ASSURE Model (Instructional Design)

ASSURE MODEL

(Heinich, Malenda, Russell and Smaldino (1996))

This model assumes that instructional will be delivered using lecture/textbook only. It allows for the possibility of incorporating out-of-class resources and technology into the course materials. It ASSURE model is:

1. A procedural guide for planning and delivering instruction that integrates technology and media into the teaching process
2. A systematic approach to writing lesson plans
3. A plan used to help teachers do an authentic assessment of student learning
4. A model that can be used by all presenters

It has 6 major steps in an instructional planning process:

• ANALYZE LEARNERS

Before designing a lesson plan, we must know whom you are teaching that includes three factors: General Characters, specific entry, & learning style

• STATE OBJECTIVES

The statement describes what the learners will get and do as after learning process as a result of instructional design. Things to keep on you mind when you are going to write your objective: Be specific, state terms of what student will be able do, & including conditions and degree of acceptable performance.

The objectives are descriptions of the learning outcomes and written using ABCD format. They are A (Audience), B (Behavior), C (Condition), and D (Degree)

• SELECT METHODS, MEDIA & MATERIALS

The teacher should have select the methods, media and material well and systematically after knowing the the learners' learning style. Here are something to do in selecting methods, media and material: Select available materials, modify existing materials, & design new materials

• UTILIZE MEDIA & MATERIALS

It is important to preview all materials before assigning them to the students. In utilizing media and material, there are some steps: 1. Preview materials, 2. Prepare the materials environment 3. Provide the learning experience

• REQUIRE LEARNER PARTICIPANT

The main purpose of learning is the existence of learners' participation to the materials and media that teacher present. To get each learners actively and individually involved in the lesson by giving them such as GAMES, GROUP WORK, PRESENTATION, SKIT, DISCUSSION, etc.

• EVALUATE & REVISE

It is important to develop the quality of learning. It also can be based on three steps: 1. Evaluate learners' performance, 2. Evaluate media component, 3. Evaluate instructors' performance
