Class Reflections and Model Update


Romi advocates a systemic approach in his book to the development of the instruction. Being systemic implies taking into consideration all the factors that may be contributing to a particular situation. A systemic view attempts to see how the decisions are influenced by, and also influence the related “macro-level” decisions that are taken at a more general level, and also resultant “micro-level” decisions that have to be taken in order to implement whatever we deicide.

I’m very interested in Molenda, Pershing & Eeigeluth’s “Program Design and Development-chapter 13” in the module 7, because their ISD model and my ID model have the similar concentration -- that is the business system. They mentioned that “the changing business environment forced instructional designers begin to focus on the business impact of their work, and caused them to expand that boundaries of their models to incorporate features of the larger environment that affect and are affected by instruction”. “For training to be transferred and applied to the workplace it must be accompanied by changes in the work place, such as job redesign, incentive systems, supervisor support and new tools…Non-training interventions, such as job aids, self-directed work teams have to be developed along with training interventions…”

This chapter makes me consider how to use the systemic approach to develop my ID model. Here is my updated model.

How do the non-training interventions affect your model?

What type of instructional strategies can be employed in your model?
