Act as a facilitator and do not “talk at”, but “ask of” adult learners!

Instructional Model

“An instructional model acts as a blueprint for teaching!”

(Albemarle County Public Schools, 2016)

Traditional and Non-Traditional Models• Traditional Models:

- The ADDIE Model- Bloom’s Taxonomy

• Non-Traditional Models:- ARCS Model of Motivation- The Action Mapping Model

Traditional Model - The ADDIE Model• Career and Technical Education training development model• Premise: Training will impact job performance• Five steps to the model:

- Analysis- Design- Develop- Implementation- Evaluation

(Learning-Theories.com, 2016)(Chevalier, 2016)

Traditional Model - Bloom’s Taxonomy

• Design and Evaluative Model for Learning• Cognitive Model with six levels• Premise: Each level increases in

difficulty & must be attained before a learner can move to the next level

• The highest levels are evaluating & creating

(businessballs.com, 2016)

Traditional Models – The ADDIE Model and Bloom’s Taxonomy (Continued)

• Application Environment: Both models can be used in a traditional education environment or career training environment.

• Align with Knowles’s principles of need to know, readiness to learn, and life experiences.

• Facilitator would provide support through skill set development, but with adult learners as partners in the experience.

• Facilitator would introduce elements of Critical Thinking through topical discussions where learners are actively sharing experiences.

• Facilitator would use video and movement activities to meet the needs of multiple modalities within the environment.

Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy – Nursing Education

• The Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy provided the cognitive design model needed for effective continuing education and transfer of knowledge for nursing education.

• Knowles’s principles of need to know, life experiences, and desire for relevancy in training were mentioned in the journal.

(Su & Osisek, 2011)

Non-Traditional Model – ARCS Model of Motivation

• Based on four elements:

- Attention – role play, humor, attention grabbing statement

- Relevance – must see value in activity

- Confidence – encouragement from facilitator

- Satisfaction – facilitator reinforces relevancy

Non-Traditional Model -ARCS Model of Motivation (Continued)

(Merriam & Bierema, 2016)

Non-Traditional Model -The Action Mapping Model

• Module designed for training and education• Premise: Measurable goal focused, interactive

learning process, and encouragement to learn from mistakes.

• Focus: Goal helps learner to take action now!

(eLearning Industry.com, 2016)

Non-Traditional Model -The Action Mapping Model (Continued)

• Application Environment: Classroom & Online• Model aligns with Knowles’s principles of adult

learning.• Action Mapping appeals to visual, auditory, and

kinesthetic learning modalities.• Facilitator encourages and provokes thought by

questioning and encouraging learners.• Analysis process and encouragement to learn from

mistakes weaves into Critical Thinking and Reflection.
