Instructional design model

Definition

• Design is more than a process; that process, and resulting product, represent a framework of thinking. (Driscoll & Carliner, 2005:9)

• Usually, an instructional design model tells how to organize appropriate pedagogical scenarios to achieve instructional goals. In more abstract terms an instructional design model is a kind of abstract design rule for a given instructional design approach.

• “Instructional Models are guidelines or sets of strategies on which the approaches to teaching by instructors are based. Effective instructional models are based on learning theories. Learning Theories describe the ways that theorists believe people learn new ideas and concepts. Often, they explain the relationship between information we already know and the new information we are trying to learn.” Learning technology Service, NC State University - 18:11, 18 May 2006 (MEST)]

Types of design models

This section needs yet to be written

There are probably 2 broad categories:

1. Instructional Systems Design (ISD) Models that are what DSchneider calls instructional design methods, i.e. “systematic guidelines instructional designers follow in order to create a workshop, a course, a curriculum, an instructional program, or a training session” (McGriff, 2001). Typical examples are:
   • ADDIE
2. More general guidelines for designing and developing instruction at various levels of granularity. Typical examples are:
   • Nine events of instruction

You can find some models by looking at the instructional design models category
