What is it? discipline field profession art science

1986 Definition science of creating detailed specifications for the development, evaluation, and maintenance of situations which facilitate the learning of both large and small units of subject matter AECT, 1986

1994 Definition theory and practice of design, development, utilization, management, and evaluation of processes and resources for learning Seels & Richey, 1994

Of Instructional Design?

The Purpose of ID is to….. create situations where people can learn

Theoretical Basis of ID Systems Theory Communication Theory Instructional Theory Learning Theory

What is a Theory? set of related propositions suggest why events occur propositions consist of concepts, linkages, or relationships

Purposes of Theories provide patterns for interpretation link studies together supply frameworks where concepts and variables develop significance permit interpretation of larger meanings of findings provide structure for interpretation ultimate role: Prediction

What is a Model? representation of reality physical visual symbolic (using verbal descriptions) flowcharts, simulations

General Systems Theory ordered made up of many components and processes relationships between various elements relationships between attributes of elements complete whole open, closed, natural, or contrived hierarchical (suprasystem, subsystem) structure determines function

General Systems Theory & ID order planning analysis synthesis

Communications Theory information passed from one place to another open systems

Transmission Model Source Sends Message Encodes Transmits Channel Receiver Accepts Message Decodes Determines Meaning Noise Field of Experience Environment

Communication & ID Message Design Interaction Active Learning

Learning Theory Behaviorist Cognitivist Constructivist

Behaviorist - Implications Reinforcement; Motivation Retention Transfer Learner Performance

Cognitivist - Implications for ID promotion of retention –practice techniques for encoding, storing, retrieving –chunking –mnemonics –meaningful organization –advance organizers

Constructivist - Implications for ID Discovery Learning Student-generated goals High-level problem solving Ill-structured domains

Learning Theory & ID Philosophy Learning Outcomes Activities

Instructional Models Prescriptive Descriptive help determine “how” to create Smith & Ragan, Dick & Carey, Gagné, CDT, Layers of Necessity, Elaboration Theory, ARCS, ADDIE

Instructional Models & ID Guides Plans

Mean to Instructional Designers?

Core Elements for Systematic Design determine learner needs determine goals and objectives construct assessment procedures design/select delivery approaches try-out instructional system install and maintain system

What are Domains/Taxonomies Classification schemes –ID (Seels & Richey) –Learning Outcome Taxonomies Gagné Bloom

Domains of ID (Seels & Richey) Design Development Utilization Management Evaluation

Domains of ID Design ISD Message Design Instructional Strategies Learner Characteristics
