ASSURE + ADDIE :)

The theories and model of instructional design; ASSURE and ADDIE model presented by Miss Chin were very beneficial as guidelines for me in preparing and completing my assignment which is video clip. For me, both models are practical and very useful especially for teachers before prepare any material to be taught to pupils. Both models start with analysis phase where I think is very important. We have to really know our learner and their characteristics before we design activities for them. Like Malay proverb, ‘tak kenal maka tak cinta’, thus knowing our pupils help us identify the purpose of our activities and what we want to achieve from them. Then, we end up with evaluation. Whatever we did, we have to think back and reflect whether it is success or not. If not, why so? And how we are going to improve it later. I think the steps involve in both models are useful guidelines so that we know what we are producing and later our pupils also benefit from it. And now, I am trying to apply the models while preparing the video clip. Throughout the process I keep reminding myself about my target learners, their proficiency, my leson objectives and the effectiveness of my video….really hope I’m on the right track….
