I understand and apply established instructional design models as practical tools, not as academic labels. Models such as ADDIE, SAM, Agile learning design, Backward Design, Dick and Carey, and Kemp provide structure for analyzing needs, designing instruction, developing content, testing materials, and improving learning outcomes.
|
|
I use ADDIE as a disciplined framework for analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation, especially when training must support system implementation, business process change, compliance expectations, or operational readiness.
|
|
I understand iterative approaches such as SAM and Agile learning design, where early prototypes, SME review, learner feedback, and rapid refinement are more useful than waiting until the end of a project to discover whether the content works.
|
|
I use Backward Design principles by starting with the desired performance outcome, then building the learning path, practice activities, documentation, and assessment approach around what learners need to be able to do.
|
|
I apply lesson-level design concepts such as Gagné’s Nine Events of Instruction, Merrill’s Principles of Instruction, scenario-based learning, problem-based learning, and performance-based learning to make training more than a sequence of slides.
|
|
I use Bloom’s Taxonomy and related learning-science concepts to distinguish between awareness, understanding, application, analysis, and performance. That distinction matters when deciding whether content should be a reference, a job aid, a demonstration, a practice activity, or a formal training module.
|
|
I understand evaluation models such as Kirkpatrick’s Four Levels, Phillips ROI, Brinkerhoff’s Success Case Method, and LTEM as ways to think about whether training was delivered, understood, applied, and valuable in the real work environment.
|
|
I do not treat instructional models as checklists to impress people. I use them to bring order to the work, ask better questions, make better design decisions, and create learning materials that help people perform.
