Instructional design/Technology-based lessons/What is a TBCL

Key Components of a TBCL
A TBCL is easily recognized when you walk into a classroom and see a group of students (many with eyes glazed over)

staring at a teacher (who is often lecturing), or busily flipping through the pages of a textbook and filling out

answers on a piece of paper.

The key components of a TBCL are the students, teacher, a textbook, some paper, and a pencil.

Teacher Perspective
A textbook chapter lesson (TBCL) is a lesson that a teacher follows the directions

of a textbook, assigns readings and problems from the textbook for homework, and then

gives the students a paper and pencil test to see if they have accomplished the

desired level of mastery.

Student Perspective
Students that learn through a TBCL are usually given a textbook that they are

responsible for until the end of the year and they must learn their subject

matter from this textbook.

Here is an example TBCL on plate tectonics.
