Enabling Objectives Matrix (Module 6, Activity 2)

Title of the unit/module: How to Read Your Textbook

Brief description of target audience: undergraduate students in physics or physical science

courses

Terminal Objective: Learners will APPLY the question-read-recite process for effectively reading
a textbook chapter [revision of my Terminal Objective 2 from module 5]

Pre-instructional Strategy: Overviewlearners will view a problem-based scenario in which a

student does not perform well on an exam that included questions from assigned textbook
readings. Learners will be invited to improve their own reading skills and academic performance
through this learning module . This is a motivational strategy informed by the ideas that
scaffolding clarifies purpose (McKenzie, 1999) and that inquiry arousal stimulates attention by
posing a problem to be solved (ARCS Model, 2016).
