Chapter 3 The ASSURE Model “To insure effective instruction of media and technology”

A Analyze the Learners

Analyze Learners General Characteristics - identify your learners Specific Entry Competencies - know what your learners are capable of doing Learning Styles - how an individual perceives, interacts with and responds emotionally to the learning environment Matching the characteristics of the learner with the content of the methods, media, and materials

Learning Styles Gardner says, “not all people have the same abilities; not all people learn in the same way.”

Information Processing Habits Concrete Sequential-direct hands-on experiences in logical order –Workbooks –Programmed instruction –Demonstrations –Structured laboratory approaches

Information Processing Habits Concrete Random-lean toward a trial and error approach –Games –Simulations –Independent study projects –Discovery Learning

Information Processing Habits Abstract Sequential-learners decode verbal and symbolic messages adeptly –Reading presentations –Listening to presentations

Information Processing Habits Abstract Random-draw meaning from human mediated presentations respond to tone and style of speakers –Group discussions –Lectures with question answer periods –Videotapes –Television

S State the Objectives

State Objectives Audience - learning takes place when learners are active, mentally processing an idea, or physically practicing a skill. Behavior - the verb describing the new capabilities that the audience will have after instruction Conditions -the performance that is to be observed by the learners Degree -the standard by which acceptable performance will be judged A statement of what will be achieved, not how it will be achieved

S Select Method, Media, and Materials

Select Method, Media, and Materials Choosing a Method -any given lesson will probably incorporate two or more methods to serve different purposes at a different points in the progression of the lesson Choosing a Media - the physical form in which a message is incorporated and displayed - still images, text, voice, music, etc. Selecting Materials -available -modify existing -design new

U Utilize Media and Materials

Utilize Media and Materials Preview the materials -always preview instruction materials before using them -materials should be appropriate for your audience and objectives Prepare the materials -gather all of the equipment you and the students will need -determine the sequence Prepare the environment -arrange the facilities for proper student use of the materials and media Use of media and materials by the students and teachers.

Utilize Media and Materials Prepare the learners -give a broad overview of the content and lesson or -tell how the lesson relates to the topic being studied or -give a motivating statement that creates a need to know by telling learners how they will profit from the lesson -give cues directing attention to specific aspects of the lesson Provide the learning Experience -direct attention to the classroom Use of media and materials by the students and teachers.

R Require Learner Participation

Require Learner Participation Behaviorist Perspective -learning is a process of trying various behaviors and keeping those that lead to favorable results. Cognitivists Perspective -learners build up a mental schemata when their minds are actively engaged in struggling to remember or apply a new concept or principle Constructivists Perspective -learning is an active process where knowledge is built on the basis of experience Social Psychologists Perspective -interpersonal communication as the social basis for knowledge acquisition Active participation in the learning process enhances learning.

Feedback Productive critical evaluative response –Oneself –Print Sources –Devices –Other People

E Evaluate and Revise

Evaluate and Revise Assessment of Learner Achievement -Did students learn what they were suppose to learn? Evaluation of Methods and Media -Were the instructional methods and materials effective? Revision -What changes need to be made in the lesson? Designed to detect and correct learning/teaching problems and difficulties with the instruction that may interfere with student achievement
