Instructional Design and The ADDIE Model

Welcome to part one of a four part series about instructional design and the ADDIE model. This week we looked at a number of instructional design models. ADDIE stands for: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. During the analysis phase, a needs assessment is conducted, a set of learning objectives are created, the intended audience is identified, and the level of knowledge for the audience. In the design phase a storyboard is created which id the blueprint for the learning module. In the development phase, the lesson and any additional materials are created. The implementation phase is where the lesson is delivered to the audience. During this phase is also when the effectiveness of the training is evaluated. In the last phase, the evaluation phase, formative and summative assessments are given. Based on the feedback and the results the lesson is revised. addie model
Gustafson and Branch (2002) write that while some might argue the ASSURE model “is not a complete or formal instructional development model, teachers can readily identify with the systematic planning process it describes” (p.42). ASSURE stands for: Analyze learners, State objectives, Select media and materials, Utilize media and materials, Require learner participation, and Evaluate and revise. ASSURE looks at the learner in more detail. It looks at their previous experience and current knowledge level. This model can be used in conjunction with the shift from instructor-centered classrooms to learner-centered classrooms.assure model
According to Gustafson and Branch (2002) the PIE model’s “focus is on the classroom instruction created and delivered by the same individual or small group with an emphasis on using media and technology to assist them” (p.44). PIE stands for: Planning, Implementing, and Evaluating. This model supports a more learner-centered classroom. The planning phase looks at the role of the learner in the lesson and what their previous experience and current knowledge level is. During the implementing phase, the lesson is delivered with technology as a tool for delivery and learner engagement. In this phase the learner is in the driver’s seat through solving problems and class projects. In the evaluating phase, formative and summative assessments are given to evaluate the lesson and the learners. pie model
In my educational environment I tend to use the PIE model over ASSURE or ADDIE. PIE takes the learner-centered approach which is what my classes are created around. To properly engage my students, I use a series of case studies where they have to solve problems using technology as an aide in problem solving. My students use their smartphones constantly throughout the day. I use those smartphones in my class to engage and motivate the students. They are told all day long to put their phones away and when I tell them to take them out to use on the assignments their eyes light up and the engagement in the classroom increases. I also use the PIE model due to time constraints. I am generally given 48 hours notice before teaching a new class. The planning phase of the PIE model is the most in line with my tight deadline. I have to look at the students’ previous knowledge including technology level, their previous experience in terms of type of instruction received, and what material I need to cover. By addressing these items, students are more likely to be engaged in the lesson and more motivated to come to class and be successful.
