Week 4 – Developing Assessment Instruments • Planning Instructional Strategy

Week 4 – Developing Assessment Instruments • Planning Instructional Strategy

Overview

We will begin this week by exploring four types of criterion-referenced tests including entry skills tests, pretests, practice tests, and posttests. We will discuss why, when, and how to incorporate criterion-referenced tests into the learning design process. In addition, we will learn how to design and develop tests that are suitable for learners and performance objectives.

Then, we will focus on instructional strategy and how to engage students in learning. We will review Gagne’s Conditions of Learning and Keller’s ARCS mode which will be helpful when planning instructional strategies. We will also examine how to design or choose learning components according to learners’ maturity and ability levels.

Objectives

After completing this week, you should be able to:

• Discuss the four categories of criteria for developing criterion-referenced tests.
• Assess the five learning components of an instructional strategy.
• Design a learning activity and teaching strategy that aligns with learning objectives.
• Create assessments that align with learning objectives.
• Evaluate how the ARCS model can be used in instructional design.

3. Participate in the Week 4 Discussion: Linking Objectives, Strategies, Assessment
4. Submit Design Document Part 2

ASSIGNMENT 1 This will be 2 pages and 1 reference

Week 4 Discussion: Linking Objectives, Strategies, Assessment

For this week’s post, you will be working within your Peer Feedback Groups.

By Wednesday, midnight EST, please post the following:

1.  Objective (pick ONE from your module)
2.  Instructional Strategy (activity, teaching strategy, etc.) linked to this objective.
3.  Assessment linked to this objective (how will you assess this objective)

Give feedback to all members of your group by Saturday, midnight EST.

NOTE:  Keep in mind that D&C use the phrase practice tests and / or tests—-but this does not mean it the assessment need to take the form of a traditional test.  It may be a discussion response, an interactive element in an online tutorial, a written response in a workshop, etc.

Instructions

For more detailed instructions, review the attached assignment pdf.

A Design Document is a blueprint for the learning design and development process. This document functions as a checklist of all of the components and milestones for building a learning module. Every instructional design department or group has their own design document that is relevant to their industry, school, or methodology.   In this class, the design document has been divided into three sections to coincide with specific components of the Dick & Carey Model. Each section of the design document that you submit (Part 1, 2, & 3) will build upon each other and relate directly to the completed final project.

Connection to the Dick & Carey Model: Design Document Part 2 covers chapters 5-­‐8  of the book, looking at Learner Analysis, Performance & Learning Context, Performance Objectives,  & the Assessment Plan.

Design Document Part 2:  Required Elements (Please make a heading for each element in your document. Also, submit your Design Document Part 2 in MS Word format (e.g., .doc or .docx).)

Items in yellow have been previously submitted-­‐-­‐-­‐they are to be included in this document. If major changes have occurred since the original submission, be sure to note that in the Project Overview. If no major changes have been made, simply repeat the sections from DD1 and add the new components on.

1. Project Overview
2. Identification of your Instructional Goal
3. Creation of a Goal Analysis Diagram including:
   • Main Steps in the Goal
   • Subordinate Skills
   • Entry Skills (minimum of 1)
4. Learner Analysis
5. Learning Context
6. Performance Context
7. Performance Objectives
8. Assessment Plan
9. IDer Reflection

Be sure to review the following examples:

• Example DD2—-Orndorf
• Example DD2—-Pike
• Example DD2—Hilpipre
• Example DD2—Sajdera
