    Synthesis/ Reflection Paper

    The instructional design process is like building a house. Initially you must answer some of the

    following questions: Where will we build? What materials will we need? Why is buildingnecessary? What will the cost be? The contractor must assess the homeowners wants and needs

    and ask the following: How many children do they have? How many bedrooms will they need?Why is the previous home not sufficient? What style of house do they want? Interviews will

    take place to gain information to address these questions. Plans must be designed to meet theidentified needs. There must also be a logical timeline developed to accomplish specific tasks.

    Throughout the building process decisions are questioned and reevaluated for effectiveness.

    This is similar to instructional design. First one must determine what the needs are and why they

    must be addressed. We must ask the following questions: Who are the learners? Where willthey be learning? How do they learn best? What materials will they need? Which strategies will

    be most effective? Interviews are necessary to gain important information. Just like building a

    house, the process of instructional design does not always occur in a linear fashion (Smith &Ragan, 2005). Both processes can include variations of the ADDIE model: Analyzing,

    Designing, Developing, Implementing, and Evaluating. For example, instructional designers

    must analyze the learners and instruction needs, while a contractor must analyze the land,materials and wants of the homeowners. The result of these two processes should be a well built

    product that has been meticulously evaluated and meets the identified needs.

    This course has made me aware of the many aspects of instructional development and lesson

    planning. Before this course I felt a somewhat clueless with designing lessons. I had one way toplan a lesson and I followed it. The instructional design models we investigated helped me to

    question my previous planning strategy and to focus on who my learners are. In the past, I have

    made plans without considering all of the students in my classroom and their specific needs. Ihave learned that taking the time to conduct a learner analysis is extremely beneficial to

    instruction, and will deliver better results at the end of the lesson.The area I learned the most about this semester was instructional models. The three model types,

    as described by Gustafson and Branch (2002), include systems oriented, product oriented, andclassroom oriented. As a teacher, the model type I will use the most in the future is the

    classroom oriented model. This model is the most intuitive for me and will be a valuable

    resource. I feel the design process will come in very useful in all future lesson development I

    take on.

    The process of writing learning objectives is another area I found beneficial within this course.

    Learning objectives are tools that teachers use daily. I enjoyed learning about the three parts to

    writing learning objectives, including descriptions of the terminal behavior, conditions, and

    standards (Smith & Ragan, 2005). I will use objectives for future lessons and can use theknowledge I have gained from this course to help other educators.

    Currently, I do not need to develop lesson plans, but I can see myself using multiple instructional

    design strategies in the future. At present, I work as a teachers assistant and will use these ideas

    to help other teachers meet the needs of their students. The different instructional design modelswill help me with this, and allow me to design better lessons. Overall, this course challenged me

    and gave me many tools to use in the future.

    Part 1- Topic

    1a- Learning GoalLearners will demonstrate their ability to identify parts of the microscope and their functions, aswell as, set up, use, and clean up a microscope safely and correctly.

    1b- AudienceThe audience for this ID project includes students ages 15 to 17 within a biology course at analternative school, and home, for children in Laramie, Wyoming.

    1c- RationaleThe topic for this lesson was chosen based upon a need request from the biology teacher at the

    alternative school in Laramie, Wyoming. The teacher and I discussed various needs and a

    timeline that would fit within this project. The topic of microscopes became the best option asstudents would be introduced to them within this semester of school, allowing me to assess their

    knowledge and incorporate their understanding. The teacher requested new ideas to incorporate

    into her unit on the microscope. After investigating learner knowledge, learning gaps wereidentified as a need that must be addressed. Many misconceptions were identified among

    learners, calling for changes to be made to current instruction. This need falls under the

    discrepancy model within Smith & Ragans (2005) text Instructional Design 3rd

    edition.

