The ADDIE and Criterion Referenced Instructional

DesignBy Bridget Blankenship

About Instructive design

What is Instructive Design?Instructional Design is the process of creating a ‘Instructional experience’ that will make the experience more effective and appealing.

History of instructive design “Not to know is bad; not to wish to know is worse.” –

African proverb

In the late 1800’s is when the study of learning really took off. Researchers like Ebbinghaus and Pavlov started to study how people forget. Other researchers such as BF Skinner started to build on these studies and created the radical behaviorist approach to learning.

History of Instructional design

However, it wasn’t until around world war II when instructional design started to take off, when educators started to develop training materials for those in the military. Historically Instructional Design is actually quite new.

The ADDIE instructional design model

According to intulogy.com “The ADDIE instructional design model provides a step-by-step process that helps training specialists plan and create training programs.”

The ADDIE Instructional Design Model consists of five components

Analysis

Design

Development

Implementation

Evaluation

Analysis Training programs require analysis and planning. To produce the most effective training you must remember three important areas of the Analysis process.

1.) Business goals

2.) Material being taught

3.) The learners capabilities

DesignDuring the design phase a specialist decides what the training should look like when it’s complete.

Development

The development phase is brought together from the information from the needs analysis phase and the decisions made in the instructional design phase.

Implementation PhaseThe Addie model provides a methodology to plan, develop, and test the course before it launches and is ready to be used.

According to intulogy.com there can be some issues that designers and trainers should be aware of during the Implementation phase.

*Establish the timetable for the course rollout*Schedule the courses, enroll learners, and reserve on-site and off-site

classrooms*Notify learners and their supervisors about the course*Select trainers and prepare them with a custom train-the-trainer*Arrange for the printer to deliver course workbooks to the class site*Ensure all sites will have internet-ready computers and arrange for

laptops to be shipped when necessary*Manage travel and expenses for the trainers and/or learners

Evaluation

The evaluation phase can create graphs and metrics. The evaluation phase shows the courses efficiency and helps locate new opportunities to improve learners performance.

Criterion Referenced Instruction

The criterion referenced instructional design is a methodology based on behavioral science principles on how people learn.

Robert F. Mager created this type of instructional model

This type of model is usually for technical training.

Benefits of CRIAccording to cepworldwide.com there are a lot of benefits for using CRI

“CRI Workshop BenefitsGuarantee Results – CRI makes sure each learner leaves with the skills required to do his or her job. Because training focuses on performance—not simply delivering content—learners are equipped to actually perform on the job.Increase Value of Training – Because CRI is truly performance-based instruction, its results are measurable and immediately observable. With improved skill mastery, CRI training participants help their organization reach productivity goals.Lower Training Costs – CRI enables learners to determine if training is the answer to performance problems and if so, how to choose the most cost-effective solutions. CRI also helps you identify when training is NOT the answer.Motivate and Inspire Performers – CRI offers ample relevant practice and feedback within a supportive learning environment. Learners leave instruction with the hard skills, confidence, and motivation to do their job.”

How are CRI and ADDIE alike?

Even if CRI and ADDIE are different in some ways they also have similarities

*Both of them are made so that they follow a Framework

*They both can be used to teach people going into a work field

*both of them are designed by teachers so that they can be used by teachers

Differences between CRI and ADDIE

*As we saw earlier ADDIE is set up in phases that need to be followed in a certain order unlike CRI which just needs to be followed in points.

*ADDIE can be changed and edited but CRI can not.
