29 frameworks found
5E Instructional Model
A constructivist inquiry model standard in DepEd Science teaching, structured around Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate.
7E Learning Cycle
An expanded constructivist model adding Elicit and Extend to the 5E framework for deeper diagnostic assessment and transfer of learning.
8E Model
An advanced inquiry framework incorporating Express and Empathize into the learning cycle to cultivate metacognition and emotional resonance.
4A Model
The classic standard lesson structure in DepEd Daily Lesson Logs (DLL) consisting of Activity, Analysis, Abstraction, and Application.
Madeline Hunter Lesson Plan
An 8-step direct instruction design model emphasizing anticipatory set, modeling, guided practice, and independent practice for mastery.
Herbartian Approach
The classical 5-step instructional methodology focused on apperception, logical sequence, systematic presentation, and generalization.
Inquiry-Based Learning
A student-centered pedagogical approach where learning begins with questions, scenarios, or problems rather than mere presentation of facts, driving deep conceptual understanding through active investigation.
Guided Inquiry
A structured inquiry model where the teacher provides the overarching research question and curated resources while students actively design procedures, analyze data, and construct evidence-based conclusions.
Discovery Learning
An inductive learning framework developed by Jerome Bruner where students interact with concepts, manipulate artifacts, and solve problems to discover underlying principles and patterns on their own.
Kolb Experiential Learning
A holistic four-stage learning cycle where knowledge is created through the transformation of experience, moving from concrete action to reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation.
Constructivist Learning
A foundational learning theory asserting that learners actively construct knowledge and meaning from their experiences rather than passively receiving information from the instructor.
Project-Based Learning
A comprehensive instructional model where Filipino students gain knowledge and skills by working over an extended period to investigate and respond to an authentic, engaging, and complex real-world driving question.
Problem-Based Learning
An inquiry-driven pedagogical model where students learn through the active resolution of complex, open-ended, ill-structured real-world problems.
Cooperative Learning
A structured pedagogical approach where students work in small, heterogeneous teams to maximize both individual and mutual learning.
Collaborative Learning
An overarching educational approach where learners work together intellectually to explore questions, synthesize ideas, and co-construct shared understanding.
Flipped Classroom
A blended instructional strategy that moves direct instruction outside the classroom, freeing in-class time for active learning, targeted practice, and higher-order application.
Blended Learning
A strategic instructional delivery framework that systematically combines face-to-face classroom teaching with technology-mediated online and offline distance learning modalities.
Station Rotation
A rotation-based blended learning model where students rotate on a fixed schedule through distinct classroom learning stations, including online learning, teacher-led instruction, and collaborative activities.
Bloom's Taxonomy
A foundational hierarchical framework classifying cognitive learning objectives into six levels of complexity: Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, and Create.
SOLO Taxonomy
A powerful qualitative taxonomy classifying student understanding into five structural levels: Prestructural, Unistructural, Multistructural, Relational, and Extended Abstract.
Webb's Depth of Knowledge
A comprehensive cognitive demand model that categorizes learning tasks into four distinct levels of mental processing: Recall & Reproduction, Skills & Concepts, Strategic Thinking, and Extended Thinking.
Formative Assessment
Ongoing, low-stakes evaluation during instruction designed to monitor learner progress, identify learning gaps, and inform immediate instructional adjustments per DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2015.
Summative Assessment
Evaluative assessment OF learning administered at the end of a unit, quarter, or term to measure student mastery of content and performance standards for grading per DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2015.
Diagnostic Assessment
Pre-instructional evaluation designed to identify students' prior knowledge, prerequisite skills, learning gaps, and misconceptions before initiating a new unit or school year.
Authentic Assessment
Evaluation of student learning through real-world, meaningful tasks that replicate professional, civic, and practical applications in authentic contexts.
Performance-Based Assessment
Direct, systematic evaluation of student knowledge and skill demonstration through executed tasks or created products measured against explicit scoring rubrics per DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2015.
ILAW Framework
A Philippine DepEd contextualized lesson planning model structured around Information/Introduction, Learning development, Activity/Application, and Wisdom/Wrap-up.
MATATAG Lesson Planning
DepEd's updated lesson design framework under the MATATAG Curriculum (DO 010, s. 2024), focusing on decongested competencies, foundational skills, and Weekly Lesson Logs (WLL).
Marzano Taxonomy
A robust six-level model of educational objectives by Robert Marzano and John Kendall, spanning Knowledge Retrieval, Comprehension, Analysis, Knowledge Utilization, Metacognition, and Self-System Thinking.
This library is designed to teach teachers how to use instructional frameworks — not to replace their lesson planning. Every framework includes a blank planning template, printable checklist, and references for further study.
