LTEC 5510 Week 4

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.

Final Entry LTEC 5220

I have learned a lot about the multi media perspective in this class.  In some ways, there is obvious.  I have learned a great deal about graphic, audio, video and web design. I seemed to have gotten my money’s worth for the Adobe Creative Suite.  Some key things that I need to keep in mind. ·          Planning is of paramount importance.  Tools like storyboarding help immensely.  ·          Use stuff out of the creative commons or the public domain. Royalty free things are good for the “real world”.  ·          Don’t be afraid to ask for help.  If not, you will have wasted a lot of time. ·          Find good help. I had great help from my parents and friends when making my videos. I was also working with Jessica Lambert, but she had to drop the class. I wish I could have been there ...

Multiple Media Perspective LTEC 5220

Designing instruction from multiple media both has is pros and cons.  Using different media formats engages different parts of the brain. In my LTEC 5300 class, cognitive psychology, we have learned about different forms of perception, attention and memory.  The more parts of the brain engaged the more likely information will stick. While text and images both might be part of the “visual” sense, both use different parts of the brain, and that makes it more effective to use them. As it has been said, a “picture is worth a thousand” words. Some things are best expressed in images. While telling someone instructions on how to drive somewhere often works, usually it is far easier to draw a map. That being said, as shown in last week’s assignment, not using any words also causes difficulties. Everyone has a different image in their head to what a sugar packet looks like.  And some people simply do not know what some objects, like sugar, look like. There are several cons to u...

LTEC 5510 Week 13

Week 13 Blog: My course is pretty much complete. Additional feedback from peer reviews will be necessary, but I don’t plan on making any drastic changes.   I have a rough draft of my job aide done, and it should be finished after I get my feedback from my partner. I assumed that the Job Aide was going to be one of the more difficult parts of this course. I don’t like writing long papers. But when I started discussing how the class worked, I found it very easy to write. The only thing I have left to do is the presentation. While part of me thinks it won’t be that difficult, I know better than to believe that. I entered this course believing that my material as a biology teacher would have made the creation of the course simple. I predicted wrong. While it was nice to have old worksheets, PowerPoints, quizzes, and links to YouTube videos in my career, that in many ways slowed me down.   Having old material made me a little complacent.   As someone teaching the sa...
