CHE Instructional Design & Teaching Methodologies 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which instructional design model uses five phases — Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation?
- SAM model
- ADDIE model (Correct answer)
- Bloom's Taxonomy
- Kirkpatrick model
Correct answer: ADDIE model
ADDIE is the foundational instructional design framework whose five sequential phases guide systematic course development.
Question 2: A CHE instructor wants students to critique a competitor hotel's service recovery process. Which Bloom's Taxonomy level does this activity target?
- Knowledge
- Comprehension
- Application
- Evaluation (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Evaluation
Critiquing requires judgment against established criteria, placing it at the Evaluation (top) level of Bloom's original taxonomy.
Question 3: In a hospitality classroom, 'think-pair-share' is best classified as which type of learning strategy?
- Direct instruction
- Cooperative learning (Correct answer)
- Independent study
- Simulation
Correct answer: Cooperative learning
Think-pair-share is a cooperative learning technique that encourages peer discussion before sharing with the larger group.
Question 4: When designing an online module for front-desk training, chunking content into short segments of 5–10 minutes primarily addresses which learning principle?
- Spaced repetition
- Cognitive load theory (Correct answer)
- Constructivism
- Behaviorism
Correct answer: Cognitive load theory
Chunking limits the amount of new information presented at once, reducing cognitive overload per cognitive load theory.
Question 5: Which assessment technique requires learners to evaluate their own performance against a rubric before instructor feedback?
- Peer assessment
- Portfolio review
- Self-assessment (Correct answer)
- Standardized testing
Correct answer: Self-assessment
Self-assessment develops metacognitive skills by asking learners to reflect on their own work before receiving external feedback.

- Assessments are removed
- Instructional content is moved online for pre-class viewing (Correct answer)
- Students teach each other only
- Class time focuses solely on note-taking
Correct answer: Instructional content is moved online for pre-class viewing
In a flipped classroom, foundational content is delivered digitally before class so in-person time can be used for active practice.
Question 7: Which principle of adult learning theory (andragogy) states that adult learners are motivated by internal factors rather than external rewards?
- Self-concept
- Readiness to learn
- Internal motivation (Correct answer)
- Experiential learning
Correct answer: Internal motivation
