Designing Instruction for the Traditional, Adult, and Distance Learner

Abstract

http://www.igi-global.com/book/designing-instruction-traditional-adult-distance/253 Adult students demand a wider variety of instructional strategies that encompass real-world, interactive, cooperative, and discovery learning experiences. Designing Instruction for the Traditional, Adult, and Distance Learner: A New Engine for Technology-Based Teaching explores how technology impacts the process of devising instructional plans as well as learning itself in adult students. Containing research from leading international experts, this publication proposes realistic and accurate archetypes to assist educators in incorporating state-of-the-art technologies into online instruction. This text proposes a new paradigm for designing, developing, implementing, and assessed technologybased instruction. It addresses three target populations of today's learner: traditional, adult, and distance education. The text proposes a new model of instructional system design (ISD) for developing effective technology-based education that involves a five-step process focusing on the learner, learning theories, resources, delivery modalities, and outcomes.

Pengaruh Kemampuan Penalaran, Efikasi Diri dan Kemampuan Memecahkan Masalah Terhadap Penguasaan Konsep Matematika

“…Dalam mengukur penguasaan konsep pada siswa kelas empat SD X dapat digunakan tes sumatif. Penguasaan konsep siswa dapat diukur dengan tes sumatif yang diberikan di akhir satuan pelajaran, sehingga dapat dilihat dari tinggi rendahnya nilai tes, semakin tinggi nilainya berarti siswa semakin sukses siswa menguasai konsep yang diajarkan (Tomei, 2011). Penguasaan konsep yang diukur dalam tes sumatif tersebut adalah penguasaan konsep angka sampai ratusan ribuan, konsep faktor dan kelipatan, konsep perkalian dan pembagian, konsep sudut serta konsep persegi dan bujur sangkar.…”
