Design of E-LearningFebruary 9, 2009

Dick and Carey Model

What is it?• Based on a behaviorist perspective and inter-

related systems approach to learning

• The goal is to improve instruction by improving the instructor

• Can be thought of as 10 components that are part of 6 main phases.

Six Main Phases...•Design•Analysis•Development•Formative Assessment•Revision•Summative Evaluation

The first 2 phases:Design & Analysis

Amanda Duvall

Assess Needs to Identify Goal(s)

Assess Needs to Identify Goal(s)• Decide what students will be able to do when they leave the

course

• This goal can be derived from

– needs assessment

– a list of smaller goals

– practical experience with learning

– analysis of job performance

– new requirements imposed on workers

Learning Real World MathWhat would the instructional goal be if you wanted your students to help determine the area of the classroom?

a) students will measure the room

b) students will share a ruler

c) student will use real world problem solving to apply measurement and area

d) students will teach others about area and measuring

Conduct Instructional Analysis

Conduct Instructional Analysis• Identify what is required for a

student to achieve the instructional goals

• What step by step skills do students need to achieve instructional goal?

• What is the least amount people must be able to do to be able to learn what is in the class?

What are some entry behaviors students will

need?

Please write your ideas on the next screen...

Analyze Learners and Contexts

Analyze Learners and Contexts

• Simultaneously analyze

– the instructional goals of the learners

– the contexts in which they will learn the skills

– where they will use the knowledge

• Look for

– learners’ current skills

– current preferences

– current attitudes

– determine instructional setting

What might you find?

Write Performance Objectives

Write Performance Objectives• Based on the instructional analysis and the entry behaviors of learners

• Describe what learners will be able to do

• There are 3 components:

• Describe the skill or behavior

• Describe the conditions that prevail while carrying out task

• Describe the criteria used to evaluate performance

• Each will have subordinate skills that should be identified

Performance Objectives: Example• Terminal Objective:

Given the appropriate tools, students will measure the area of a room to determine the amount of carpet necessary to cover the floor from wall to wall.

• Subordinate objectives: (Skill or behavior from instructional analysis)

• Accurately measure perimeter of the room

• Diagram the floor plan proportionately from measurements

• Calculate the area using appropriate geometric formulas

Performance Objectives (cont.)Conditions that prevail while carrying out task

• students will use a measuring tape

• students will translate measurements to a drawing

• students will use equations for determining area based on the shape of the room

Criteria used to evaluate performance

• linear measurements are accurate to within 2"

• angles are accurately accounted for in the drawing

• calculations have been made using the appropriate formulas

• area calculated is within 1 square foot of the actual room size

Develop Assessment Instruments

Develop Assessment InstrumentsInstruments are based on the objectives and measure

students’ ability to perform what is described in the objectives:

• emphasis: relating the kind of behavior described to what the assessment requires

Example:

• Student performance rubric for measuring the area of a room

• Given any variety of room dimensions and configurations, students calculate area

Development cont.

Instructional Strategy

Instructional Strategy• Plan for presenting the instruction to the learner to

achieve terminal objective

• Based on analysis of what is to be taught (previous 5 steps)

• Decide best method for delivering the instruction

• Teacher Led, Group Led, Student Paced

• Analysis of learner and skills

Instructional Strategy

Preparation of Instructional Materials

Preparation of Instructional Materials

• Design and selection of materials appropriate for learning activity.

• Teaching guides, transparencies, tests, computer applications, student modules, supplemental video, web pages.

• Decision based on the availability of existing materials and the learner.

The Final Phases:

Formative Assessment, Revision,

Summative Evaluation

Martina Henke

Formative Evaluation

Formative Evaluation• Goal is to collect data to identify how to

improve instruction

• one-to-one evaluation

• small-group evaluation

• field evaluation

• Not assessment of the learner, but of the instruction

Formative Evaluation

The methods mentioned can be difficult to apply in day to day instructional settings. They were designed for a broader view.

What might be some ways an instructor can gather the formative data s/he needs to evaluate his or her instruction?

Revise Instruction

Revise Instruction• Data from formative evaluation is analyzed to:

• identify difficulties learners had in achieving objectives

• relate these difficulties to specific deficiencies in instruction

• re-examine validity of instructional analysis and assumptions about learner characteristics

Summative Evaluation

Summative Evaluation• Culminating evaluation of the effectiveness of

instruction

• generally outside the design process

• evaluates absolute value or worth of the instruction after it mets the standards of the designer

• usually an independent evaluator
