Through the first phase, the instructor need to take students' interest and attention on the issue by showing some related objects.
Therefore, our first step lets my students to gain their attentions by watching a clear explanation of the issue that we are going to held for today. So, we together will watch the video for once.
And then I will request them to touch upon a point after watching the assigned video. This step is important because it will catch students focuses to the subject by digging on their prior knowledge.
2. This step includes short description of the course topic in the direction of what they will gain after this course or what they will learn through this course.
So, with this class we will gain information about theories of development in four fundamental domains; these are psychoanalytic theories, learning theories, cognitive theories, biological and ecological theories.
