Yellow Book: About this bookTo the table of contents(From the Preface)
This book provides an introduction to instructional strategies for prospective
instructional designers, teachers, trainers in business and industry, and educational
psychologists. It is designed as a companion to Instructional Design Theories and
Models: An Overview of their Current Status, published in 1983. Although this book
comes later, it is a simpler, more concrete introduction to the same eight theories that
the earlier book describes in considerably greater detail. It is simpler because it
describes only the most important prescriptions of each theory and because it describes
them in less detail. It is more concrete because each theory is illustrated by a lesson.
Furthermore, comments identify which prescriptions from the theory are being implemented
at each point in the lesson. Chapter forewords and editor's footnotes help to compare and
contrast the theories, and study questions are also provided. After reading this book, you
may wish to seek a deeper understanding of the theories by referring to the more detailed
"green book," as it is (affectionately) called.
I . that it will excite you about the power and utility of our
growing knowledge regarding what instructional techniques to use when in order to make
your instruction more effective and appealing,
When they are prescribing different techniques for the same situation (in which case they contradict, or compete with, each other), and When they are prescribing different techniques for different situations (in which case they are compatible with each other and can be integrated into a single, more comprehensive theory of instruction), and finally 4. that it will facilitate integration of the various theories, so that we will have a more powerful knowledge base for making our instruction more effective and appealing.
