1. The learning environment includes the space but not the facilities in which learning takes place.
2. Myers and Briggs did extensive work matching learning styles to a variety of factors, including the physical environment.
3. The Design-Plan-Act system is a three-part system that is designed to help teachers plan the learning environment and activities.
4. An effective model for designing instruction systematically is known as the DID model. 5. Probably the most influential theorist to develop a model for the systematic design of instruction is Robert Gagné.
6. Feedback that occurs while learning is still going on results in changes during instruction. This type of feedback is known as formative evaluation.
7. One of the first steps in the DID instructional design model is to analyze the background and characteristics of the learners.
8. The second step in the DID process is to write performance objectives.
9. Teaching methods and media are essentially the same thing.
10. An effective and experienced teacher will find the time to prepare each lesson using a detailed instructional design model, making sure that each step is fully documented and followed.
11. A lesson plan will follow the same general steps as the instructional design model.
12. Teaching and learning, at their core, are simply processes of good (i.e., effective) communication. 13. According to Dunn and Dunn, changes to the physical environment have little impact on student learning.
14. Unlike the Gagné model, the DID model does not follow a systems design in planning instruction.
15. The DPA system includes a design phase, a plan phase, and an action phase.
16. In the “Know the Learners” step of the DID model, a teacher should focus primarily on IQ scores on standardized tests.
17. Formative feedback is feedback that occurs at the end of an
