Gagne's Nine Events of Instruction

Background Gagne ideas of instruction are called "conditions of learning" Broken into internal and external

Most Essential Ingredients of Teaching are. . . Presenting the knowledge Providing practice with feedback Providing learning guidance

Step 1: Gain attention Present a good problem, new situation, ask questions This helps ground the lesson, and to motivate

Step 2: Describe the Goal State what students will be able to accomplish Allow students to frame information

Step 3: Stimulate Recall Remind students of prior knowledge Show knowledge is connected Provides students with a framework that helps learning

Step 4: Present Material to be Learned For example: text, graphics, simulations, video clips, pictures Chunk information to avoid memory overload

Step 5: Provide Leaning Guidance Basically "we do" With learning guidance, the rate of learning increases

Step 6: Elicit Performance Practice Allows students to apply knowledge

Step 7: Provide Feedback Show correctness of responses Analyze learner's behavior Present a good solution to a problem

Step 8: Assess Performance Lesson must be learned first Independent practice to apply what they've learned Means of testing learning outcomes

Step 9: Enhance Retention and Transfer Inform learner about similar problem situations Provide additional practice Put the learner in a transfer situation Let the learner review the lesson Apply lessons to real-life situations

Pros and Cons Pros: very effective, well organized, demonstrates good teaching practices Cons: time, steps could be implied or combined, subject material is not always real-world applicable
