- Pedagogy
- Andragogy (Correct answer)
- Heutagogy
- Cybergogy
Correct answer: Andragogy
Malcolm Knowles popularized andragogy, the theory and practice of adult learning, which underpins most CPLP instructional design principles.
Question 2: According to Knowles's andragogy, adults are primarily motivated to learn when:
- A teacher mandates the content
- They perceive a need to know or solve a real problem (Correct answer)
- Content is delivered in short micro-modules
- They receive academic credit for completion

Question 3: Bloom's Taxonomy categorizes cognitive learning objectives into how many levels?

Bloom's original Taxonomy (and its 2001 revision) identifies six levels: Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, and Create.
Question 4: In instructional design, ADDIE stands for:
- Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate (Correct answer)
- Assess, Define, Deliver, Integrate, Examine
- Apply, Diagnose, Design, Instruct, Evaluate
- Analyze, Decide, Develop, Instruct, Examine
Correct answer: Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate
ADDIE is the foundational instructional design model: Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate.
Question 5: Which instructional design model is iterative and often contrasted with the linear ADDIE model?
- SAM (Successive Approximation Model) (Correct answer)
- Dick and Carey Model
- Gagné's Nine Events
- Merrill's First Principles
Correct answer: SAM (Successive Approximation Model)
The Successive Approximation Model (SAM) by Michael Allen uses rapid prototyping and iterative cycles, contrasting with ADDIE's linear flow.
Question 6: Gagné's Nine Events of Instruction begin with which step?
- Present stimulus material
- Gain attention (Correct answer)
- State the objective
- Elicit performance
Correct answer: Gain attention
The first of Gagné's Nine Events is 'Gain Attention,' ensuring learners are receptive before instruction begins.
Question 7: The 70-20-10 learning model suggests that approximately what percentage of professional learning comes from on-the-job experience?
- 10%
- 20%
- 50%
- 70% (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 70%
The 70-20-10 model proposes that roughly 70% of learning occurs through on-the-job experiences, 20% through social interactions, and 10% through formal training.
