The structure of a worksheet (1)
• We start with a small introduction about the subject
we are going to deal with
• Then we present our objectives, which particularize
the educational aim, and accurately describe the
expected results of the educational activity. Results
must be designated in a clear, concrete and
observable way, so the extent of their success could
be evaluated. Thus, the meanings of the verbs we
use for describing the objectives are of major
importance and cannot be misunderstood

Objectives are formed in three levels:
• Knowledge acquired by learners
• Skills developed by learners, (what they
would be able to do)
• Attitudes which can be acquired or changed
by learners, (attitude is a settled way of
thinking or feeling which mostly affects
behaviour)

The structure of a worksheet (4)
Then we formulate the activities in every
worksheet, focusing on the following:
• We use a variety of different didactic techniques,
depending on the subject, the objectives, and the
age of the target group, considering the 8 kinds of
intelligences and the interdisciplinary approach of
knowledge
• Most common didactic techniques are: discussion,
case study, field study, brainstorming , survey,
bibliographical research, role play, dilemma, action
research, decision making,etc.
