The ADDIE Instructional Design Process By: Paola Davila

A: Analyze D: Design D: Develop I: Implement E: Evaluate The ADDIE instructional design model is one of the best known instructional design models. A: Analyze D: Design D: Develop I: Implement E: Evaluate

Analyze Definition: “To study or determine the nature and relationship of the parts of by analysis” (Strickland). It asks several questions: Who is the audience? What do they need to learn? What are the delivery options? What constraints exist? What is the timeline for project completion?

Analyze, cont. It is extremely important that the instructor analyze the system (department, job, etc.) to get a complete understanding of it. The instructor must build performance measures for the tasks to be completed. In addition, the instructional setting must be chosen.

Design The systematic method of research, planning, developing, evaluating, and managing an instructional process. It must be set at attaining a particular goal. Has three functions: Identifying the outcomes of the instruction. Developing the instruction. Evaluating the effectiveness of the instruction.

Design In order to effectively teach, there are five considerations to keep in mind: What are your objectives What skills, knowledge and attitudes are you trying to develop What resources and strategies will you use in your instruction How will you structure the content of your learning material How will you assess the learner’s understanding and whether objectives have been met.

Develop The development phase addresses the tools used to create instructional material. It is the process of producing the materials needed to meet the goals and objectives. This phase is a detailed plan that lists step-by-step procedures, time schedules, deadlines.

Develop In order to help the students learn the task, a list of activities should be produced. The delivery method should be chosen, whether it be through video, PowerPoint, lecture, notes, etc. It is important to review previous material so that information is not repeated. Lastly, develop the instructional coursework.

Implement During this phase, the first use of the instruction or materials are described to the learners. The instructor must be ready to face unforeseen problems like learner difficulties or instructional challenges. The tools necessary to fix any problems should be at hand.

Implement An implementation timeline must be established and the final product must be delivered. Once the final product is ready, the learning environment must be prepared. The learners must be prepared, which includes advising students on requirements, and all the tools to be used must be ready.

Evaluate The evaluation phase is a systematic process that determines the effectiveness of the instructional design. The evaluation is an ongoing process that happens at every phase of the ADDIE process. Evaluation consists of two parts: Formative: is part of each proceeding phase and determines effectiveness of each stage. Summative: is the process of gathering data following implementation in order to determine the effectiveness of the goals.

Evaluate Review and evaluate each phase to make sure it is accomplishing its goals. Perform external evaluations that will ensure that the information will be used properly. Revise the training system to make it better.
