Module 2: Instructional Design

The correct answer is: Provides a flexible training environment. Asynchronous e‐learning can
provide more flexibility to the learner

The correct answer is: Design. In the Design phase, the TD professional provides the basic
foundation and structure for the training project.

The correct answer is: Knowledge. Knowledge involves the development of intellectual skills.
Examples of knowledge include understanding the principles of engineering, or knowing how to
complete a series of steps.

The correct answer is: Multiple Intelligences. Howard Gardner suggests that intelligence is more
multifaceted than has been thought and that traditional measure, such as intelligence quotient
tests, do not accurately measure all its facets

The correct answer is: Identifying the goals and objectives the training should have. Analysis is
the process of gathering data to identify specific needs—the who, what, where, when, and why
of the design process.

The correct answer is: Yes, because this training approach will allow learners to communicate
face‐to‐face and the instructor to gauge the participants’ reactions. One of the advantages of
classroom training is the ability of the learners to interact face to face with the instructors.

The correct answer is: Combination of both the right and left side of the brain. Although the two
hemispheres of the brain process information differently, they are complementary rather than
competitive. Real learning power comes from combining the two sides of the brain

The correct answer is: Define the objective. TD professionals first must determine the purpose
and objectives for the training needs assessment.

The correct answer is: Pedagogy. Pedagogy is a traditionalstyle of teaching based on a didactic
model, or lecturing. In this style, the instructor is responsible for what, how, and when the
learners learn.

The correct answer is: Knowledge. The skills associated with the Knowledge behavioral level
include: Define, list, name, recall, and repeat knowledge or information.

The correct answer is: It ensures that the training designed supports employee performance.  It
ensures that the ultimate training design supports employee performance and thereby helps the
organization meet its needs. A significant portion of a training needs assessment encompasses
gathering information to support the training design, identifying and capturing current levels of
skills and knowledge, and ensuring that the design replicates the learners’ jobs as closely as
possible. 

The correct answer is: Adults learn in different ways. When designing and delivering training,
strive to create a variety of approachesthat use techniques and activitiessuited to all learning
preferences.

The correct answer is: Enhance retention and transfer by Providing job aids or references to
ensure transfer to the job. At the close of a learning session, instructional designers need to
provide a review for the learners.

The correct answer is: Multiple perspectives of how adults develop. Merriam and Caffarella
discuss development characteristics of adults from three major perspectives: physical,
psychological, and sociocultural.

The correct answer is: Can be used at the learner’s job site, as time is available. One of the
advantages of e‐learning is that it can be designed for use anytime and anywhere.  

The correct answer is: Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Five levels of needs indicate that a person
can achieve a higher level of need only after lower levels are satisfied, which suggests that
people are motivated by different factors—factors that may be unknown or difficult to discern.

The correct answer is: Cognitivism. The cognitive approach is an academic approach based on
the principle that learning occurs primarily through exposure to logically presented information

Training is being planned. In the course design phase, a course designer
plans the course, whereas in the development phase, a developer develops the actual training
materials for the course.

The correct answer is: The application of adult learning theory in designing instruction. Ensuring
that instructional design meets the needs of adult learners is one method to apply adult learning
theory.  

The correct answer is: Individual characteristics of learning. When designing learning, talent
development (TD) professionals must consider four key individual characteristics of learning:
motivation, goals, experience, and culture

The correct answer is: Andragogy. Andragogy contendsthat five key principles affect the way
adults learn. These five principles are: Self‐concept, Prior Experience, Readiness to Learn,
Orientation to Learning, and Motivation.

The correct answer is: A diagram of the chambers of the heart. Visual learners prefer taking in
information by seeing

The correct answer is: This method is objective. Advantages of assessments and tests include:
they are objective, they identify the gap between current and desired performance, and the
training design can focus on a specific gap rather than generalized information.

The correct answer is: Procure only SMEs with at least 5 years of previous content experience.
SMEs are selected for their expertise in their field. Although length is valuable, more important is
that the experience should be recent, usually one year or less.

The correct answer is: Accommodating. Among other aspects Accelerated Learning stresses that
the learning environment must accommodate different learning styles.

The correct answer is: Individual Assessment. Instructional designers can review how a specific
person conducts his or her job successfully.

The correct answer is: Carl Rogers. Carl Rogers developed several guidelines for facilitating
learning by starting with a viewpoint that, in a general way, therapy is a learning process.

The correct answer is: Developed behavioral learning objectives with these three elements:
performance, condition, and criterion to judge performance

The correct answer is: Rapid instructional design. An important principle in rapid instructional
design is that the designer must be able to trade off the resources allocated to the design and
delivery phases.

The correct answer is: External and environmental influences. When preparing for learning,
talent development (TD) professionals should be aware that many external and environmental
factors influence learning.

The correct answer is: Lectures. Traditional education uses instructive‐style learning sessions or
lectures to teach participants. The instructor is the teller of information.

The correct answer is: Course pace. The primary considerations are: instructional objectives, cost
or budget, lesson content, learners’ knowledge and expectations, time availability, and facilities.

The correct answer is: Degree. As instructional designers write their objectives, they need to be
clear about how close to the mark a learner must get to meet them. This information is
addressed by the Degree criterion.
