Employing phenomenological techniques this qualitative study investigates perceptions of collaborative relationships between instructional designers and faculty at an R1 university. While past research has considered the growing involvement of instructional designers in course development, and knowledge and skills expected from an instructional designer, little attention has been paid to what constitutes an effective collaboration and how it can be developed from the perspectives of both instructional designers and faculty. Based on semi-structured interviews of faculty and instructional designers, the following four thematic categories were uncovered: (1) reasons for collaborative efforts; (2) structure of collaborative relationships; (3) supports of and barriers to collaboration; and (4) essential competencies and strategies for instructional designers and faculty in a collaborative partnership. Our findings support the existing research on the importance of collaboration between instructional designers and faculty, and spotlights instructional designers in the higher education setting. They also outline key elements of an effective relationship, including understanding the role of an instructional designer, trust and rapport building (and its components), administrative support and faculty buy-in. Suggestions are made for to how overcome potential barriers to ensure an effective and collaborative partnership. Implications and future directions for research and training programs are discussed.

Instructional theory is intended to guide instructional designers in selecting the best instructional methods for a given situation. There have been numerous qualitative investigations into how instructional designers make decisions and the alignment of those decisions with theoretical influences. The purpose of this research is to more quantitatively explore the question of how instructional designers actually use instructional planning theory to judge the usefulness of instructional methods. We asked 56 instructional designers to rate the usefulness of 31 instructional methods for six different cognitive domain content level conditions. The results show that content level has a statistically-significant influence on a designer’s judgments regarding the usefulness of an instructional method. A designer’s gender also has a statistically-significant influence on a designer’s judgments regarding methods, but a weak effect size limits this result. Overall, the results provide evidence that supports the core principles of instructional planning theory, specifically method generality. The results also provide instructional designers further guidance in selecting the most useful instructional methods for cognitive domain content levels. 相似文献

This paper argues that an emphasis on training‐for‐the‐job approaches has distracted designers from thinking about the meaning of their profession and the grand purpose of practising instructional design. Drawing from literature in the fields of sociology and educational technology, this paper synthesises discourses on civic professionalism in instructional design and technology, and proposes a conceptual framework that highlights the roles and qualities of a civic‐minded instructional designer. It is claimed that a critical discussion on civic professionalism in the field of educational technology can offer an alternative perspective on educating instructional designers, and have practical implications on instructional design and technology curricula in higher education. 相似文献

Eclectic instructional design is the process whereby a designer blends ideas from multiple learning theories to construct a learning experience that works better than a course designed from only one theoretical influence. Eclectic instructional designers are those who do not get hung up or rely consistently on any one theory for their designs. They consider learning theories and their associated methods more as a toolbox than as dogma. With this perspective, they design instruction that works better. 相似文献

Although many professions practice some type of formal peer review, similar support for increasing the quality and efficiency of instructional design products is largely informal. Most designers develop solutions in professional eommunilies-of-practice, but formal design methodologies ordained by many corporations and instructional design schools do not account for the strong influence these communities have on design decisions. This paper describes an instructional design review process that is modeled after a widely accepted practice among software developers in which peers offer feedback through “structured walkthroughs.” The instructional design review helps the practitioner develop stronger designs more quickly. provides a means to scaffold the novice designer in the vagaries of the workplace, and improves organizational memory. An artifact of a design review as well as guidelines and success factors are presented. The paper provides a summary of a formal peer review structure that has been developed and tested over the past three years at a major corporation. 相似文献

The purpose of this research was to probe the philosophical beliefs of instructional designers using sound philosophical constructs
and quantitative data collection and analysis. We investigated the philosophical and methodological beliefs of instructional
designers, including 152 instructional design faculty members and 118 non-faculty professionals. We used the Philosophy of
Social Science Inventory, a 52-item questionnaire, to measure 20 beliefs within four categories. We probed four ontological
beliefs (ontological realism, ontological relativism, physicalism, and idealism); five epistemological beliefs (epistemological
relativism, fallibilism, epistemological objectivity, rationalism, and empiricism); three axiological beliefs (ethical realism,
ethical relativism, and valueneutrality in research); and eight methodological beliefs (nomothetic, idiographic and critical
methods, scientific naturalism, humanism, and quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods). Our research questions included
(a) What are the predominant philosophical and methodological beliefs of instructional designers? (b) Do instructional design
faculty and non-faculty instructional designers, identifying with different research methodologies, hold different sets of
philosophical beliefs? and (c) What relationships exist between philosophical beliefs and age, gender, ethnicity, level of
education, and/or years of service? Overall, the philosophical profile of instructional designers can reasonably be described
as pragmatic. Belief characterizations of methodological subgroups (e.g., those identifying with qualitative, quantitative,
or mixed methods research) generally supported our hypotheses. Although demographic variables (except gender) were not singularly
important, our analyses suggest that a combination of ethnicity, gender, research preference, and level of education can be
used to predict philosophical and methodological beliefs. 相似文献

