| Abstract: | The Accomplishment-Based Curriculum Development system is based on ten key principles which provide a cohesive framework for the processes of human performance technology and instructional design. These ten principles are: the performance equation; the basic progression of performance; the processes of front-end analysis; the three types of behavior characteristics; logic regarding information storage and retrieval; the general tactics of instruction; the relationship of learning problems and special instructional tactics; the process of instructional design; the progression of materials development; and the relationship between analysis and evaluation. This article provides an overview of each principle, outlines the connections that link the individual principles into an integrated system of human performance technology and instructional design, and compares these principles to the work of others in the field. Finally, this article serves to document the contributions made by Joe Harless to the disciplines of human performance technology and to instructional design. |
