The document discusses how teachers should plan and organize units of study for their subjects. It states that teachers must first understand the key topics, concepts, and objectives of each unit before creating a year-long plan. An effective unit plan includes analyzing the content, writing objectives, planning learning activities, and creating assessment procedures. A unit test should then be administered at the end of each unit to evaluate student achievement of the objectives and provide feedback to improve learning. Well-designed unit tests with proper weighting of content areas, question types, and difficulty levels can enhance the learning process.
2. • When the matter in the textbook is not adequately grouped and
prescribed the teacher has to reorganize and regroup the given
matter of a subject into suitable units.
• Definition Of Unit: A unit may be defined as a large
subdivision of the subject-matter wherein a principle or a topic
or a property is at the center of the well-organized matter.
3. The planning for a unit is known as the Unit Plan.
“When should the teacher prepare the Unit Plan-before the year
plan has been prepared or after it?”
The answer is not simple unless the teacher has a thorough
knowledge of each of the units of a subject, the teacher cannot
prepare the year plan. So, in a way the unit plan should be prepared
first.

write out the successive steps:
1. Content Analysis (terms , concepts , subunits)
2. Objectives with specifications
3. Learning activities (psychology of learner)
4. Testing procedures(achievement test) unit test

11. • For an adequate unit test, an adequate unit plan is
necessary.
• If the unit plan is properly drawn, it facilitates the
setting of a unit test properly because a well planned
unit plan will give us the following:
1. A full idea of how much weightage is given to
content.
2. The objectives
3. The form of questions, while planning unit test
12. A unit test serves the following purposes:
• Ascertains the effectiveness of “teaching learning process”
• Modifying the teacher’s teaching strategy
• Assess progress in learning of learners
• Finding out the strengths and weaknesses of the learner
• Opportunities for self evaluation
“The unit test is a short test to be given at the end of teaching a
unit and is not a random assortment of questions.”
13. 1) Planning (design) of the test
The design specifies the weightage given to each different
area:
• Weightage to objectives
• Weightage to different areas of content (subunits)
• Weightage to different forms of questions
• Weightage to difficulty level
• Scheme of options
• Sections in the question paper
14. 2) Editing the unit test:
• Selection of test items
• Grouping the test items (E,S,O)
• Instructions to examinee
• Preparing marking scheme and scoring key (for
uniformity in assessing)
• Scoring key e.g.32(d),33(d)...
