In 1977, Kemp proposed an instructional design that aims to supply answers to three questions that is considered as the essential elements of instructional designs, which are: a. What must be learned? Objectives b. What procedures and resources will work best to reach desired learning levels? Method c. How will we know the desired learning occurs?

Evaluate students’ learning by analyzing their accomplishment of the objectives to revise and reevaluate any phases of the plan that need to be improved. Figure 2.2 Kemp’s Instructional Design Models 1977 In addition, the instructional model plan covers interdependence among the eight elements. Each actions conducted to any phases will influence the others. Accordingly, the researcher is able to choose the order of the stages considering the needs of the study. The model plan can be started with whichever elements. 21
