Systematic Design of Instruction

Definition

Systematic Design of Instruction is of course a general abstract concept but in this article we refer to it as the name of a design methodology that is suggested by Dick & Carey (2004).

The model

The Dick and Carey model contains 10 elements:

1. Identification of the instructional goal
2. Instructional analysis of the goal
3. Analysis of entry behaviors (what learners already know) and learner characteristics (subordinate skills)
4. Identification of performance objectives
5. Develop assessment instruments, e.g. criterion-referenced test items
6. Develop an instructional strategy
7. Preparation (development of selection) of instructional materials
8. Design and conduct of formative evaluation of instruction
9. Revise instruction
10. Design and conduct summative evaluation

• Note: There are also revision loops ! (see the figure in [1])
