Comparison and Similarities of
Gagne’s Instructional
Model to other ID Models
Comparison of Dick and Carey Model with Gagne’s Nine Events
There are some similarities of the Dick and Carey model and Gagne’s model.
First, they both utilize a logical approach to design of educational course. It could be argued that they are “systems-like” in this approach.
Another similarity between the two is that each of the models contains separate and discrete components. These components, however, are not meant to be in isolation of each other, but rather are inter-related, and have influence over the other components in their model and on the overall success (or outcome) of the process.
A third similarity can be said to be the focus of the learner inherent in each model. Gagne’s whole system is designed to be set around the learner and the tangible and intangible aspects of education as they relate to the learner.
The purpose of the instructional design models offer both educational and training organizations design steps, management guidelines and teamwork collaboration options with designers, technicians and clients (Gustafson& Branch, 2002a).
What makes the models different from each other??
is the layout for the individual element or component as it applies and relates to each other, represented through the symbolic illustrations.
Gagne’s Nine Events of Instruction
Dick and Carey model is based off the conventional core elements of the ADDIE model.
Kemp Model is also based off the conventional core elements of the ADDIE model.
Next, each model utilizes at least one form of traditional linear (step-by step process)approach.

ASSURE Gagne’s Nine Events of Instruction
Strengths
Promotes planning and delivery of instruction using technology and media.
Comprehensive in that it covers the entire learning process from design to assessment to application thus promoting the planning and delivery of instruction.
The model is easy to follow Linear model allows for easy adoption in different learning contexts.
Learner centered Learner centeredStep by step procedures taking into account all the details of the instruction.
Roadmap of guidelines for instructional designers and teachers to follow in the form of “events”.
Well-stated objectives using the ABCD formula.
Objectives are written in terms of performance.
Weaknesses
Time consuming to create for several lessons.
More steps to follow in order to complete the lesson plan.
Narrow scope where focus is on unit/lesson/module
Passive learning environment and the linear model does not allow instructors to be creative.
