Instructional Design Model: ARCS Model of Motivation

The ARCS Model of Motivation is my choice for Instructional Design Model. I believe motivation is the key to success in any educational setting. If students aren’t motivated to learn, learning will not take place. Keller’s ARCS Model of Motivation contains four steps

Attention: The most important aspect of this ID model is to gain attention of your students. One can accomplish through sensory stimuli, inquiry arousal and variability

Relevance: The training must be relevant to the learner and answer the question, “what is in it for me?”

Confidence: Students must believe that the task at hand is manageable. If the student does not feel the task is manageable motivation diminishes. Setting expected time frames to accomplish tasks will help with confidence.

Satisfaction: Upon the completion of a project, the student must obtain satisfaction or reward. This can be accomplished through many means.

Educational Theory: Robert Gagne`s Nine Steps of Instruction

I chose Gagne`s Nine Steps of Instruction because as I was researching Keller’s ARCS Model of Motivation, Gagne`s theory was most often linked to Keller’s model as the theory that would compliment the ARCS Model of Motivation.

Gagne`s Nine Steps Are:

Gain Attention! Gaining attention of your students is the most important step

Inform learner of objective: Repeat Instructions, describe the goal or lesson, and let them know what they will be able to do once they have accomplished the objective.

Stimulate recall of prior knowledge: Ask students about back ground knowledge. Explain why constructing proper lesson plans(objectives) will be relevant to their career choice with visual examples.
