 2.) Designing of specific learning experiences is the process where the teacher will choose and evaluate different learning experiences ( Cone of Experience by Edgar Dale) that they will use in the class to make the teaching learning process effective;

  3.) Evaluating the effectiveness of learning experiences is where the teacher will evaluate the process that s/he had used with his/her students, if  they have learned something from it;and

4.) Revising the teaching-learning process for improving future instructional activities is wherein you will make further revisions in the learning experiences you have used in a specific making it into better one so that it will be more effective in the teaching-learning process.