    The overall strategy for this project will be mostly supplantive. Microscopes are very delicate,expensive tools that need to be handled carefully to avoid dangers. Students must get direct

    instruction on various parts, how to use them, and basic care techniques, before they can work

    with the microscopes alone. Once students receive proper training and practice, they will beallowed to use the microscopes individually to investigate slides of their choice; this will be the

    generative portion of instruction. The learning tasks will be simple and well defined. Overall,

    the strategy will be 90% supplantive and 10% generative.

    The learning outcomes for this lesson will be both procedural and declarative. Instruction willinclude pairing of items. For example, microscope parts will be paired with their function. The

    major instructional strategy will be used for simple procedures, rather than declarative

    knowledge, because students must be able to apply their knowledge (Smith & Ragan, 2005).Simple procedures are learned through step by step demonstration and instruction. Once

    instruction is complete, learners must apply their knowledge through practice and receive

    feedback. Procedural knowledge is gained through straightforward instruction and littlediscovery learning. This fits well with a supplantive approach. One of the most important steps

    for this procedural lesson is checking the appropriateness of a completed procedure (Smith &

    Ragan, 2005). Learners must decide when it is appropriate to use medium and high powerobjectives, based on the previous results.

    Part 2- Analysis Report

    2a: Needs Assessment SurveyLearners were assessed by both a content assessment (Appendix A) and through an individual

    interview (Appendix B). The assessments were given to sixteen students within the high school

    biology course. The content assessment was given through a paper and pencil format. It

    Jennifer Anderson Page 6

  • 7/28/2019 503 Final ID Project

    7/42

    contained seven short answer, three true/false, and thirteen matching questions, all pertaining to

    the microscope. The interviews were performed one-on-one and were utilized to gain

    information about students prior knowledge, educational history, learning styles, anddemographics. Microscope functions were also assessed during the interview using the

    microscope image from the quiz. Students were asked the function for each of the fourteen parts

    and their results were recorded on their quiz.

    2a: Needs Assessment Data ReportThroughthe needs assessment, a number of learning

    gaps were identified. There were four main areas thatstudents struggled or had misconceptions about

    regarding microscopes. The first gap identified is a

    misunderstanding about total magnification. Totalmagnification is the total amount that a microscope will

    magnify the slide it is focused on. To find total

    magnification students multiply the power of the

    eyepiece by the power of the objective in use. If giventhe numbers to multiply, most students were capable of

    determining the final number for total magnification.

    However, students were unable to tell me what thedefinition of total magnification is and what it means

    when working with microscopes. This is a need that

    must be addressed. The second misconceptionstudents have is when to use the fine adjustment knob.

    Most believe the fine adjustment knob should only be

    used on high power, rather than on all three powers. Incontrast, most students understood that the coarse

    adjustment knob should only be used on low power.

    As shown in figure 1, five of the sixteen studentsmissed two or more parts of the microscope while two

    students missed only one part. Others (9 of 16) were

    able to identify all fourteen parts by the correct name,

    or an acceptable alternative. All students weresuccessful identifying the functions of the following

    parts: arm, base, objectives, stage, light, and eyepiece.

    The functions of five microscope parts were missed bymultiple students. Figure 2 shows how many students

    missed the function for the five specific microscope

    parts. During instruction there needs to be moreemphasis placed on the parts and functions that are

    commonly missed by students. Students were not

    assessed on their actual ability to use a microscope,

    however, they were asked about their confidence levelwhen using microscopes. Figure 3 shows that two of the sixteen students do not feel confident

    using microscopes, four students are somewhat confident, and ten students feel confident enough

    to use microscopes on their own.

    had multiple uses (two or more) with

    microscopes. All students currently live on

    campus and have very structured schedules.Students are pulled from class frequently for

    various counseling sessions and

    appointments. Many of these students haveexpressed interest in science, but lack

    motivation in school. Twelve of the sixteen

    students have expressed the belief that they

    will not use microscopes in the future, whilefour students believe they will (Figure 6). A

    large portion of these students have expressed they do not work well from textbooks, but rather

    from hands on activities and visuals. A large portion of these students have been identified tohave below grade level reading performance, resulting in very little learning from individual

    work and reading assignments. Many of these students lack confidence in school and are placed

    within this school for disciplinary or safety purposes. Therefore, due to other necessary

    treatment and health surveys, the importance of education is not stressed within this situation.

