Instructional Systems Design Models help enhance teaching in many ways

I'm going to try to answer this question as best as I can. I'm trying to think of the four models of instruction. The models of instruction that come to my mind are: direct, indirect, collaborative, and problem based instruction. With instruction also there are four models that we discusses in class. We discusses behavioral, information processing, social, and personal. What I am going to do is mesh four types of instruction with the four models we discusses in class.In our own "levels of learning there are many things that are associated with it. The first thing that we must understand are facts and how to retain information. The next thing in learning is that we must understand concepts and how to effectively use them. We also need to understand a student's thinking skills are how they will be in the learning process. We must also be aware to our students climate of responsibility and how active the learner can be in the process. Another thing that we must understand are critical and creative thinking of our learners. While the learner learner learns anything we must be aware of the thinking skills and activities that must take place in any learning environment. In the models of instruction listed above there are two primary ways to instruct, they are teacher centered, and student centered.
In the models of instruction that I have mentioned above there are technologies that enhance these ideas greatly. For example, anyone of these forms of instruction can be paired with with technology. Students can use certain things such as: wikis, blogs, web quest, email, and other forms of digital learning. For direct instruction a teacher can finish their lesson and start a formal blog and students can answer it directly to the teachers question. The teacher can obtain a general consensus from the class and answer the question based on the student's general knowledge and understanding of the direction of the question.
In a collaborative effort students can use a wiki like have in class to build and construct a site like we have in class with our group. The students can work together collaboratively with technology and learn from one another as well too as the learner enhances with each other. Using technology takes the pressure off of the teacher to help all the students at once, so they can work together and the teacher can focus on the students that really need extra tlc. This kind of learning model would be information processing. Students can process information and think for themselves by working with one another in class.
In an inquiry type of learning the learning is focused and driven by the student. The social aspect will be looked upon in this kind of learning. The student will formulate and take the lead in their own learning process that they will have with one another. When I think of inquiry I think of science. I think of finding answers that interest me that I have to explore on my own. For instance if a child takes a piece of celery and put it in blue dyed water one can formulate and opinion on how many days it will take for the celery to turn blue. The students will need to track day to day how much: water was needed, dye was needed, and how fast the celery turned blue. Students can use simple technology like charts on excel to see how much water, dye, and time it took to complete this project. Charts, graphs, and other items on excel can be used to complete an inquiry task.
In indirect instruction the learner is active as opposed to direct instruction. In this kind of learning a personal model will take place as students reflect upon themselves as they are learning from their selves.The teacher acts as the facilitator and students are asked to problem solve for themselves. Students need to be aware of developing their own ideas and to be able to think for themselves. Students need to observe, investigate, and form hypothesis. A good piece of technology would be to use power point with students as a teacher splits them into groups. The students have to figure out how to place their information on the power point and how they need to work together. Students can communicate to one another, and when they present their ideas to the class they have a visual to work with. Having a visual makes giving a presentation that much more easier for students.
Design models such as Assure and Addie make it easier to help achieve the educational and behavior gaps that we come across in the education world. When we are teaching to a certain number of students we need to know what their learning abilities are and the needs that they have in the classroom. The Addie model is great because it is systematic and can help attract the source of the problem that a teacher may have. When we look at our model at least we will know how to place our students in the right groups as they will be able to work towards their common goal of learning.
Inquiry learning is learning that is accomplished by the learner. When a teacher has a model like Addie they can know how to group their students so that they have achieved the highest outcome possible amongst each other. Keeping students in certain groups prevents friction and inferiority of learning together. One must understand how to effectively collaborate students amongst one another. The wonderful idea about technology is that it allows that to happen.
