Instructional Theories in Action 
Lessons Illustrating Selected Theories and Models

Companion volume to the award-winning best seller
Instructional Design Theories and Models, this book serves as a concrete introduction to instructional design for curriculum developers, teachers and teacher trainers, and students. Eight major theorists translate their works and theories into sets of instructional prescriptions; corresponding model lessons provide step-by-step illustrations of these theories.

 


Instructional Theories in Action features:

*overviews of the most important prescriptions and corresponding sample lesson plans written by the original theorists;

*practical, concrete approaches to presenting the major strategies and principles;

*model lessons focusing on the same objectives to facilitate comparisons of the theories;

*numbered comments that identify which instructional prescription is being implemented at each point of the sample lessons;

*chapter introductions, footnotes, and student study questions, and

*clear identification and cross referencing of commonalities that are often masked by varying terminology.
