and principles. Engage students in exercises and discussions to assess whether they can apply the information encountered. | Present an overview of the information covered in the session. Provide an opportunity for students to reflect on their learning in relation to the learning outcomes of the study session. |
| What study session components will be used in this part of the session | Learning outcomes | Core content Adapted in-text activities Key points | Summary Self-assessment questions (SAQs) |
| Suggested timings for a two-hour session | 10 minutes | 90 minutes (divided into shorter sub-sections) | 20 minutes |
