Nine Events Of Instructions

Gain attention Inform learner of objectivesStimulate recall of prior learningPresent stimulus material Provide learner guidanceElicit performanceProvide feedbackAssess performanceEnchance retention transfer

Instructional Event Internal Mental Process1. Gain attention Stimuli activates receptors2. Inform learners of objectives Creates level of expectation for

learning3. Stimulate recall of prior learning

Retrieval and activation of short-term memory

4. Present the content Selective perception of content

5. Provide "learning guidance"

Semantic encoding for storage long-term memory

6. Elicit performance (practice)

Responds to questions to enhance encoding and verification

7. Provide feedback Reinforcement and assessment of correct performance

8. Assess performance Retrieval and reinforcement of content as final evaluation

9. Enhance retention and transfer to the job

Retrieval and generalization of learned skill to new situation

Design Instruction

Analyzing the requirements

Identify the outcome we wish to achieveOutcomes are not simple, it must be broken down into a hierarchy of dependent learning outcome and pre- requirementIdentify the conditions or processes internal to the learnerSpecify what external conditions or instruction must occur to achieve the internal conditions

Selecting Media

Record the learning contextRecord the characteristics of the learnersSelect Media of Instruction ( Tools )
