Unit Guide
Robert Gagné, an educational psychologist, created the Nine Events of Instruction as a
structure for instructional design that helps process learning strategies and activities.
Accordingly, each step acts as confirmation that learning has taken place. When each step
is completed, the learner is expected to retain the information and be more engaged in the
succeeding lessons. It has three segments:
1. Preparation: gaining attention, informing learners of the objective, and stimulating
recall of prior learning
2. Instruction and Practice: presenting the stimulus, providing learning guidance,
eliciting performance, and providing feedback
3. Assessment and Transfer: assessing performance and enhancing retention and
transfer
Please see these additional links to read further details about this instructional design.