    Part 4: Instructor Guide

    Introduction

    Active attentiono Instructor will show video clip of microscopes used in movies (Outbreak and

    Contagion). Also, show images and videos of cell specimens under a microscope,

    from the internet (See Technology Tools 3 and 4). Have students discuss theimportance of microscopes. (Outbreak minutes 23-28).

    Establish Purposeo Introduce the learning goal: Learners will demonstrate their ability to identify

    parts of the microscope and their functions, as well as, set up, use, and clean up a

    microscope safely and correctly.

    o Have students write learning objectives to meet the goal. Discuss with the classas a whole to create objectives. Lead the students to additional, less obvious,

    objectives, such as those for total magnification. As a class, develop one

    comprehensive list.

    Stimulate motivation and attentiono Have students complete a writing prompt in their notebooks (Appendix D).

    Prompt: List five things you would like to see using a microscope andwhy?

    Preview learning activity/activity overviewo Bring out the microscopes and give students note cards with microscope parts and

    note cards with part functions (Appendix C). Have students work in pairs tobegin matching cards and identifying these parts on the microscopes. Instructorshould check for accuracy once partners feel their matches are correct.

    Body

    Recall prior knowledgeo Have students complete a KWL chart (Appendix E). Students should fill in the

    what they know and what they want to know portions. Once they have time

    to complete their list, have students compile their lists together at the board foreveryone to see.

    Present Information and exampleso Instructor should review parts of the microscope using microscopes themselves

    and the handout picture of a microscope for students to fill in the parts during

    instruction (Appendix F).

    o Instructor should demonstrate proper technique when carrying, using, andcleaning up the microscope. Show YouTube video How to use a microscope.

    Discuss the following:

    Jennifer Anderson Page 19

  • 7/28/2019 503 Final ID Project

    20/42

    Carry with one hand on arm, one hand under base. Check cord for frays; wrap cord up when finished Keep microscope away from edge of table. Never slide microscope across table. Pick it up and place it where needed. Place low objective into position when finished. Raise objective to highest level before cleaning up.

    o Present the principle for finding total magnification. Total Magnification = eyepiece X objective

    o Remind students that not all microscopes have the same power for all objectives,the most commonly used may include 4x, 10x, 40x, and 100x. Give students a

    few practice problems on the board.

    Focus Attentiono Allow for question and answer period for material presented so far.o Give students the handout, Procedure Checklist (Appendix G). Instructor shows

    demonstration of how to properly use a microscope from set up, to use, to cleanup. Use the checklist and walk through the procedure; show students what is

    expected for each step.

    o Allow students to begin hands on investigation of microscopes. Studentsshould review parts and functions with partners. Instructor should circle aroundclassroom to address questions, provide feedback, and direct students to the next

    step of their procedure checklist. All students should demonstrate to the

    instructor that they can find and focus the slide properly.

    Learning Strategieso Procedural Knowledge: Students should use procedure checklist. Have students

    view unbreakable samples, not glass slides. Students may look at yarn, hair, or

    newspaper. If students have any other appropriate specimens they would like to

    look at they may do that as well, such as bug antennae or wings. Allow forinquiry investigation among students.

    o Students must complete the following in their notebooks: For each object viewed:list observations, create one drawing of the specimen for each microscope power

    used (low, medium, and high), and find total magnification for each objectiveused (Appendix D).

    Provide Practiceo Have students use procedure checklist and begin practice focusing glass slides or

    plastic slideswhichever is more appropriate with the students. Walk around

    classroom to address questions, provide help, and feedback.

