A hybrid instructional design model for the combination of motivation theory and constructivism

Abstract

Many learning theories have been studied and developed for the instructional design model. Among these theories, constructivist learning theory and ARCS motivation theory are most widely applied. In this paper, we show that either of these two theories alone is not perfect to instructional design model and propose the concepts: experience that is the combination point of both theories, the core of the knowledge structure and experiencing teaching strategy. We present a hybrid model of instructional design around experiencing and form an adequate framework for designing courses. Our model is further augmented by a simulation module to demonstrate how it can be utilized in learning programming language more effectively.
