IAMSE Web Audio Seminar Series “Instructional Design – Learning Objectives; Backwards Design, Blooms Taxonomy”

Michelle Yoon PortraitInstructional Design – Learning Objectives; Backwards Design, Blooms Taxonomy
Presenter: Michelle Yoon
March 3, 12 PM ET

It is often said that medicine and healthcare is both a science and an art. Likewise, teaching is often referred to as both a science and an art, and the same can said specifically in reference to teaching in medical science education, or health professions education. But before good teaching can occur, it is important to examine the process of developing of learning experiences through systematic instructional design.

“What do you want your students to know?” “What do you want them to be able to do?” “How do you gauge or calibrate the complexity of learning?” This web audio seminar will enable participants to thoughtfully answer these questions, by introducing them to the juxtaposed perspectives of the iterative 5-step Dick and Carey model, and Wiggins & McTighe’s Backward Design Model of instruction design (ID). The session will connect these instructional design paradigms to Bloom’s Taxonomy so that participants will be able to think globally about systematic instructional design in the context of cognition or learning domains.

Participants will be introduced to designing instruction in a methodical, step-by-step, iterative way that allows them to calibrate instruction involving varying levels of complexity. This session will also allow participants to see how designing good instruction can also begin with using learning objectives and goals as a guiding map to help design specific pieces of instruction. Participants will learn how good instructional design can–and should–bridge, or align, learning objectives with assessment in the instructional process.
