Lidiando con el conductismo, Práctica Profesional...

In our thesis, we propose not only creative didactic materials, but also a different teaching model, which is WOW LESSON PLAN.

Wow plan is a teaching model, created by Mrs Catherine Thomas. She is a English Language Felow at Universidad de Playa Ancha and Instituto Chileno Norteamericano.

Mrs Thomas, took the idea of Tom Peters (a business consultant), who created the wow project...an idea to planning successful projects, and adapted this idea to plannin lesson, which finally turned out as the following:

wow plan

Traditional teaching considers only the two parts in the middle:

present (50%) and practice (50%) and that's it.

What Wow Lesson Plan proposes is to teach contents in a attractive way:

HOOK (25%) - PRESENT (25%) PRACTICE (25%) AND CREATE (25%), that way you are going to succeed not only in your teaching, but also in your student's learning.

We consider that Mrs Thomas's idea is a great one, and all teachers have to know about them. That's why we implement it in our project.

By the way, wow lesson plan is based in the Humanist Theory of Robert Gagné. Our guide thesis teacher Patricio Calderón have been working with this theory, which considers 8 events or phases:

Probably you are not going to remember these 8 events when teaching. But probably it is easier to remember and implement what Wow lesson plan suggest!

And it follows the same idea, in just 4 events, without losing the essence of gagné's theory.
