Gagne's Nine Events of Instruction

In my ITEC 800 Theory of Instructional Technology class, for week six, we had to teach something to the class, keeping Gagne's Nine Events of Instruction in mind. It was a fun class.

Taxonomies of Learning Outcomes

- Verbal Information
- Intellectual Skills
- Cognitive Strategies
- Attitudes
- Motor Skills

Gagne's Nine Events of Instruction (-> w/Internal Process)

1 Get Attention -> Reception
2 Explain Objective -> Expectancy
3 Recall Prior Learning -> Retrieval from Memory
4 Present Content -> Selective Perception
5 Provide Learning Guidance -> Semantic Encoding
6 Elicit Performance -> Responding
7 Provide Feedback -> Reinforcement
8 Assess Performance -> Retrieval and Reinforcement
9 Enhance Retention and Transfer -> Retrieval and Generalization

Some of the ones I remember the most were several language ones, including Japanese, Chichewa, and Swahili.

Ex:
Swahili - Walter

Jambo - Hello
Asante - Thank You
Karibu - You're Welcome

Also, I liked Natalia's where we really delved into our collective knowledge of South America.

South America - Natalia

Drawing on our existing knowledge; everyone knew a lot about Brazil, Venezeula, and Peru.

Lattice Multiplication Method - Felix

Pretty cool.
