Instructional Design of Interactive Multimedia Theories of Learning

h. Instructional Design of Interactive Multimedia

Berger Kam in Taylor 2004 define instructional design as a systematic development of instructional description using learning and instructional theory to ensure the standard of instruction. It is the process of analysis of learning needs and goals and the development of a delivery system to meet the needs. It contains development of instructional materials and activities, tryout, and evaluation of all instructions and students activities. There are many procedures which is used to develop an interactive multimedia, one of them is procedure that is proposed by Taylor 2004. The procedure known as ADDIE Model can be shown in the following figure: Figure 2.2. Instructional Design Proposed by Taylor 2004 1. Analysis In this step, the problem is identified by conducting needs analysis in order to know what the learner should know in the setting. 2. Design In this step, the information from the needs analysis are used as the guideline to develop and manage the materials of the learning multimedia. Designing course grid and flowchart are taken place in this step. 3. Development In this step, the materials and the media which will be used are chose. Then, the appropriate materials are developed into an interactive learning multimedia using a special software packages complete with audio visual media. 4. Implementation In this step, the interactive learning multimedia developed is tried out to the learners in order to know whether it is effective and efficient for the learners. 5. Evaluation In this step, the interactive learning multimedia is evaluated for its efficiency, effectiveness, value, and worth. After the interactive learning multimedia has been evaluated then it should be revised, the revised draft is called the final product.

i. Theories of Learning

1. Behaviorism Theory Mishra Sharma 2005: 117-118 state that behaviorism is the result of a stimulus-response process. Learning is seen to be a passive way where the subject tries to adapt to the environment. Taylor 2004 adds that behaviorists view the teachers’ role as one of changing behavior by setting up the situations while learning is reinforced by the need responses being shown. 2. Constructivism Theory Mishra Sharma 2005: 118 state that contructivism is really different from behaviorism theory. It is based on the hyphotheses that subject constructs their personal knowledge through interaction with the environment. In the constructivist learning model, the subject attempts to examine questions, formulates hyphoteses, finds ways to verify the hyphoteses, communicates with the environment, redirects the results of experiences, and reconstructs intellectual structures, mind forms to integrate them with new data. 3. Cognitivism Theory Taylor 2004 state that cognitivists believe that learning occurs when the learners process the information. In 1920’s, Jean Piaget began a research program that played a big part of cognitive theories’ development. He developed his theory by watching and observing children. His theory used the an idea that when children learn then they will build and develop cognitive structures like mind maps or linked concepts in their response to experiences in their environment. Jerome Bruner in Taylor 2004 also had an influence in the educational thinking in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. He is associated with the term ‘discovery learning’. He states that there are three components in learning, they are: 1 acquisition of new information; 2 transformation of information; and 3 evaluation. Cognitivism is suited to asking of scenarios. The participants are asked a set of questions following a scenario. The roles of the questioner to guide the participants to the next questions and facilitate them to learn and reflect are very important. New information is acquired, transformed, and evaluated by the participants through the scenarios.
