The ABCD Model is truly effective for designing a learning experience:
Instructional objectives should include four components in order to be effective for both your students and you. Take into consideration components A through D:
- A-Audience. Who are the targeted individuals? You need to have a clear understanding of the entrance knowledge and skills your students possess upon entering your course.
- B-Behavior. What is it you want the students to do? What is the balance between knowledge and skill development that is required?
- C-Condition. What are the rules for their performance? Will they work in the lab, out in the field, with notes, references, or will all work be done through memory?
- D-Degree. What is the level of proficiency required? Will a 70 percent skill level work for your course or does the field require 100 percent proficiency?
