Discussion: View Thread

From: Tim Edlund tedlund@morgan.edu

Hi all - this Spring I've been slotted to teach a course in our new
Doctoral Program (now in its second year). The course is called
"Instructional Methods," and is one of four teaching related courses
all our doctoral students must complete as their minor field.

(The other three courses are: Learning Theory; Case Research and
Teaching, and a Teaching Practicum>

I need all the help I can get in building resources for this course.
The one time it was taught so far is not viewed as a model to build
upon. The catalog description is:

Instructional techniques, procedures, and methods, appropriate for
college-level business subjects, and theories underlying them are
discussed. Students are encouraged to focus on methods that are
particularly useful in their various areas of specialization.
Consideration is also given to such issues as goal-setting, selecting
instructional methods, measuring learning outcomes, teaching
evaluation, and the role of instructional technology.

For your guidance, following are our majors/concentrations:

Accounting, Information Systems, and Management. Management is the
rather generic version, without particular designation.

Thanks for whatever help you are able to give.

Tim,

Here are a few references for some of the better known works on
instructional design. Since these are essentially "classics", they should be
readily available at your university's library and should include plenty of
material for what seems to be an overview course. There's lots more out
there, including articles and research papers. I recommend a quick search
using the ERIC system for a few good summary articles / papers.

Tim,

Along with Jean-Marc's excellent suggestions which give an excellent
grounding in curriculum development, may I add:

I use this as a core text in a Teaching/Learning course.

Also

Alice - thank you for your extensive list of references! I'm doing my best to
acquire many of them.

You also offered to send me your course outline. I'd very much like to see
that. I can receive it as an e-mail attachment (ASCII/DOS, WordPerfect, Word,
Rtf, etc.) or by FAX 410-337-5253

Thanks again, Tim

Dear Tim:

Others have responded with good suggestions, and I would add that if you do
not already know of these, you should check out the two major professional
organizations that serve the instructional design and performance management
community:
http://www.astd.org and http://www.ispi.org
both of these have resource pages listing texts and publications that may
help you.
