Each chapter has objectives for the corresponding text chapter, structured practice exercises over the content of the text, and application exercises to real instructional problems. Includes samples of student work that may be used as model for the practical exercises.
Instructional Design is a field that has not been dealt much in detail in some countries but has gone full blown in others. Coming from a place where Instructional Design is simply one component in a program,as opposed to being the program itself, I find this book of Gagne enriching and enlightening. The process of instruction is not a random assemblage of learning activities that may have its own individual value but becomes nothing when put together for no particular intended purpose.
Principles of Instructional Design is a comprehensive yet succinct resource for this crucial component of education.
This indeed the best guide book on instructional design. This book travel on 9 instructional events from planning instructions to execution which touch base on setting goals, learning objectives, need analysis, instruction sequencing and assessments. Must read category book!
Good for ID principles. I think it can get rough to understand sometimes but I think that some of that is me deliriously reading this at 1am after working on my ID project for 5 hours and reading for another 6. But again, great for reference.
