Which delivery system you select is based on the principle that
- not all the lessons should be taught in the same way.
-and- - that certain teaching strategies work better than others in determined circumstances.
Factors:
- the lesson goals
- the scope and sequence of the lessons,
- the availability and quality of resources,
- the background and attributes of the learners.
Goals:
- What are the are the intended behaviors, attitudes, social, and/or cognitive outcomes?
- These all tied to objectives and intended outcomes
Scope & Sequence:
- Not all content areas are efficiently taught by all delivery methods.. For example, reviews may be best done through simulations & games, but may not be appropriate for initial introduction of materials.
Learner Attributes:
- Differing learning styles and/or abilities and skill levels (i.e. reading levels).
- Non-motivated learners do not respond well in the independent study formats.
Availability and quality of resources:
- This includes, time, materials, money, and size of room where instruction is delivered.
Other Considerations:
- Schedules
- Cost limit
- Group size
- Available technology
- Is distance learning a possibility?
Resource Considerations
- The most precious resource to consider is time…. (how much is available for both the lesson and the planning)
- Student population is made up of many different learning types… a lot of hype about “learning styles”
- Less is more (KISS method)
Overriding determinations in successful implementation:
- Instructors must be able to comprehend the system that they are trying to implement (know how and why it works).
- They should be able to visualize the system (be able to clearly define teacher and student responsibilities).
- They need to have the capability of adopting the system (for example devising an evaluation instrument that properly reflects the goals of the curriculum), or and/or adapting it (i.e., making adjustments to suit the needs of the class and be conversant in its implementation).
Categories of Delivery Systems
- Independent Study (little or no outside influence.. Focuses on individual)
- Small Group Interaction (peer group interaction, security)
- Large Group Presentations (learner requires outside influence from someone in authority).
Delivery Styles
- Self-paced modules
- Textbooks/workbooks
- Computer-based Instruction
- Audio Packages
- Multimedia
- Contract Learning
- Personalized System of Instruction
Small Group Interaction (Learners are influenced by their peers)
- Discussions
- Panel Discussions
- Group Investigation
- Case Studies
- Role Play
- Simulations
- Games
- Cooperative Learning
Large Group (Focuses on economies of scale and efficiencies)
- Lectures
- Multimedia
- Distance Learning
