EDIT 6100/ Dick & Carey Model (ISD)

Summary and brief bibliography

Description of the Dick & Carey Model

Robin defined the Dick and Carey model as having its roots in the Instructional Systems Design (ISD) model which was initially used for training purposes during World War II. Although several versions of this training model exist, Dick and Carey have gained prominence in the field. This theory consists of (1) goal identification, (2) instructional analysis, (3) learner and context analysis, (4) definition of objectives, (5) assessment instrument, (6) instructional strategy and materials development, (7) formative evaluation, and (8) summative evaluation of instruction.

Characteristics

John discussed the characteristics of the DCC model including the diagram and demonstrated a real life project using this model to teach students how to save and move file folders in the MSWindows environment.

Uses of Dick & Carey Model

Haley discussed the uses of the Dick & Carey Model including its use to develop WebCT.

Limitations of the Dick & Carey Model

Erika discussed the limitations of DCC:

Behavior is not predictable, so trying to predict behavior is an extremely difficult task. This model does not lend itself to include unpredictable behaviors.
For complex instruction, it is very time consuming to break instruction down into all of its smaller components.
The model is linear, making it inflexible.
Some critics feel that the systems approach is too focused on specific objectives to be successfully applied to the development of instruction which supports higher level thinking and the active construction of knowledge by learners.
Not applicable to non-instructional problems  Requires identification of outcomes.
