(1970)
By
Kathleen Webster
Introduction
The main goal of an instructor is to establish a learning module that will have a positive impact on his or her student.
Robert Gagne’s has created a design module that can guide an instructor to achieve an instructional design that will meet that goal.
Step 1: Gain Attention
Find a way to grab the attention of the learner
Be creative Use devices such as: Storytelling,
demonstrations, problem solving, engage the student in being active in participating.
Engage the students in learning
Step 2: Describe Goal
Describe the goals of the learning module. Outline what the student is expected to
learn. State what the learners will accomplish and
how they will be able to use this knowledge.
Step 3: Stimulate Recall of Prior Knowledge
Show students how prior knowledge is connected to the information being presented.
Provide student with a framework that will stimulate both the learning process and the retention of ideas.
Step 4: Present the material
Develop and implement a plan to deliver the information to the student
The deliver of the information can be in various forms such as power point presentation, lectures, assigned readings, discussions, and other multi-media forms.
Be creative when presenting information
Step 5: Provide Guidance for learning
Evaluate the progress of your students and establish ways to achieve success.
Encourage students to seek other source for learning such as library, internet, and conversation.
Direct students to learning opportunities whenever possible.
Step 6: Elicit Performance
Allow students to find ways to apply the knowledge to help in retaining the information.
Sample of application could be a project that involves using the knowledge to achieve the goals outcome.
Step 7: Provide Feedback
Feedback is an essential tool for the learner. It involves the instructor monitoring the
student’s learning and making sure the student is correct in his or her learning.
The instructor needs to encourage the student by recognizing the student’s achievement in learning.
Step 8: Assess Performance
Test, quiz, group discussion, papers and projects are just some of the ways an instructor can determine if the student is learning the material presented.
It is important to assess the learning performance of a student to determine if the process is efficient.
Assess the student’s learning by challenging their knowledge
Step 9: Enhance Retention and Transfer
Students may find value in learning if they can transfer the information they learn to a situation they know.
Students may retain the information if they have an opportunity to apply it to a situation even if it is just for practice.
