Principles Of Instruction

Evaluation skills are complex and require careful design to teach effectively. In our master’s program in Instructional Design and Performance Technology, students experienced unnecessary difficulty in our evaluation course. To facilitate students’ success, we redesigned the course using interactive media and the first principles of instruction, a comprehensive, research-based approach to creating quality teaching and learning. This article describes the obstacles identified in the initial evaluation course and how we worked to reduce their impact using interactive media and the first principles of instruction in the course redesign. We share course redesign results and make recommendations for designing evaluation courses.

Studies in Indonesian Higher Education students’critical thinking skills, have shown that they still need reinforcement. Hereby, Merrill’s First Principles of Instruction offers steps of activities to facilitate this. This article reports the results of a case study on the assessment of Indonesian Higher Education students’critical thinking skills in each step of Merrill’s First Principles of Instruction (Problem, Actication, Demonstration, Application, and Integration) during Classroom Action Research Course for students of batch 2017 of English Language Education Department. Through descriptive qualitative analysis of assessment rubric of critical thinking, it was found that the assessments given in each step of Merrill’s First Principles of Instruction could trigger the students’ critical thinking skills assisting them to manage to formulate proposal for conducting Classroom Action Research. This provides insights to craft assessment in line with Merrill’s First Principles of Instruction as to promote students’ critical thinking skills. Therefore, it could be suggested for other researchers to conduct similar research using more careful and detailed criteria of critical thinking rubric when implementing Merrill’s First Principles of Instruction.