    Provide Feedbacko While students investigate slides, observe technique and provide feedback.

    5a. Learning Materials

    Student Materials Justification and Timeline

    1. KWL Chart- Appendix E

    The KWL chart will be used during the introduction and

    conclusion to this lesson. Students will complete the K

    portion (What they already Know) after watching theoutbreak intro and discussing how microscopes are used

    every day. This will allow students to identify what they

    know and what they Want to know before the lesson. At

    the end of the lesson, students will complete the L portionof the chart (What they have Learned).

    2. Flashcards- Appendix C

    Students will create flashcards as their first activity. They

    will write the microscope part on one side, and place a

    picture and the function on the back side. Students willrefer to these during the entire lesson. They will also peer

    quiz each other on these cards to study for their final

    assessment.

    3. Notebooks Prompts-Appendix D

    Students will complete a variety of notebooks prompts

    throughout the lesson.

    4. Blank Microscope Image-Appendix F

    Students will fill in the image with the missing parts as theyreceive instruction during the body of the lesson.

    5. Rubric for finalassessment- Appendix H

    Students will be given the rubric that will be used to gradethem on their practical exam. This will be given at the

    conclusion and wrap up of the lesson for students to use as a

    study tool. The practical exam will have students set up themicroscope, focus a slide correctly and clean up the

    microscope. They will also be asked to find total

    magnification.

    Part 6: Formative Evaluation Plan

    6a. Expert Review Plan

    The SME for my expert review will be Kristy Palmer. She has a Bachelors degree and Masters

    degree in biology. She also currently works as a teachers assistant within the Mae OlsenEducation Center, and has background information on this population of students. Materials will

    be submitted to her by November 29th

    . A meeting is scheduled to discuss the survey questions

    the following week on December 7th

    .

    6b. One to One Evaluation

    To perform a one-to-one evaluation I would have the instructor select two or three students, of

    varying levels, to assess the instructional materials. I would use the read-think-aloud technique to

    help the learners feel comfortable critiquing the materials and speaking up about areas that theydo not understand. I would show the students the written instructional objectives, assignments-

    writing prompts, videos, pictures, and assessments. These students would review this

    information and look for things they dont understand and incorrect or misleadinginformation. Some of the questions I would ask include: Does the vocabulary used make sense toyou? Do you understand all of the information with the instruction given? Are the questions clear

    to understand? Does the instruction seem interesting to you and collect your attention? I would

    also have students perform simple hands on exploration to assess what questions students mayask while using the microscopes.

    6c. Small Group Evaluation

    In order to perform a small group evaluation, I would assess two classes of 3 to 6 students each.

    The instructor would lead this portion of the evaluation. During the small group evaluation, the

    directions and instruction identified through the one-to-one evaluation would be revised and be afocus during the small group evaluation. Again students would be asked to identify any areas

    they misunderstand or where vocabulary/content is not clear. The students would again critique

    the directions and instruction of each step. Questions to be asked include: Are the learnerscapable of performing all tasks? What are areas that need further instruction/direction? Are the

    learners interested throughout the lesson, or are there areas lacking student attention? Do learners

    feel confident using the microscopes with the instruction given? If not what else would behelpful? Students involved in this evaluation phase would complete the lesson and the final

    assessment. Students will be encouraged to identify areas of the assessment that need more

    instruction or that are unclear. To conclude the evaluation I would have a group discussion of theoverall lesson, and also give an attitude questionnaire to identify areas of need.

    6d. Field Trial Evaluation

    The field trial will be used to re-evaluate the effectiveness of instruction and asses the revisions

    made after the small group evaluation. The instructor would lead a class of 10 or 12 students and

    carry out the lesson completely. Due to the school setting, it is not possible to evaluate a largergroup of learners. Materials will be in their final form (or very close to it). All instructional

    Jennifer Anderson Page 24

    25/42

    materials will be used and be carried out as would be in the real lesson. Additional notes will be

    added to make the instructors job easier and gain student interest. Questions may include: Are

    there any possible changes that need to be made before final implementation? What are possibleproblems that may arise during administration? Are students fully engaged during the

    lesson? Are students prepared for every portion of the summative assessment? Are formative

    assessments effective? Is the timeline effective?

