Instructional Planning

This guide explores the importance of instructional design in promoting student retention and engagement in liberal arts education. Based on the Wabash National Study, it highlights key findings showing a 30% increase in freshmen retention when instructors implement organized materials, productive time management, clear directions, and subject matter reviews. We delve into planning matrices that align instructional activities with measurable objectives while ensuring variety and active learning components. This resource provides practical strategies for educators to improve course design and enhance student learning outcomes.

  1. Instructional Planning If you build it, will they learn?

  2. Why focus on design? • Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education (controlled, thousands of students, 19 colleges) • Survey after 1st and 4th years • The likelihood that freshmen returned to college increased 30% when students observed that instructors: • organized material • used time productively • explained directions • reviewed subject matter http://chronicle.com/article/What-Spurs-Students-to-Stay-in/129670/

  3. Why focus on design? • Quality Matters quality standards/ rubrics • Course Design: • Measurable objectives • Alignment between objectives, instruction and assessment

  4. Funny? SCHOOL: 2 + 2 = 4 HOMEWORK: 2 + 4 + 2 = 8 EXAM: Omar has 4 apples, his train is 7 minutes early, calculate the mass of the sun. http://imgfave.com/view/2179605?r=pin
