SMAR model

24th April 2024 

SAMR Model

SAMR model stands for  Substitution, Augmentation, Modification and Redefinition. The SAMR model provides a valuable framework for educators (and anyone integrating technology) to critically analyze how ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) are being used. Here are some key points to consider:

Levels of Integration:

• Substitution: This is the most basic level. Technology simply replaces traditional tools. For example, using a word processor instead of pen and paper for writing. While it can improve efficiency, it doesn't fundamentally change the task.
• Augmentation: ICT enhances a task. A teacher might use a presentation tool with multimedia elements to explain a concept, making it more engaging than a plain lecture.
• Modification: Technology changes the way a task is done. Students might use collaborative online tools to work together on a project, fostering communication and teamwork skills.
• Redefinition: This is the most transformative level. Technology allows for completely new learning experiences impossible without it. Imagine a virtual reality field trip to an ancient civilization, bringing history to life in a way a textbook cannot

I have Designed a lesson plan to show an example for SAMR model:

Lesson Plan

Teacher Name: Jigme Dorji

Subject: Science

Topic: Healthy habits

Class: V

Time: 45 min

Teaching learning materials: Video, pictures and worksheets

After the introduction of concepts to the children the teacher will carry out some activity so that the students learn better.

 

Activity 1

Learners explore the scientific concepts on the impacts of consuming junk foods, tobacco, alcohol, and drugs on our health from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iJcLl0sHicand answer the questions that follow in a group.

Follow up 

Let the students present their work to the class.
