The Five Part Pillars of Instruction
Part A
The Pre-test with Clearly Defined Objectives
Part B
Independent Learning Opportunities
Part C
Practice with Formative Feedback
Part D
Post-test and Summative Evaluation
Part E
Applying new skill and knowledge to the real world
A pretest is used to determine whether learners have already mastered some of the skills in your instructional analysis. If they have, then they do not need as much instruction for those skills. If it becomes obvious that they lack certain skills then instruction can be focused so that the students attain those skills. When using a pretest in this manner, a teacher is not trying to grade a student, he or she is simply trying to find the point at which instruction start.
The pretest helps determine which skills they may already be familiar with. However, if a teacher already knows that the learners have no clue about the topic they are teaching them, then they may not need a pretest.
