Gagne’s Conditions of Learning Theory-2

B) Practical Application

Gagne’s nine instructional events and corresponding cognitive processes can serve as the basis for designing instruction and selecting appropriate media (Gagne, Briggs & Wager, 1992, as cited in Kearsley 1994a). In applying these instructional events, Kearsley (1994a) suggests keeping the following principles in mind:

1. Learning hierarchies define a sequence of instruction.
2. Learning hierarchies define what intellectual skills are to be learned.
3. Different instruction is required for different learning outcomes.
