1. ASSURE Model
ASSURE model is the procedural guide for the teacher to integrate his/her course by using
media and technology effectively at the same time in class. ASSURE model includes,
Analyze learner: Teacher must match between the characteristic of the learner and content of
the methods, media and materials. Because of this reason the teacher need to analyze his/her
learners. There are several criteria to analyze the learner, these are

General characteristics: consider age, grade level, job or position, and cultural and
socioeconomic factors of the learners

Specific entry competencies: knowledge and skills that learners either posses or lack:
prerequisite skills, target skills, and attitudes

Learning styles: the spectrum of psychological traits that affect how students perceive
and respond to different stimuli, such as anxiety, aptitude, visual or auditory
preference , motivation and so on.

State objectives: objectives are stated to make an appropriate selection of media and
materials, to create a learning environment in which the objectives can be reached and to help
ensure proper evaluation.
Select methods, media and materials: the selection process has three steps, first deciding on
the appropriate method for the given learning task, second choosing a media format that is
suitable for carrying out the method and thirdly selecting , modifying or designing specific
materials within the media format.
Utilize media and materials: there is 5 Ps procedure for the utilization of media and
materials; preview the materials, prepare the materials, prepare the environment, prepare the
learners and provide the learning experience.
Require learner participation: to be effective, instruction should require active mental
engagement by learners. The activities should allow learners to practice the knowledge or
skills and to give feedback.
Evaluation and revise : after instruction, it is necessary to evaluate its impact and
effectiveness and to assess student learning. If there is missed points, the teacher need to
revise the plan for the next time.

2. Integration of ASSURE Model in Project 1

Physics: Simple Machines
The tenth-grade physics students are studying simple machines in their high school concepts.
Their study is focused on how a simple machines work and why do people need them in their
daily lives. Simple machines is one of the important subject for the tenth-grade physics
students, because each year they have to give answer for the questions related to this subject
in the University Entrance Exam. Simple machines is also the prior subject for the other
subjects like dynamic and motion.
2.1 Analyze Learners
General Characteristics:
These tenth graders are 15 to 16 years old. There are 35 students in the class and the school is
one of the popular Anatolian High Schools in the city center of Ankara. All the students have
to take this course because they plan to go to the university after the high school. Many of
them are going to dersane after the class for preparing University Entrance Exam. The
students represent a mixed socioeconomic community, many of them have rich families and a
few number of them is educated by the foundations scholarships. Their intellectual aptitude is
generally high, many of them are joined at least one student club which is organized by the
teachers and the students(chess club). Some of them also actively participate to the cultural
activities in school like Turkish Folk Dances and Theatre.
Entry Competencies:
Approximately 80 percent of the students are able to do fallowing:

Add and subtract the vector quantities from each other

Find the center of masses of the subjects

The remaining part of the class (20 percent) has difficulties in understanding the vector
quantities and finding center of masses.
The students learn vectors and center of mass at the beginning of the semester. Then they
the teacher pass through the subject simple machines. If the students knowledge is lack in
these concepts, they will have some difficulties in understanding the new subject.
In class students target skills are high and they can easily understand the new subject and also
their attitudes towards physics is positive.

Learning Styles:
Most students enjoy both interacting and competing with their peers, this also motivate them
to actively participate the classroom activities.
In Gardners multiple intelligences, most of the students have logical/mathematical
intelligences. This shows that students like physics courses and easily adapt the subject.
In Gregorcs model of mind styles, the students are abstract sequential learners. That means
they decode verbal and symbolic messages adeptly, especially when presented in logical
sequence. Reading and listening are preferred methods for them.
Extrinsic motivator can also increase their motivation like grades because they are preparing
for the university entrance exam, too and their grades affect the result of the exam very much.
2.2 State Objectives
On completion of the course, students will be able to do followings:
1. Identify the general principles of Simple Machines.
2. Make predictions about the usage of simple machines in daily life.
3. Apply the formulas in an appropriate way.
4. Distinguish between first, second and third types of levers.
5. Analyze the different types of pulleys.
6. Comprehend where gears and wheel and axle are used.
7. Apply the inclined plane in daily life.
8. Prepare a report about how they can use simple machines in one plan effectively.
2.3 Select Methods, Media and Materials
Selecting Methods:
Most of the students have logical/mathematical intelligences and abstract sequential learning
mind styles. Because of these reasons cooperative learning activities can be used by creating a
game. In this game they can increase their motivation by intrinsic motivator which is their
competition desires.

