Instructional design in teaching basic electrical engineering using Robert Gagne’s model

Abstract

Robert Gagne’s model of instructional design is based on the information processing model of the mental events that occur when learners are presented with various stimuli and focuses on the learning outcomes and how to arrange specific instructional events to achieve those outcomes.Applying Gagne’s nine step model is an excellent way to ensure an effective and systematic learning progress as it gives structure to the lesson plans and a holistic view to the teaching .In this paper the author have chosen verification of laws in basic electrical engineering subject both theoretically and practically in the class room environment.Apparatus required for the practical verification of the laws were provided .The author has  chosen an observer to give his constructive feedback of his lesson .

Keywords: Robert Gagne’s model, verification of laws, Instructional design, Teaching.
