Definition of Systematic
Definition of Systematic
"Systematic" would be defined as carefully planned, a methodical and step-by-step
approach to something.
The image shows a disorganized room and a confused cleaner. The X over the
image implies that systematic means organized and having a plan.
The image implies that many elements in a whole are interrelated, and can be
conceptualized visually.
Designing instruction can be be more efficient and effective if the steps are followed in a
logical order and that the output of each step provides the input for the next.
The model has nine components that are part of a cycle of planning,
design, development and assessments. The parts are not necessarily
used in a sequential fashion. They are independent components that are
part of a system of design.
The model includes six major activities: Analysis, Design, Develop, Produce,
Author, and Validate. Each activity specifies input, output, and evaluation
strategies.
Constructivism
Constructivism
An educational rationalist philosophy, which fundamentally asserts that
knowledge is not transmitted, but constructed by individuals in different ways
and at different rates.
Constructivist Educationalist: Jean Piaget.

Empiricism
Empiricism
Also called "objectivism", this theory asserts that knowledge is acquired
through sensory experiences, which create objective and singular realities as
they are experienced by individuals. Empiricists often attempt to reduce and
simplify complex entities, and relate ideas to different experiences.
Empiricist Philosopher: John Locke.
This image implies that knowing things is based on our individual experiences.
Behaviorism
Behaviorism
An "extreme empiricism" learning theory which focuses on observable
behavior rather than mental or unobservable activities. It emphasizes the
influence of the environment on learning.
This image implies that we learn behaviors, just as in Pavlovs ConditionedResponse experiments.

Information Processing
Theory
Information Processing
Theory
A cognitive learning theory (emphasises learning factors from within the
learner), this theory describes learning as a series of transformations of
information through a series of postulated structures within the brain.
Famous Information Processing Theorist: R. Gagne
This image shows how different parts of the brain work together to make sense
of information.

Educational Technology
Educational Technology
Educational Technology is both the tools and materials used to deliver instruction,
as well as the process of applying technological tools for educational.
Instructional Design models help identify learner needs and goals, and provide a
systematic method to design instruction, which should be met and supported by
educational technology.
