CPLP Instructional Design Principles 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What model is most commonly associated with systematic instructional design?
- ADDIE (Correct answer)
- BLOOM
- KIRKPATRICK
- AGILE
Correct answer: ADDIE
The ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) is the most widely used systematic instructional design framework.
Question 2: In the Analysis phase of ADDIE, what is the primary goal?
- Developing course materials
- Identifying performance gaps and learner needs (Correct answer)
- Delivering training to employees
- Measuring training effectiveness
Correct answer: Identifying performance gaps and learner needs
The Analysis phase focuses on identifying performance gaps, learner characteristics, and training needs before any design begins.
Question 3: What does a learning objective refer to in instructional design?
- The overall business goal of the organization
- A measurable statement of what learners will be able to do after training (Correct answer)
- The content covered in a training module
- The evaluation method used after training
Correct answer: A measurable statement of what learners will be able to do after training
A learning objective is a specific, measurable statement describing the performance learners should demonstrate after instruction.
Question 4: Which learning theory emphasizes that learners construct knowledge through experience?
- Behaviorism
- Cognitivism
- Constructivism (Correct answer)
- Connectivism
Correct answer: Constructivism
Constructivism holds that learners build new knowledge by connecting it to prior experiences and actively constructing meaning.
Question 5: What is the purpose of a task analysis in instructional design?
- To evaluate learner satisfaction
- To break down complex skills into component steps (Correct answer)
- To determine the training budget
- To schedule delivery of training
Correct answer: To break down complex skills into component steps
Task analysis deconstructs complex job tasks into sequential steps to inform instructional content and sequencing.
Question 6: Bloom's Taxonomy is primarily used in instructional design to:
- Assess instructor performance
- Write learning objectives at varying cognitive levels (Correct answer)
- Measure return on investment
- Schedule training delivery
Correct answer: Write learning objectives at varying cognitive levels
Bloom's Taxonomy provides a hierarchical framework for writing learning objectives from lower-order to higher-order thinking skills.
