Assignment 5 -- Systems Approach Model for Designing Instruction

The theory "Systems Approach Model for Designing Instruction" by Walter Dick and Lou Carey explains the Dick and Carey model for instructional design. This model breaks down the instructional material in smaller components, and instruction is targeted to the skills and knowledge that needs to be taught.

Elements of the Dick and Carey model include:

• Determining instructional goal
• Analyzing the instructional goal
• Analyzing learners and contexts
• Writing performance objectives
• Developing assessment instruments
• Developing instructional strategy
• Developing and selecting instruction
• Designing and conducting formative evaluation
• Revising instruction
• Summative evaluation

This model is "based on the idea that there is a predictable and reliable link between a stimulus and the response that it produces in a learner."

This model seems like it will be easy to follow -- but we will certainly find out as we proceed through our instructional design project!!!
