The 9 Events
*
*
*
*
*
(1) gaining attention (reception)
(2) informing learners of the objective (expectancy)
(3) stimulating recall of prior learning (retrieval)
(4) presenting the stimulus (selective perception)
(5) providing learning guidance (semantic encoding)
(6) eliciting performance (responding)
(7) providing feedback (reinforcement)
(8) assessing performance (retrieval)
(9) enhancing retention and transfer (generalization).

An Example: Class Today
1.
Gain attention – not so hard with adults
2.
Identify objective – Agenda, guiding questions for readings
4.
Recall prior learning – Ask what “noise” you have experienced in the past.
Present stimulus – PowerPoint, lecture
5.
Guide learning- discussions, examples
6.
Elicit performance – digital camera activity (yet to come)
7.
Provide feedback – show photos, discuss
8.
Assess performance- on midterm
3.
9.
Enhance retention/transfer – final question at the end of this PowerPoint,
referring to these concepts in the future and relating them to new things we will
learn

12
Why is this important?



Helps in planning instruction
Helps in offering instruction
Provides a blueprint for designing
instructional environments

13
Dale’s Cone of Experience


Verbal symbols means
a lecture
You can probably figure
out the rest of them
