What Do Instructional Designers Actually Do? An Initial Investigation of Expert Practice

Rowland, Gordon·2008·Performance Improvement Quarterly

Abstract

We have a large body of literature that describes and prescribes how to design instruction but a poor understanding of what expert instructional designers actually do in practice. This paper describes a study in which expert and novice designers were asked to think aloud as they solved a design problem. The resulting protocols were analyzed and compared. Important differences were identified between experts and novices and between apparent characteristics of expertise and descriptions of instructional design in the literature. The implications of these differences for assisting and training instructional designers are discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