    Expert Review Introduction

    The following materials were designed in order to create instruction for a lesson on usingmicroscopes. Students will be introduced to microscopes using a procedural instructional

    strategy.

    Project Goal: After three hours of instruction, learners will demonstrate their ability to identify

    parts of the microscope and their functions, as well as, set up, use, and clean up a microscope

    safely and correctly.

    By the end of the lesson students should be able to complete the following eleven objectives:

    1. Using a microscope, learners will identify the parts and their functions.2. Learners will employ proper technique to carry and set up a microscope correctly.3. Using a microscope, learners will distinguish and use objective lenses to switch from low

    to medium power, and medium to high power.

    4. Using a microscope, learners will differentiate between coarse and fine adjustment knobs.5.

    Learners will demonstrate how and when to use the coarse adjustment knob when using amicroscope.

    6. Learners will demonstrate how and when to use the fine adjustment knob when using amicroscope.

    7. Learners will operate a microscope to focus a given slide clearly and correctly.8. Learners will examine a microscope to determine total magnification on low power.9. Learners will examine a microscope to determine total magnification on medium power.10.Learners will examine a microscope to determine total magnification on high power.11.Learners will demonstrate when to switch objectives safely while using a microscope.

    Please evaluate the following materials for quality and effectiveness with this population ofstudents.

    Materials:KWL Chart- Used to get students thinking about how microscopes are used and to reflect upon

    what they learned.

    Flashcards- Students will use flashcards to learn microscope parts and their functions.

    Writing Prompts- Students will complete various writing prompt assignments to reflect on their

    knowledge of the microscopes and how microscopes are used today.

    Procedure Checklist- Given to students as a tool while using the microscopes.

    Instructor Guide- Instructions used by the teacher to facilitate the entire lesson.

    Rubric- Used to assess students during practice and summatively at the end of the lesson.Final Assessment- Summative written assessment given to students at the end of the lesson.

    eyepiece power times the

    objective power

    Examples:

    10x X 4x = 40x10x X 10x = 100x10x X 40x = 400x10x X 100X =

    1000x

    I. Summative Assessment

    Microscope Test

    Match the microscope part with its function

    1. ______ Eyepiece A. Focuses slide on all powers2. ______ Body tube B. Holds the slide in place on stage3. ______ Stage C. Bottom of microscope, provides support4. ______ Stage Clips D. Turns the objectives into place5. ______ Arm E. Illuminates the slide to see it better6. ______ Base F. Lens that magnifies the slide the least7. ______ Low Power Objective G. Projects image between the objectives

    and eyepiece

    8. ______ Medium Power Objective H. Focuses the slide on low power only9. ______ High Power Objective I. The slide is placed on this part10.______ Coarse Adjustment Knob J. Used to carry the microscope at the side11.______ Fine Adjustment Knob K. Adjusts the amount of light12.______ Light L. Lens magnifying the slide13.______ Diaphragm M. Lens that magnifies the slide the greatest14.______ Revolving Nosepiece N. Lens you look though directlyShort Answer

    1. Which objective must be in place when you put away the microscope?2. Describe how to carry the microscope?

    3. Which focusing knob do you first use when you begin looking at a slide?4. How much are you magnifying something when you are using 10x oculars and the 40x

    objectives?

    5. How much are you magnifying something when you are using 10x ocular lens and the 10xobjective?

    6.

    How much are you magnifying something when you using 10x oculars and the 4xobjectives?

    7. Why is it important to use the coarse and fine adjustment knobs carefully? Explain indetail.

    **The picture from Appendix F will also be used on this assessment.
