| - | ===== Elaboration Theory ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Elaboration theory is one of the [[cognitivism|cognitivist]] models for instructional design proposed by [[http://www.indiana.edu/~syschang/decatur/bios/biographies.html|Charles Reigeluth]] and his associates in 1970s. Very well accepted, it was offering suggestions on how to organize different types of instruction. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The key principle is that the content should be organized starting from the simplest and then increasing order of complexity and that learner has to develop a concept in which new ideas will be meaningful and well accepted. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Elaboration theory suggests instruction should be organized in the following eight strategies: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * organizing structure (conceptual, procedural or theoretical) | ||
| - | * sequencing content in increasing order of complexity | ||
| - | * within-lesson sequencing (based on type of organizing structure: for theoretically organized instruction present ideas from simple to complex, for procedures present steps in their order of appearance, for conceptually organized instructions start from more familiar and general concepts) | ||
| - | * summarizers (to review content) | ||
| - | * synthesizers (to enable easier meaningful integration of new knowledge) | ||
| - | * analogies (to enable easier relation to prior knowledge) | ||
| - | * cognitive strategy activators (images, diagrams or simply directions to mentally represent learned content) | ||
| - | * learner control (suggest learners to exercise control over instructional strategies and content) | ||
| - | |||
| - | Sequencing content within a lesson (mentioned above as the second strategy) can according to elaboration theory be: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * topical (topic is studied in depth before moving to the next one) | ||
| - | * spiral (firstly all topics are briefly introduced before going into details about each of them) | ||
