- Instructional
Design as a Process:
- Instructional Design
is the systematic development of instructional
specifications using learning and instructional
theory to ensure the quality of instruction. It is
the entire process of analysis of learning needs
and goals and the development of a delivery system
to meet those needs. It includes development of
instructional materials and activities; and tryout
and evaluation of all instruction and learner
activities.
- Instructional
Design as a Discipline:
- Instructional Design
is that branch of knowledge concerned with
research and theory about instructional strategies
and the process for developing and implementing
those strategies.
- Instructional
Design as a Science:
- Instructional design
is the science of creating detailed specifications
for the development, implementation, evaluation,
and maintenance of situations that facilitate the
learning of both large and small units of subject
matter at all levels of complexity.
- Instructional
Design as Reality:
- Instructional design
can start at any point in the design process.
Often a glimmer of an idea is developed to give
the core of an instruction situation. By the time
the entire process is done the designer looks back
and she or he checks to see that all parts of the
"science" have been taken into account.
Then the entire process is written up as if it
occurred in a systematic fashion.
- Instructional
System:
- An instructional
system is an arrangement of resources and
procedures to promote learning. Instructional
design is the systematic process of developing
instructional systems and instructional
development is the process of implementing the
system or plan.
- Instructional
Technology:
-
- Instructional
technology is the systemic and systematic
application of strategies and techniques derived
from behavioral, cognitive, and constructivist
theories to the solution of instructional
problems.
- Instructional
technology is the systematic application of theory
and other organized knowledge to the task of
instructional design and development.
- Instructional
Technology = Instructional Design + Instructional
Development
- Instructional
Development:
- The process of
implementing the design plans.
