Question

Why is it important to record the pre-knowledge that learners need on your lesson plan template?

Answer 1

Assessing students' prior knowledge allows an instructor to focus and adapt their teaching plan. For students, it helps them to construct connections between old and new knowledge. Prior knowledge has long been considered the most important factor influencing learning and student achievement. The amount and quality of prior knowledge positively influence both knowledge acquisition and the capacity to apply higher-order cognitive problem-solving skills. Another importance of recording the pre-knowledge  is to provide them with the opportunity to assess their own knowledge and skills.
