Week 4 Blog
Using UNT libraries databases
locate an instructional design model with which you are not currently familiar.
In your Blog answer and discuss the following:
·
What
was the model
·
What
is the point of the model?
·
How
is the model different from what you already know? How is it the same?
·
Is
this model something you may use? Why or why not?
·
How
is an ID model different from a theoretical model (i.e.
social constructivism)? Why is this distinction important?
·
Do
you think such a differentiation will matter for a client?
The ASIE model is designed to help students develop “21st-century”
learning skills (Zain, 2017) . These skills can be
summed up into “4Cs”: critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and
creativity. ASIE is an acronym for the major
components of the model, “Analyze, Strategize, Implement and Evaluate” (Zain, 2017) . In the analysis phase, instructional designers
are encouraged to use a planning mechanism called the Multiple Integration
Worksheet (MIW). This worksheet provides
“unique features” designed to help instructors with the “formulating and
integrating [of] instructional items” (Zain, 2017) . In the strategizing phase of development, the
emphasis is made on matching instructional tools with the appropriate higher
learning skills in learners. Implementation
of an instructional design strategy is where actual lessons are designed. The evaluation
component happens after the design is implemented to improve the lesson for future
use.
When looking at this model from a big picture perspective, there isn’t
too much difference between this model and the general model that we have used
to create lessons in this master’s degree program. We want to plan our lessons first, implement
it, and then analyze how effective the program is for future implementations of
the design. The emphasis on trying to match a learner’s profile with appropriate
teaching strategies is great. With today’s
diverse classrooms, this analysis is difficult.
The need for professional learning communities (PLC) is encouraged in
this article, and not necessarily mentioned in instructional design models.
While planning, strategizing, and reflection will be used in my
project for this class, I do not plan to use the multiple integration worksheet
suggested in this model. My experience
in the classroom has shown me that it is difficult to get a true “learner’s
profile” in today’s classrooms when you have special ed students mixed with English
Language Learners and gifted and talented students. Moreover, I find that the
predict, observe, explain, and evaluate (POEE) described in Mamun, Lawrie, and Wright’s
article a more useful model for science instruction (2020)
As for the instructional design models vs theoretical models’
question, there are several answers. Theoretical
models like constructivism tend to focus on learning in general. For example, the
social constructivist theory isn’t just limited to the classroom. Students
learn a lot outside the classroom as well.
Instructional design theories, often based on a theoretical model, are
used to provide an organized system for instructors to guide a student’s
learning experience. The ASIE model’s main organization system comes from the Multiple
Integration Worksheet. In the long run,
the clients are less concerned with the theory used to create a learning plan
and more concerned with its results. However,
instructional design theories can be used to help articulate the successes of an
instructional course.
