Chapter 8 Instructional Design (original) (raw)

2002

Abstract

Many countries worldwide are seeking improved ways of educating their people midst organising their education and training systems in order to participate in an increasingly competitive global economy. Designing effective instructional materials is one way of improving the quality of educational opportunities. Instructional design can be regarded as both a science and an art: a science because it is rooted in learning theories which in turn draw their principles from psychology, sociology, philosophy and education; and an art because the designing of instructional materials is a highly creative process. It is, therefore, understandable that no two designers will design learning materials in exactly the same way. The common concern of instructional designers, though, is the facilitation of successful learning experiences from which learners can demonstrate their newly acquired knowledge, skills and attitudes.
