There are 9 stages to Dick and Carey’s Model of Instructional Design. However, these can be grouped into 3 phases. And also add a revision stage to make it a 10 step model. It is also known as Systems Approach Model. It provides a cohesive and effective tool in developing an organized unit of instruction. It is also very familiar to the ADDIE Model but the differences are the detailed and formal process that is in the Dick and Carey’s Model.

                                                                        Stage 1: Identifying Instructional Goals.

Phase 1#                                                          Stage 2: Conducting Instrumental Analysis

Stage 3: Analyzing

 

Stage 4: Writing Performance Objectives

Phase 2#                                                          Stage 5: Developing Assessment Instrument

Stage 6: Develop Instructional Strategies

 

Stage 7: Develop Instructional Materials

Phase 3#                                                          Stage 8: Designing and Conducting Formative Evaluation

Stage 9: Summative Evaluation

Brief explanation of the stages.

1.     Identifying Instructional Goals

The learner must be aware of what they will be able to do after the instruction is done. 

2.     Conducting Instrumental Analysis

It is part where the designer needs to determine about the learners. Identify the performance gap.

3.     Analyzing

Identify general characteristics of the learners like skills, experience, motivation level, demographics.

4.     Writing Performance Objectives

It consists of the description of the task or skills to be learned by learner.

5.     Developing Assessment Instrument

Tests and evaluations should be created so that the learners are able to meet the prerequisites for performing new skills. To identify the performance and progress. Also to evaluate the learning process.

6.     Develop Instructional Strategies

To create blueprint of the learning activities. To create in a sequence so that the learners will be able to make sense and also have the best learning experience.

7.     Develop Instructional and Activity Materials

To develop the actual materials to be used for instruction. Like books, videos, handouts, etc.

8.     Designing and Conducting Formative Evaluation

Use iterative design methods, such as prototypes, small field group trails, interviews with prospective learners to collect data and identify areas that need improvement in instructional materials or design.

9.     Summative Evaluation

To make proper and honest judgments of the worthiness of the instructional design. Reality check if the intended outcome was met.
