INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN questions and
answers with solutions 2025
Morningside Academy - ANSWER A school in Seattle, Washington founded by Dr. Kent Johnson
in 1980 to provide scientifically-based academic and social programs for children and youth.
3 Phases of Instruction - ANSWER Acquisition/Establishment, Practice for fluency, Application
Selectionist Approach to Understanding Human Behavior; by B.F. Skinner - ANSWER Emphasizes
the function of particular behaviors in meeting environmental contingencies.
Structuralist Approach - ANSWER Emphasizes form and process
Selectionist Approach by John Dewey - ANSWER Emphasizes natural influences over learning,
taken from the student's current activity, goals and values system. Students select subject
matter to learn, student initiated research. Learning becomes reinforcing in project based
learning.
The Morningside Model of Generative Instruction - ANSWER A continuum that begins with a
more technological approach, with the teacher fully in charge of seeding the repertoires of the
naive learner with generalized imitative "how to" repertoires. Once mastered, the student
switches to the Deweyian of student centered learning.
Instructivism - ANSWER refers to a set of educational practices consistent with the philosophy
and finding of behavioral psychologist. The teacher is in charge of instruction and learning. If the
student isn't learning the teacher isn't teaching.
Constructivism - ANSWER philosophy and findings of developmental psychologists. An approach
that favors student exploration of content and processes in authentic contexts.
, Generative Instruction - ANSWER Each new complex behavior emerges in an evolution from
previous learning.
Generativity - ANSWER Epstein's research with pigeons who received instruction in component
skills successfully solved problems that took all those component skills to solve. The emergence
of novel behaviors in humans was his later work. Spontaneous (unprompted) interconnection of
existing repertoires to solve a problem.
Contingency Adduction - ANSWER New contingencies or performance requirements may recruit
performances learn under other contingencies. The learner engages in behavior in a new setting
that has earned reinforcement in a previously encountered situation.
Markle and Teimann (1967) System of Instruction - ANSWER 1. Objective
2. Content & Task Analysis
3. Criterion Test
4. Entry Repertoire
5. Instruction (3 phases of learning)
6. Performance Data
Objectives - ANSWER The first component of Markle and Tiemans system of
instruction=instructional designers begin with clearly stated goals and objectives that the
learner is expected to achieve.
Content and Task Analysis - ANSWER second component of system of instruction=conducted for
the purpose of identifying curricular tasks on which mastery of terminal objectives hinges.
Criterion Test - ANSWER Third component of system of instruction=represent stated outcomes
and have social validity.
