Pedagogical scenario

under construction

Definition

• A pedagogical scenario is an instantiation of an instructional design model.

Typical ingredients and typologies

Here is a small list of typicial ingrediants one can find in a scenario

• learning activities
• a learning environment
• various courseware (learning materials)

Schulmeister (2005:487-488) suggest to define scenarios according to 3 dimensions:

1. presence - virtual
2. information - cooperation
3. instruction - learning

See also: Instructional design models and pedagogic strategy (DSchneider thinks that is difficult to find the right place to discuss that sort of typologies),

Related design methdology

Modern pedagogical theory (whether behaviorist, cognitivist, constructivist etc. ) insists on the importance of scenarios, i.e. story-boards that define learning activities.

A typical example is IMS Learning Design, that implements the following basic learning design model:

ROLE ->performs-> ACTIVITIES ->within-> an ENVRIONMENT
