History of Instructional Design

  • World War II

    World War II
    During WWII, training for military services was developed by prominent psychologists, such as Robert Gagne, Leslie Briggs, etc.​ Knowledge of testing and evaluations were applied to flight training programs. (Reiser, 2001).
  • Robert B. Miller

    Robert B. Miller developed projects for the military applying task analysis methodology (Reiser, 2001).
  • The Science of Learning and the Art of Teaching

    The Science of Learning and the Art of Teaching
    B.F. Skinner published his article titled, The Science of Learning and the Art of Teaching," discussing human learning and effects of instructional materials (Reiser, 2001).
  • Programmed Instruction

    Programmed Instruction
    B.F. Skinner develops "teaching machines" that focuses on principles: "learners should be active; on spot feedback; gradual steps; self-pacing; learner verification (Pappas, 2014)."
  • Bloom's Taxonomy

    Bloom's Taxonomy
    Benjamin Bloom published the "Taxonomy of Educational Objectives" which discusses cognitive domains and expected to learn​ outcomes (Reiser, 2001).
  • Period: to

    Early Instructional Design Models

    Early ID models were developed that included concepts such as "task analysis, objective specification, and criterion-referenced testing (Reiser, 2001)."
  • Robert Mager

    Robert Mager
    Robert Mager wrote "Preparing Objectives for Programmed Instruction" which discusses how educators should write objectives. (Reiser, 2001).
  • Robert Glaser

    Robert Glaser
    Robert Glaser coined the term "criterion-referenced measures" used in assessments to test the entry level behaviors of students (Reiser, 2001).
  • The Conditions of Learning

    The Conditions of Learning
    Robert Gagne published his work titled The Conditions of Learning, discussing the five domains of learning outcomes: "verbal information, intellectual skills, psychomotor skills, attitudes, and cognitive strategies (Reiser, 2001)."
  • ADDIE Model

    ADDIE Model
    The ADDIE model is a popular model used by ID designers utilizing​ five phases of instruction: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE Model, 2013).
  • Dick & Carey Model

    Dick & Carey Model
    Dick & Carey Model is developed as a systematically designed instructional model (Reiser, 2001).
  • Period: to

    ID Redirection

    The use of computers for instruction became increasingly popular and was used to "automate some instructional design tasks (Resier, 2001)."
  • Constructivism

    Constructivism
    Views for learned shifted to constructivism which required learners to: "solve complex and realistic problems; work together to solve those problems; examine the problems from multiple perspectives; take ownership of the learning process; and become aware of their own role in the knowledge construction process (Resier, 2001)."
  • Distance Learning

    Distance Learning
    The use of the internet increased the demand to deliver instruction that is accessible from anywhere. (Reiser, 2001).
