Abstract

As educators we need to ensure that the learning is understood in a clear way, learning is consistent and that the learning can be evaluated the model that helps us with this is the ADDIE model. Instructional designers are given the very clear and measureable outcomes by using the ADDIE model allowing them the opportunity to be guided by the stages when designing the instruction.

Introducing the Five Stages of the ADDIE Model

Systematic approach is used in the designing of the instructional process. The "system" approach to designing instruction is the interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements that form a whole. These stages of the ADDIE model creating a specific order of events enables us to deliver a learning experience that is clear, consistent and measureable.

The ADDIE model has five stages that determine the successfulness of the learning process. The five stages of this model are: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Instructional Design Systems central element is the ADDIE model. The importance of the instructional design system is creating an instructional experience in which can enable the learners achieve the instructional goals (Allen, 2006.

The first stage of instructional design process is analysis. Analysis is when the instructional designer determines the needs and constraints of the instructional process, the audience it is targeting, knowledge, and any other elements to be included by the instructional designer to complete the instructional design (McGiff, 2000). In this stage, the designer of the instructional design is liable for researching the present performances of learning, and providing a list of tasks for the curriculum. When the list is made designers must keep in mind their audience's knowledge, abilities, and skills. During the analysis stage the gap is seen between what one know versus what they are required to know. In this stage of the ADDIE model/curriculum formation, some samples may be taken such as: needs assessments, or task analysis.

. The second stage of instructional design process is the design phase. The main duty of the designer in this phase would be determining how the required education will be received by the audience. The designer will develop a plan of action to which also includes what methods as well as media will be used in the instruction. It is very important that the instructional objectives are developed, then reviewed, as well as analyzed.
