Addie Model
Addie Model
The ADDIE model is the generic process traditionally used by instructional designers and
training developers. The five phasesAnalysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and
Evaluationrepresent a dynamic, flexible guideline for building effective training and
performance support tools. While perhaps the most common design model, there are a
number of weaknesses to the ADDIE model which have led to a number of spin-offs or
variations.
It is an Instructional Systems Design (ISD) model. Most of the current instructional design
models are spin-offs or variations of the ADDIE model; other models include the Dick &
Carey and Kemp ISD models. One commonly accepted improvement to this model is the use
of rapid prototyping. This is the idea of receiving continual or formative feedback while
instructional materials are being created. This model attempts to save time and money by
catching problems while they are still easy to fix.
Instructional theories also play an important role in the design of instructional materials.
Theories such as behaviorism, constructivism, social learning and cognitivism help shape and
define the outcome of instructional materials.
In the ADDIE model, each step has an outcome that feeds into the subsequent step.
Analysis > Design > Development > Implementation > Evaluation
Analysis Phase
In the analysis phase, instructional problem is clarified, the instructional goals and objectives
are established and the learning environment and learner's existing knowledge and skills are
identified. Below are some of the questions that are addressed during the analysis phase:
* Who is the audience and their characteristics?
* Identify the new behavioral outcome?
* What types of learning constraints exist?
* What are the delivery options?
* What are the online pedagogical considerations?
* What is the timeline for project completion?
Design Phase
The design phase deals with learning objectives, assessment instruments, exercises, content,
subject matter analysis, lesson planning and media selection. The design phase should be
systematic and specific. Systematic means a logical, orderly method of identifying,
developing and evaluating a set of planned strategies targeted for attaining the project's goals.
Specific means each element of the instructional design plan needs to be executed with
attention to details.
These are steps used for the design phase:
goals. The more organized a teacher is, the more effective the teaching, and thus the learning,
is. Writing daily lesson plans is a large part of being organized.
Goals
Teachers need to have a precise notion of educational goals / objectives / standards /
competences
Content
Lesson Plan
Content is chosen according to the level and needs of the learners. It must be interesting and
appealing to them.
Instructional procedure
The effective teacher also needs to develop a plan to provide direction toward the attainment
of the selected objectives. Teachers must decide how to sequence the teaching items
according to the methodology and approach they opted for. Sequencing may be from easy to
difficult, from known to unknown, from familiar to unfamiliar
Timing
The effective teacher certainly controls the way time is used. Effective teachers
systematically and carefully plan for productive use of instructional time.
Evaluation procedure
There should be some kind of feed back tasks to highlight lesson deficiencies.
Finally, even teachers who develop highly structured and detailed plans rarely strictly stick to
them. Such rigidity would probable impede, rather than help, the teaching-learning process.
The elements of your lesson plan should be thought of as guiding principles to be applied as
aids, but not blueprints, to systematic instruction. Precise preparation must allow for flexible
delivery. During actual classroom interaction, the instructor needs to make adaptations and to
add artistry to each lesson plan and classroom delivery.
Benefits of lesson plan
TeacherEase provides standards-based lesson planning on the web. Teachers write lesson
plans, align them to standards, check standards coverage, continuously improve lessons, and
share them with colleagues. Available to individual teachers, schools, or entire districts.
Track Standards
When writing lesson plans, teachers easily align them to standards. See which standards have
been covered and how often. State standards are preloaded. Easily understand how well
instruction covers topics on the yearly standardized test.
