Background

Outcomes(s)

▪ I can select an instructional delivery stystem ▪ I can sequence and arrange content in lesson level

clusters▪ I can name the five learning components of

instructional strategy▪ I can specify learning components that are congruent

with learners maturity and ability levels▪ I can select appropriate student grouping and media

used an instructional strategy▪ I can consolidate media selection and select a delivery

system

What is the Delivery System

A general methodology that is used for managing and delivery the teaching and learning activities.

Examples of Delivery System▪ Traditional teaching▪ Large –group lecture▪ Computer-based instruction▪ Self-paced▪ Correspondence▪ Web-based instruction

Developing an Instructional Strategy

Content Sequencing

The instructional sequence for a goal is sequenced form left to right. The subordinate capabilities for any of the major steps are taught prior to going on the next major component. Goal Analysis indicated each step that must be performedSubordinate Skills Analysis indicates the skills that must be acquired prior to learning the goal

5 Factors when Clustering Instruction

1. The age level of your learners.2. The complexity of the material3. The type of learning taking place4. Whether the activity can be varied, focusing attention on the task.5. The amount of time required to include all the events in the instructional strategy for each cluster of content presented.

Learning Components of Instructional Strategies

A. Pre-Instruction activities1. Gain attention and motivate learners2. Describe objectives3. Describe and promote recall of prerequisite skills

B. Content presentation1. Content2. Learning guidance

Learning Components of Instructional Strategies

C. Learner participation1. Practice2. Feedback

D. Assessment1. Entry skills test2.Pretest3. Posttest

E. Follow-through activities1. Memory aids for retention2. Transfer consideration

Relationship between Each Major Component of Instruction and ARCS

Learning Components for Learners of Different Maturity and Ability

Levels

All learners can manage their own intellectual processing, meaning they have learned how to learn.

The learning components of an instructional strategy should be planned selectively rather than being provided for all learners in all instructional settings.

Learning Components for Various Learning Outcomes

Intellectual SkillsEach of the five learning components should be considered.

Verbal InformationEach learning component in relation to verbal information goals and subordinate skills.

Motor SkillsDirections that the learner is to followPerformance of each step

AttitudesFeelings, behaviors, and cognitive understanding.

Learning Component for Constructivist Strategies

▪ Constructivist teaching is based on the belief that learning occurs as learners are actively involved in a process of meaning and knowledge construction as opposed to passively receiving information. Learners are the makers of meaning and knowledge.

Cognitive ID Models and Constructivist Practices

Planning for a Constructivist Learning Environment

▪ Planning the Learning EnvironmentDescribe here the designs and materials needed to launch the CLE

▪ Planning for Learner EngagementDescribe here the procedures and activities anticipated during engagement given the nature of the learners, instructional goal and pedagogical model.

▪ Planning Learning GuidanceDescribe here materials and activates anticipated for adaptive learning guidance during learner engagement in the CLE

Planning Authentic AssessmentDescribe here the materials and procedures anticipated for authentic assessment for the goal, the learners, and the CLE.

Student Groupings

Ask yourself…Does the requirement for social interaction exist in the performance and learning contexts, in the statements of learning objectives, in the specific learning component being planned, or in one’s foundational views of the teaching process? Grouping can consist of individual, pairs, small group, or, large group.

Selection of Media and Delivery Systems

▪ Media are useful to the extent that they effectively carry required learning components of an instructional strategy.

▪ The delivery system is usually determined early in the instructional design process

▪ Media does not make a significant difference in how much students learn

Media Selection for Certain Learner Characteristics

▪ Media for learners with sensory, cognitive, or learning disabilities must comply with requirement of the Americans with Disabilities Act for accommodating disabilities.

▪ Target audience on nonreaders for whom audio and pictorial medial will have obvious benefits

Summary as Change Agent, Reflective Practitoner or Lifelong Learner

As a Lifelong Learner, I seek opportunities for professional growth through developing an instructional strategy. As an educator I must continue to find ways to foster learning. I am always looking for pre-instructional activities, ways to present content, ideas to gain student participation, and ways to achieve feedback from students. Technology is a major component in education and I must continue to stay knowledgeable in this field with the day to day change.