Selecting Media:
Although the students are much familiar with the computers in their schools, the teacher
prefer to use handout (project 1) and the students textbook. In addition to these materials the
teacher should also prepare an activity sheets for the groups. This may increase their
motivation in cooperative activities. In the classroom environment the teacher will need to use
the board to explain the subjects which are written in handout.
Selecting materials:
It is easy to find simple machines (levers, pulleys, gears, wheel and axle, and inclined plane)
in school and modify them. The students can easily rearrange these machines and use them in
their cooperative activities. If one part of the machines is missing or lost, the teacher may
easily design a new one.
2.4 Utilize Media and Materials
The 35 students in this class are randomly divided into seven teams of five. Each team works
in a cooperative manner to complete the given activities. The teacher shows how they use
simple machines and their working principles, s/he keep his/her introduction brief so each
team need to understand the handout. Groups work quickly and at the same time the teacher
explains specific details as questions arose to each group. The teachers philosophy is not to
give them answers for which they had no questions. His duty is to behave like a facilitator in
class.
2.5 Require Learner Participation
During the lesson the students participate in group activities and discussions to answer the
questions which are given in activity sheet. They have to justify their decisions to their peers.
Then the teacher mixes the groups and then constructs new groups with different students to
make specific decisions for specific events. The student in the new group want to approve old
group decisions and this creates discussions among students. These activities provide practice
and feedback for the students to actively participate. These also supply them to understand the
working principles of simple machines neatly. Students are highly motivated by doing
cooperative activities and discussions.

2.6 Evaluate and Revise

The teacher prepare a written test with twelve questions related to the first - seven objectives
according to the below table of specification.

The table above shows the number of questions in given test and their corresponding in
Blooms taxonomy. In parenthesis, numbers show related objectives. For example: in 6(3) , 6
shows the number of the question and 3 shows the related objective.
For the objective 8 the teacher wants them to write a report about simple machines. Reports
are collected from each student and evaluated by the teacher. These reports will be given to
the students after writing the evaluation on them.
In the next lesson after this procedure, the technique which was used by the teacher will be
discussed by the students and the teacher. The teacher also discusses this procedure with other
teachers and if needed, s/he will revise it according to the critics.

3. Description of Using The ASSURE Model In Lesson Planning

ASSURE procedure should be done by the teacher before the lesson and s/he should add this
model knowledge to the lesson plan.
Firstly, the teacher should analyze his/her learners to reach and motivate them easily. If the
teacher well analyses learners before the lesson, s/he can understand the feeling of learners
and prepare appropriate lesson plan. I think analyzing learners is the most important part of
this model, because s/he will state objectives and select appropriate methods, media and
materials according to the learners.
Secondly, the teacher should state objectives clearly and neatly. Objectives should be
appropriate to the grade level and the need(s) of students.
Thirdly, the teacher should select appropriate methods, media and materials. This part is
important while preparing lesson plan, because the teacher will state the methods, media and
materials in lesson plan at the same time.
Fourthly, the teacher should utilize media and materials. For the utilization s/he can use
5 Ps rules which are written in the first part of the report.
Fifthly, the teacher should supply active participation of the students. To do this, s/he can use
activity sheets and state them in lesson plan.
Finally, the teacher should do appropriate evaluation. S/he needs to state the technique in
lesson plan.
3.1 Benefits of Using ASSURE Model

More detailed; in ASSURE model you need to give details about learners,
methods, media and materials, and evaluation

One-on-one interest; you need to make one-on-one relation between students

to analyze them easily.

Creativity; you need use your creativity while doing appropriate selections.

Early preparation; you need to prepare this procedure before the lesson and
you can be ready for the lesson earlier.

Revise chance; you may revise the procedure and make appropriate changes
according to the critics after the lesson.

3.2 Drawbacks of Using ASSURE Model

Time consuming; you need too much time to complete the procedure

Need research; you have to make research about learners and methods, media
and materials. This means that you need extra time.

Variations; your learners may be different socioeconomic backgrounds and

different learning styles, this may difficult you selections.

Peranan dan kepentingan model ASSURE dan model ADDIE.

Model ASSURE dan ADDIE merupakan model reka bentuk pengajaran yang biasa digunakan
dalam proses pemilihan dan penghasilan media.Tujuan utama reka bentuk pengajaran adalah
untuk menghasilkan pengajaran yang berkesan bagi membolehkan pelajar memperoleh
kemahiran, pengetahuan dan sikap yang diharapkan serta digemari oleh pelajar. Pengajaran
yang dirancang dengan teliti dan lengkap mewujudkan keyakinan, kepercayaan dan perasaan
hormat pelajar terhadap pengajar, sekaligus membina disiplin yang positif. Ini kerana
pengajar dapat melaksanakan pengajaran dengan lancar dan menarik serta tidak membazir
masa dan sistematik.
