Choose an ID Model

To choose an appropriate ID model for a given situation, I think I will consider the following factors:
1. The context of the model, whether the context is K-12; higher education; business or government.
2. The type of tasks/knowledge, procedural (knowing how) or declarative (knowing that), the model in intended to support. Procedural model tends to focus on short sequences, practice with correct feedback, criterion-referenced evaluation, etc., while the declarative model tends to emphasize discovery-type instruction, norm-referenced evaluation, etc. Determine the knowledge that the model is going to serve can help me create more effective ID model.
3. Required Expertise. The competency of the practitioner who attempts to apply and/or develop my ID model needs to be considered. The model provide step-by-step description of the process of designing instruction which would be more useful for a novice or inexperienced practitioner to employ, while the model provides broad heuristics which might be more appropriate for an expert practitioner.
4. Level. The level of the instruction should be well considered. Depending on the size of the target population, the instruction level can be: module, lesson, course, institutional and mass.
5. The five phases of ADDIE model —Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. These five phases will become the guideline for me to build my ID model.

I don’t think I will choose one specific model that I have leant for the particular situation; instead, I think will take appropriate pieces from different models in order to fit the situation.
