Abstract

Good design is not merely about imparting knowledge and skills to students, but rather it aims to generate a more comprehensive and concrete learning experience by being directed towards the objectives and their underlying implications. When designing lessons, units, and courses, we do not derive from familiar pedagogical methods, textbooks, and activities. Instead, we start with the desired learning outcomes. The most impactful designs are those that think “end-to-beginning,” initiating from the learning result and working backwards. This paper exemplifies this approach by exploring reverse instructional design for the unit on Chain Drives Chapter 3 in the 7th edition of the Mechanical Foundations textbook. We investigate the design of Mechanical Foundations based on holistic unit planning, which involves first defining the anticipated outcomes, then identifying suitable assessment evidence, and finally crafting the learning experiences. This method aims to enhance teaching effectiveness and advance the realization of core competencies in students.