The objective of the study was to investigate the priorities instructional designers establish among data sources when they
revise written materials and the relationship of their practice to standard models of formative evaluation.
Two modules of printed instructional material were revised by each of eight experienced instructional designers under three
treatment conditions, using a counterbalanced design. Data were collected using a think-aloud procedure. The think-aloud protocol
was segmented, coded and analysed.
Results show that instructional designers were significantly more likely to incorporate their own knowledge into revisions
than to use feedback data, and when they did use feedback data, they preferred learner comments. They did not accurately assess
their use of their own knowledge or of feedback data; they thought they used feedback data more than the results showed.
These instructional designers reflected some aspects of the standard instructional design model when they revised instructional
materials, but their experience has caused many of the procedures to become internalized, so they are invisible in the protocols.

This paper reports on the findings of a questionnaire which elicited information from ninety‐nine instructional designers in Australia about their qualifications, the activities they undertake, and perceptions of their role. Over half of those surveyed have what they consider to be qualifications in instructional design. The range of activities undertaken is large. There are slight variations in the activities performed by instructional designers at universities compared with instructional designers at Technical and Further Education (TAFE) institutes. There was very little difference in the frequency of activities performed by those with instructional design qualifications and those without. The research shows that many people are confused about the role of instructional designers. There are many negative perceptions of the role held by people with whom instructional designers work and these perceptions can adversely affect the instructional designers' work. 相似文献

The instructional design process in a distance education context has been well documented within the distance education literature, although most of this literature is written from the perspective of the distance education specialist. There have been few explorations of the experiences of the academic teacher in the writing process and the relationship between an instructional designer and the writer/teacher has seldom been explored from the point of view of the writer/teacher. This paper documents a collaborative process of preparing course materials for a distance education subject on curriculum. The process is described through the eyes of both the instructional designer and the writer/teacher, so capturing the procedural aspects of the event as well as the interpersonal aspects. Many facets of the process which are normally hidden from view are included in the paper as are some of the less obvious outcomes of the collaboration. The literature which calls for a consultative relationship between instructional designer and teacher is used to analyse the observations made. 相似文献

ABSTRACT For the past two decades, there has been persistent debate around whether there is a difference between the fields of instructional design (ID) and learning design (LD). While differences in the two approaches are certainly apparent, there are cross-over points that can provide ID and LD researchers and practitioners with opportunities for dialogue about the purposes and remit of research-based practices for optimal design. Though potentially disruptive, initiating dialogues among learning and instructional designers could lead to more thorough and critical analyses of both ID and LD repertoires. Should boundary crossings occur, there is a potential for a third space for the contemplation, research, and practice of design. A goal of this article is to use the notion of Van Gogh’s Yellow House as an anchoring metaphor for the third space – a location for shared discourse, inspiration, collaboration, and challenge for a community of designers of/for learning. Using the impressionist and expressionist terminology to help elucidate the ways of thinking of designers of both traditions, this article examines the history, underlying philosophical approaches, methodologies, and design goals of ID and LD. We conclude that the emergence of a third space for design can help us move beyond the LD and ID dichotomies. We suggest that a socio-materialist perspective alleviates issues of incommensurability by acknowledging ontological multiplicity. 相似文献

Some implications of cognitive theory for instructional design 总被引：3，自引：1，他引：3
William Winn 《Instructional Science》1990,19(1):53-69
This article examines some of the implications of recent developments in cognitive theory for instructional design. It is argued that behavioral theory is inadequate to prescribe instructional strategies that teach for understanding. Examples of how instructional designers have adopted relevant aspects of cognitive theory are described. However, it is argued that such adoption is only a first step. The growing body of evidence for the indeterminism of human cognition requires even further changes in how instructional designers think and act. A number of bodies of scholarly research and opinion are cited in support of this claim. Three implications of cognitive theory for design are offered: instructional strategies need to be developed to counter the reductionism implicit in task analysis; design needs to be integrated into the implementation of instruction; designers should work from a thorough knowledge of theory not just from design procedures. 相似文献

