Robert Gagne’s Instruction Design Model; “The Nine Events of Instructions” Objective * What are the Nine Events of Instruction? * How are these events related to the learning process? Robert Gagne * American educational psychologist * Conditions of Learning * Instructional Theory * Instructional Design Model According to Robert Gagne, there are nine events that activate processes needed for effective learning. Instructional Design Model * Gagne created a nine-step process called The Events of Instruction * The events of instruction are related to the learning process * The events of instruction lead to various learning outcomes * The events of instruction support the internal processes of learning Gain Attention * Capture the attention of those learning (animated tutorial) * Stimuli that ensure reception of coming instruction Inform Learner of Objectives * Internal process of expectancy * List of learning objectives * Level of expectation for learning * What will the learner be able to perform after the instruction? * Motivate the learner to complete the lesson. Stimulate Recall of Prior Learning * Recall of existing, relevant knowledge * Retrieval to working, short-term memory * Previous experience, previous concepts * Correlate new information with prior knowledge Present Stimulus Material * Display the content * Pattern recognition; selective perception * New content (chunked, explained, then demonstrated) * Multimedia (audio, video, graphics) Provide Learner Guidance * Guidance on the new content * Chunking, rehearsal, encoding * Assist learners in order to encode information for long-term storage * Guidance strategies (case studies, examples, mnemonics) Elicit Performance * Practice (new skills or behavior) * Confirm correct understanding * Demonstrating learning * Retrieval, responding Provide Feedback * Specific, immediate feedback on learner's performance * Reinforcement, error correction Assess Performance * Post-test, final assessment * No additional coaching; feedback * Mastery of material Enhance Retention and Transfer * Determine whether or not the skills were learned * Apply the skills that were learned * Retention, retrieval, generalization
