Characteristics of Instructional Design

• Is learner-centered• Is goal-oriented• Focuses on real-world performance• Focuses on outcomes that can be

measured in a reliable and valid way• Is empirical• Typically is a team effort

– Gustafson, K.L. & Branch, R.M. (2002) What is instructional design? In Trends and Issues in Instructional Design and Technology, R.A. Reiser and J.V. Dempsey, eds.

ADDIE

• Analysis

• Design

• Development

• Implementation

• Evaluation

• Iterative, not linear

Design

1. Write instructional objectives

2. Identify type of content to be learned

3. Select instructional strategies according to the content type

4. Select media

Writing Instructional Objectives

• Objectives indicate what learner is expected to know or do after instruction

• Objective Domains: Cognitive – Affective -- Psychomotor

• Objectives:– Preferably are observable or measurable – Have action verb & content– May include performance standard and/or

conditions

Classify Learning as to TypeBloom et al. (1956)• Cognitive domain

– Knowledge– Comprehension– Application– Analysis– Synthesis– Evaluation

• Affective domain -- attitudes• Psychomotor domain – motor skills

Web Evaluation Example for Bloom’s Cognitive Domain

• Knowledge: can define “url”, “domain”, “home page”, etc.

• Comprehension: can describe the evaluation criteria

• Application: looks for author information where taught to find it (e.g., About Us)

• Analysis: determines the web site’s purpose and audience

• Synthesis: creates own web evaluation rules after studying others’ criteria

• Evaluation: evaluates web site according to given criteria

Classify Content as to Type

• Fact

• Concept

• Principles and rules

• Procedure

• Interpersonal skills

• Attitude

Sample objectives

• Student will correctly define (verb) the term “url” (fact)

• Students will classify (verb) sources in their discipline as primary or secondary sources (concept)

• Student will correctly write (verb) search statements following the rule for nesting with AND and OR (rule)

• Student will correctly cite (verb) journal articles in APA format (procedure)

Content Sequencing

• Teach prerequisite skills first

• Move from familiar to unfamiliar

• Teach less difficult before more difficult

• Begin with tasks that create most learner interest

• Ensure learner has reached appropriate developmental level (or ability level)

- Morrison et al.

Instructional Strategies

Generative strategies:

1. Recall (for learning facts and lists)

2. Integration strategies

3. Organizational strategies

4. Elaboration Strategies

-- Morrison et al.

Examples:

1. Repetition, rehearsal, review, mnemonics

2. Paraphrasing, generating questions or examples

3. Analyzing key ideas, outlining, categorizing

4. Generating mental images, physical diagrams, sentence elaborations

How to Teach Concepts

• Example: Primary vs. secondary sources• Initial presentation: Definitions and examples.• Integration strategy: ask students to generate

more examples (small groups)

OR• Organizational strategy: show sources and

ask students to identify whether primary or secondary

How to Teach Principles or Rules

• Example: Boolean AND/OR

• Initial presentation: EG-Rule or Rule-EG– EG-Rule example: Human database shows

effect of rule– Rule-EG example: Nesting AND/OR

• Integration, OR

• Organization, OR

• Elaboration

How to Teach Procedures

1. Demonstration

2. Organization or Elaboration

3. Practice

• Example: Citing a journal article in APA format

How to Design Instructional Strategies

1. Review each objective and determine type of content: fact, concept, principle/rule, or procedure

2. Select an initial presentation strategy

3. Select a generative strategy: recall, integration, organization, or elaboration

Designing Instructional Strategies

Specify Media

• Instructor speaking• Chalk board• Printed text (textbooks, worksheets,

visuals, etc.)• Audio/video/multimedia• Computer presentation and/or simulation• Web-based instruction• etc.

Development

• Prepare student & instructor materials, both print & non-print, as specified during design

• Delivery Methods:– Group presentation– Self-paced learning– Small-group interaction activities– Combination

Designing Instructional Strategies

Design & Development

Design:1. Write instructional

objectives2. Identify type of

content to be learned

3. Select instructional strategies according to the content type

4. Select media

Development:• Prepare student &

instructor materials, both print & non-print, as specified during design
