Instructional Design Theory

Instructional Design Theory 

 

According to Reigeluth (1999), instructional design theory is a theory that offers explicit guidance on how to better help people learn and develop. The kinds of learning and development may include cognitive, emotional, social, physical, and spiritual. Instructional design theories are design oriented, they describe methods of instruction and situations in which those methods should be used, the methods can be broken into simpler component methods, and methods are probabilistic.

 

Instructional design theory, or instructional strategies and criteria for their application, must play a large role in the application of learning objects if they are to succeed in facilitating learning(Wiley,2000). Design Theory is goal oriented and emphasize prescriptions for accomplishing a given end (Snyder, 2009). 

 

What are Theories and Models?


What is a theory?

  • A theory provides a general explanation for observations made over time.
  • A theory explains and predicts behavior.
  • A theory may be modified.
  • Theories seldom have to be thrown out completely if thoroughly tested but sometimes a theory may be widely accepted for a long time and later disproved.

What is a model? 

  • A model is mental picture that helps us understand something we cannot see or experience directly (Dorin, Demmin & Gabel, 1990). 

 

Some of the Instructional Design Theories and Learning Theories overlapped in procedure.  Some of the Design Theories derived from the basis of learning theories.

Cognitivism


Constructivism


proponents B.F. Skinner Jerome Bruner Lev Vygotsky John Dewey Knowles
applications training, e.g. flight simulators any deep processing: exploring, organizing, synthesizing content Collaborative learning
instructional design focus Instructor designs the learning environmment. Instructor manages problem solving and structured search activities, especially with group learning strategies. Instructor mentors peer interaction and continuity of building on known concepts.
view of learner basically passive, just responding to stimuli Learners process, store, and retrieve information for use. (Bruner's Discovery Learning)  Learners create their own unique education because learning is based on prior knowledge.
assets integrating complex muscular and cognitive activities Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development focuses on interactive problem solving. Learning is interactive, dialogic.
implications Climate for Learning: Does the environment have the right stimuli to promote learning? Readiness: Students will learn concepts that are maturing.

Opportunity: ZPD = area between what a learner can do individually vs. assist by peer interaction, research and teaching.

Learners Customize Their Learning: Provide a range of learning activities and concepts for core course objectives.

Prior Knowledge: Design learning to assist students to build on what they know. 

Inquirey Learning: Adult learners have a mutual vested interest in their learning and want to involve real experience; teachers are not the sole possessors of knowledge and perspective but co-learners and guides. (Knowles' andragogy)

 

 

Instructional design models allow users to better understand or target a problem with a mental plan.  The instructional design models break down the tasks into sub-tasks that are more manageable for users in order to accomplish a goal.

Hello Israel
Thanks for your wiki. It is really informative, and all links work perfectly. In the first paragraph you didn't mention the name of your reference and you just entered the year. Your reference format is not in APA format. I had this problem too and I fixed it manually. Thanks.