This article reviews practice variation in the field of instructional design. First, it compares instructional designer practice as reported or observed in several classic research studies. This analysis is framed by the standards established by the International Board for Training, Performance, and Instruction competencies for planning and analysis, design and development, implementation, and management. Although no certain causal linkages exist, we briefly review some of the reasons posited in the literature to explain instructional design practice variation (lack of time and resources, control in decision making, the designer's perception of a task, underlying philosophical beliefs, and designer expertise). Limitations of the literature base are explored, followed by a proposal for an alternative view of instructional design practice variation and recommendations. 相似文献

Evidence suggests that experienced instructional designers often use heuristics and adapted models when engaged in the instructional
design problem-solving process. This study used the Delphi technique to identify a core set of heuristics designers reported
as being important to the success of the design process. The overarching purpose of the study was: (1) to examine and describe
the heuristics that guided instructional designers’ practice and (2) to identify the relationship between these heuristics
and key competencies of the discipline, as outlined by the International Board of Standards for Training, Performance, and
Instruction. Sixty-one heuristics were ultimately identified (reached consensus). All 61 aligned with at least one of the
four categories of IBSTPI, with some aligning with more than one. More specifically, 17 heuristics aligned with Professional
Foundations competencies, 17 aligned with Planning and Analysis competencies, 18 aligned with Design and Development competencies
and 10 aligned with Implementation and Management competencies. By examining instructional design heuristics, we hope to better
understand the potential genesis and/or future application of each heuristic. Results provide insights into the specific heuristics
experienced designers perceive as being effective during the ID process. 相似文献

An instructional designer’s values about instructional methods can be a curse or a cure. On one hand, a designer’s love affair for a method may cause them to use that method in situations that are not appropriate. On the other hand, that same love affair may inspire a designer to fight for a method when those in power are willing to settle for a less effective, efficient, and appealing method. The purpose of this research is to explore instructional designers’ values about methods and their willingness to sacrifice those methods in situations involving both lean and rich conditions. We asked 33 instructional designers to rate the usefulness of 31 instructional methods for No Conditions (values), Learning Domains (lean conditions), and Scenarios (rich conditions). The results show that instructional designers readily sacrifice their values for both lean and rich conditions. Furthermore, the precision of designer judgments about useful instructional methods increase as conditions become richer. Overall, the results provide evidence that supports the core principles of instructional planning theory, specifically associated with the interaction between conditions and values. The results also provide instructional designers guidance in selecting the most useful instructional methods. 相似文献

As the need for instructing a globalized workforce increases, instructional designers must embrace the constraints and the
opportunities these projects provide in order to move the field of cross-cultural instructional design (ID) forward. Cross-cultural
projects offer multiple avenues for growth in ID practice, overcoming cultural barriers, and a venue to apply and test contemporary
models, methodologies, and theories in ID. This design-based research case study employed a rapid prototyping methodology
and the constructivist ID model, Layers of Negotiation, to collect critical cultural information for the design of this cross-cultural
instruction. Instructional strategies deemed effective for instructing an unskilled workforce in Dubai, United Arab Emirates,
included job aids, situated learning and apprenticeship principles consisting of modeling, coaching and scaffolding. Use of
the constructivist ID model and instructional solution for a cross-cultural workforce for The Dubai Mall are presented. Evaluation
results indicate the success of the instructional strategies varied dependent upon worker culture, and the sequential nature
of the instructional strategies. 相似文献

This paper draws upon contingency theory to support a flexible eclectic approach to staff development in distance education. The approach utilizes the Concerns‐Based Adoption Model focussed towards developing instructional design skills in academic staff. Strategies are described for lecturers in each of the seven stages of concern. For the staff development procedures to be effective, it is argued that study materials development should take place within an infrastructure which involves the writer(s) and an instructional designer in a team. Perhaps, the main message of the paper is merely that flexible eclecticism is a desirable approach to staff development — and contingency theory offers that concept — and staff developers need to be mindful of differing staff attitudes — some of which are identified by CBAM. 相似文献

The notion of designer empathy has become a cornerstone of design philosophy in fields such as product design, human-computer interaction, and service design. But the literature on instructional designer empathy and learner analysis suggests that distance learning designers are generally quite removed from the learners with whom they could be empathizing. We describe a qualitative study conducted with practicing distance learning designers across the United States. We selected designers in varying sectors within the workforce, and interviewed our participants via videoconferencing. Our inquiry uncovered important tensions designers live with regarding empathy in practice. Designers struggle to know how much learner analysis is sufficient, which of many stakeholders to empathize with, and navigating constraints. Future work in this area could help designers practice more empathically and, in doing so, improve the learning environments they create for learners. 相似文献
