Study Notes
The Role of Theory in Instructional Design
- Instructional designers use learning theories to inform decisions
- A vision metaphor is used to describe instructional problems
- Learning theories are used to relate different problems to theoretical perspectives, methods of analysis, and assessment
- Applying models and strategies of learning theories to design instruction
Instructional Problems
- Problems are categorized on a continuum, from training (specific tasks) to education (broad goals)
- Training problems are easier to define and have specific requirements and conditions
- Education problems are more complex, with multiple potential demands
- Preparation problems fall in between, with clearly defined ranges of needs
Learning Theory Perspectives
- Learning theories are grouped into categories like cognitive psychology, behaviorism, and social cognitive theory
- Different theoretical perspectives have different assumptions about knowledge, the role of the learner, the design of instruction, and motivational strategies
- Learning theory frameworks are summarized in figures
- These theories are valuable for understanding various learning problems
Combining Approaches
- Combining perspectives is helpful in some circumstances (situated cognition)
- Instructional design is often practitioner-centered and adaptable, not formulaic
- Situational factors drive choices of theoretical perspectives
