Chapter Summaries
| This volume provides a concise summary of a broad sampling of new methods
of instruction currently under development, helps show the interrelationships among these
diverse theories, and highlights current issues and trends in instructional design. It
is a sequel to Volume I of Instructional-Design Theories and Models, which provided a
"snapshot in time" of the status of instructional theory in the early 1980s.
Dramatic changes in the nature of instructional theory have occurred since then, partly in
response to advances in knowledge about the human brain and learning theory, partly due to
shifts in educational philosophies and beliefs, and partly in response to advances in
information technologies. These changes have made new methods of instruction not only
possible, but also necessary in order to take advantage of new instructional capabilities
offered by the new technologies. These changes are so dramatic that many argue they
constitute a new paradigm of instruction, which requires a new paradigm of instructional
theory.
