Description¶
The workshop planning group developed a learning system model as an expansion of the basic input-processes-output with feedback loop model from systems analysis, adapting the instructional model of Kibler, Gegala, Barker, and Miles and concepts from Davis, Alexander, and Yelon's Learning System Design. The report states that "The learning system model consists of the following seven elements: rationale, objectives, preas,sessment, instruction, self7evaluation, evalua-tion, and feedback." At two points in the model the learner decides between alternative courses of action. It was conceived as an innovative practice for the division staff and was expected to generalize to other divisional functions such as budget and conference planning.
Design Implications¶
Context¶
Requirements¶
- Participants must design an original example learning system appropriate to their divisional responsibilities, containing a rationale, objectives, preassessment, decision points, learning activities, media/resources, self-assessment, and post-assessment devices.
Constraints¶
- The model was conceived as an innovative practice for the Division of Instructional Learning Systems staff; its diffusion to actual divisional functions had not yet been observed at the time of the report.
Target Learners¶
- state department of education coordinators and curriculum development specialists
Target Learning Objectives¶
- designing learning systems and writing instructional objectives
