Summary
This study introduces a new computer-based instruction methodology. It focuses on instructional design and cognitive theory to create concept maps for educational objectives, mimicking expert instructors.
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Cognitive Science
- Instructional Design
Background:
- The focus of computer-based instruction (CBI) is shifting from delivery technology to instructional methodology.
- Educational theorists and instructional designers are increasingly interested in this shift.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a methodology and computer support system for distilling educational objectives into concept maps.
- To leverage strategies derived from cognitive theory for effective learning.
Main Methods:
- A flexible and extensible system architecture is proposed.
- Educators can create instructional modules encapsulating their teaching strategies.
- The system mimics the adaptive behavior of experienced instructors.
Main Results:
- The system facilitates the translation of educational objectives into concept maps.
- It supports the creation of adaptive instructional modules.
- The methodology is grounded in cognitive theory principles.
Conclusions:
- The proposed system offers a novel approach to CBI by integrating instructional methodology and cognitive theory.
- It provides educators with tools to design adaptive learning experiences.
- This approach enhances the development of complex educational objectives.
