As
one progresses through the ADDIE model in designing one’s course, it is
imperative to reflect at every stage and also evaluate the work one has done so
far. In this analysis, the instructor must evaluate his/her Design Plan and
address any challenges or concerns one gets to spot while developing or
implementing the Plan.
Browsing
through several SlideShare.Com documents on the ADDIE instructional design
model, I came across the following slide presentation that deepens or develops
the issue of design a bit more, and that clarifies certain concerns one may
have while beginning to work with this methodology.
The
analysis phase is crucial in understanding who the audience is. But we cannot
let out what the behavioral outcome is going to be. For that reason is very
important to analyze the learning constraints and delivery options that are
needed to guide students towards the accomplishment of one of the course’s
learning outcomes.
What
I definitely needed to visualize when initially working with the ADDIE method
was the visual and technical design strategy that match the instructional
strategies and the behavioral outcomes written in one’s objectives. In this
second phase, with this information I could clearly see the scope of what I
want students to achieve.
While
working on the Develop Phase, I concluded that at times it will be important to
develop materials for the students, but the very first thing to do is to review
the existing material so I do not have to reinvent the wheel. Once I have these
things clear (the materials), it is now the right time to develop instructional
courseware to make it viable to start training one’s students.
Prior
to the implementation phase, it is a must to create or design a “training
session” for the students. But at the same time, I need to think that I must
self-train myself to fully understand the course curriculum, learning outcomes,
method of delivery and testing procedures to be able to work with all students
evenly.
But
if all parts are important and crucial in the ADDIE model, the evaluation phase
is –in my personal opinion- the most transcendental of all. Here is where the cyclical
process starts again in the search for the best teaching practice that fully
fits the course and the students.
