 * Robert Gagne's Instructional Design Model: Nine Events of Instruction**


 * //“Learning is something that takes place inside a person’s head-in the brain.” -Robert Gagne//**

=//Summary//=

The Nine Events of Instruction was developed by Robert Gagne (August 21, 1916–April 28, 2002). Gagne was interested in the conditions of learning and spent time presenting stimuli to adults and looked at their mental events. His research in learning first lead him to the eight phases of learning. From these phases, Gagne created nine events of instruction. These events have been used as the bases for many instructional design models.

The events of instruction starts with gaining attention and ending with retention. They are as follows:


 * Event || Description ||
 * Gaining attention || Instructor, textbook, or other delivery system gains or holds the attention of learner. ||
 * Activating motivation: Informing the learner of the objective || Instructor, textbook, or other delivery system informs the learner of the lesson objective. ||
 * Stimulating recall of prerequisite learning || Instructor, textbook, or other delivery system asks the learner to retrieve previous knowledge on subject ||
 * Presenting stimulus material || Instructor, textbook, or other delivery system helps to focus learner's attention on proper information ||
 * Providing learning guidance || Instructor, textbook, or other delivery system helps learner to encode previous and new knowledge ||
 * Eliciting the performance || Instructor, textbook, or other delivery system probes or tests the learner through activities or formal exams ||
 * Providing feedback || Instructor, textbook, or other delivery system gives feedback through response or activities ||
 * Assessing the learner's performance || Instructor, textbook, or other delivery system provides formal feedback at the end of the chapter/lesson ||
 * Promoting retention and transfer || Instructor, textbook, or other delivery system help retrain information for later use ||

Here is a fun example of an instructor of a geometry class using the Nine Events of Instruction to teach a lesson to his students (Tommy) about triangles. media type="youtube" key="BubfmqehA4Y" height="379" width="462" align="center"
