...1 Analysis of Three Instructional Design Models 2 Abstract Instructional design models provide for a systematic approach of implementing the instructional design process for a specific educational initiative (Morrison, Ross, & Kemp, 2004). This paper will briefly describe the purpose and what instructional models are followed by process of three selected models: (a) the Dick and Carey systems approach; (b) Morrison, Ross and Kemp model (also known as the Kemp model); and (c) the Three-Phase design (3PD) model. The process description for each model will serve as the foundation and supporting points required for comparing and contrasting process of the models. 1 Dick and Carey, Kemp, and Three-Phase Design models for Instructional Design Instructional design (ID) models can provide a systematic approach of implementing the instructional design process for specific educational initiatives (Morrison, Ross, & Kemp, 2004). Gustafson & Branch (1997) states that there is a wide variety of instructional design models describing the ID process created for different situations and settings (as cited in Gustafson & Branch, 2002b; Ryder, 2006). The purpose of the instructional design models offer both educational and training organizations design steps, management guidelines and teamwork collaboration options with designers, technicians and clients (Gustafson & Branch, 2002a). Specifically by definition, a model can be defined as “a way of doing something; an explicit representation...

...How the environment affects learning Dennis Skinner American Military University/COLL100 April 30, 2010 Michael Carmichael How the Environment Affects Learning This paper will discuss how our environment affects learning. We will discuss how important the environment is in the early years of one’s life in early childhood development. We will also discuss how one’s interest in learning plays a vital role in learning. We will also discuss how active learning and development plays an integral role in those years between teenager and adult and as well as what influences that has on being successful in life. We will also examine the two learning environments, home and school, and how each are changing and as well as how these two environments will play significant roles as each student discovers what’s real and what’s not real and how each help the learning process. Lastly, we will consider how the learning environment is continuing to change and how the digital age will change the way we learn and as well as the effect it will have on our future students and how it will affect the path they choose to follow their dreams. In the early years of development the environment plays as big a role in how children learn and how they development more than any other time in their life. In environments where children are not only taught that it’s ok to learn, but to also enjoy the process leads to an active learning environment where children are allowed the opportunity...

...Introduction The classroom has become a more generationally diverse environment in recent years. Sanchez and Kaplan (2014) explained that higher education institutions have increasingly shifted towards lifelong learning to accommodate the age diversity among their students. This means that teachers and instructors need to be aware of generational aspects in within the learning environment to accommodate all learners. It also brings up the question as to whether there are actual differences in learning between the different generations. In this paper theoretical and research evidence in regards to intergenerational learning is noted. The importance for instructors to be aware of whether there are actual generational differences among...

...study ICT (information and communication technologies) in education lives a life at the crossroads between evidence based policymaking, learning and the fast-changing world of technology. Key stakeholders (politicians, parents, teachers, school leaders) demand evidence of the impact of ICT derived from research, monitoring and evaluation (Friedrich and Francesc, 2009). The challenge for policymakers is (in collaboration with the research community and the educational community) to develop a sustainable knowledge base for ICT in education, in which key indicators and other sources of information are identified, which enables better insight into the use and effects of ICT for learning. Technology has been said to have impacted many different types of people in different types of environments as a dynamic communication tool. For instance, Ali and Richardson (2012) explained that technology has pervaded all aspects of society and the field of education is no exception, the learning and teaching environment has also changed drastically. Technology has impacted on teaching and learning activities, and it is now seen increasingly as an enabler of learning. Morgan (2008) added that technology is no longer the wave of the future, the future is now. This generation has been classified by Prensky (2001) as “Digital Natives” and students who have been born into and are totally immersed in an environment that is surrounded by technology. Technology provides to them a variety of useful information...

...Smart Technology for Smarter Kids Technology has proven to be a milestone in human development. It is only natural to want to incorporate this technology into our school programs and learning environment, and is now used as a means of instruction in the preschool, primary, and secondary classroom as well as beyond. Is it safe though, for the young, still developing minds of our future? These children, pre-school through primary, are around ages three- to eight-years- old. Many argue computers and other forms of technology have no place in the curriculum; whereas, the validity that teachers whom have incorporated it within the classroom feel it has enhanced the learning environment and overall, the students have developmentally progressed through documented developmental milestones at a faster rate than without the engagement of technology involved. Young children can be marked through developmental milestones; there are a known sequence of landmarks documented from childhood researchers and theorists. Exposure to certain disruption or not being correctly exposed to the applicable ideally guided assistance can prohibit these events from occurring (Feeney, et al, 2010). Technology exposure is inevitable though, especially within this twenty-first century. In addition to the introduction and development of literacy and numeracy skills and a strong emphasis on the shaping and improving of fine and gross motor skills, interaction and socialization are also key components to...
