The ADDIE Model

 


The ADDIE Model is considered the basic model of instructional design that contains five components. It is an abbreviation of the terms Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Although it is stepwise process, it is not supposed to be a strict code to be followed. Looking at the dynamics and nature of the model it can be treated in other ways than just a linear process.

I. Analysis

In this phase, we should first determine the needs for which instruction is the solution.  Conduct an instructional analysis to determine the target cognitive, affective, and motor skill goals for the course.

We also determine what skills the students are expected to already possess in order to anticipate the impact of the learning. Also carefully analyzing the available time and how much can be accomplished within that period of time.

 

II. Design

The next phase we should convert our course goals into performance outcomes, and objectives.

We determine the instructional topics or units and how much time should be assigned for them. Align the units and topics according to a sequence. Defining lessons and learning activities for each unit will also help us visualize our path. Develop specifications for assessment of what students have learned.

 

III. Development

After the designing phase, we need to make decisions regarding the types of learning activities and materials. Preparation of materials and activities take actual place in this phase. After the materials are made it needs to be tested out. This process will help us to revise, refine, and produce materials and activities. Teacher’s materials are also made during this phase.

 

IV. Implementation

In this phase, we provide all the materials and activities to the teachers and students so that they can use it. Marketing is necessary. By providing the materials that will be finally used by the stakeholders we can get ready of our next phase.

 

V. Evaluation

Finally, we need to implement plans for student evaluation, program evaluation. And also plan accordingly to evaluate and prepare for revision or any changes that we required.
