Several people have asked me about what I did to transition from education to instructional design, so here's an overview of my journey from deciding to leave teaching up to now, when I've just accepted an offer for my first instructional design position.

I decided about a year ago that I wanted that academic year to be my last year in the school system, and began exploring what I wanted to do next. I spoke to friends, family and colleagues, and researched various career options, including project management, instructional design, and graphic design. I decided that I needed to hand in my notice to commit myself to making the change, so handed in my notice to leave at the end of the academic year. I created a budget and calculated my minimum income required.

I'm hoping that all of this learning will be helpful when I start my new role in a month. But it's been very useful in my career search to enable me to share my past experiences in my CV and interviews using the language of instructional design.

I began updating my LinkedIn profile, and six months ago I posted on LinkedIn that I was looking for a new role in instructional design or training. I began adding people I knew or had worked with as connections on LinkedIn, and started commenting on others' content on LinkedIn. I then began requesting to connect with some of the people I was interacting with on LinkedIn, including other teachers who were looking to transition, instructional designers, and people who worked at local companies and organisations that I was interested in. I took up the offers of conversations with a few of those new connections, including Olga Anishenkova , Christopher Wheeler , Anita Damjanovic, Ph.D. , Alejandra Dashe , Adi Raheja , and Cecil Cheng, MEd. .

Instructional design (ID), also known as instructional systems design and originally known as instructional systems development (ISD), is the practice of systematically designing, developing and delivering instructional materials and experiences, both digital and physical, in a consistent and reliable fashion toward an efficient, effective, appealing, engaging and inspiring acquisition of knowledge.[1][2] The process consists broadly of determining the state and needs of the learner, defining the end goal of instruction, and creating some "intervention" to assist in the transition. The outcome of this instruction may be directly observable and scientifically measured or completely hidden and assumed.[3] There are many instructional design models but many are based on the ADDIE model with the five phases: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation.

As a field, instructional design is historically and traditionally rooted in cognitive and behavioral psychology, though recently constructivism has influenced thinking in the field.[5][6][7] This can be attributed to the way it emerged during a period when the behaviorist paradigm was dominating American psychology. There are also those who cite that, aside from behaviorist psychology, the origin of the concept could be traced back to systems engineering. While the impact of each of these fields is difficult to quantify, it is argued that the language and the "look and feel" of the early forms of instructional design and their progeny were derived from this engineering discipline.[8] Specifically, they were linked to the training development model used by the U.S. military, which were based on systems approach and was explained as "the idea of viewing a problem or situation in its entirety with all its ramifications, with all its interior interactions, with all its exterior connections and with full cognizance of its place in its context."[9]

The role of systems engineering in the early development of instructional design was demonstrated during World War II when a considerable amount of training materials for the military were developed based on the principles of instruction, learning, and human behavior. Tests for assessing a learner's abilities were used to screen candidates for the training programs. After the success of military training, psychologists began to view training as a system and developed various analysis, design, and evaluation procedures.[10] In 1946, Edgar Dale outlined a hierarchy of instructional methods, organized intuitively by their concreteness.[11][12] The framework first migrated to the industrial sector to train workers before it finally found its way to the education field.[13]

B. F. Skinner's 1954 article "The Science of Learning and the Art of Teaching" suggested that effective instructional materials, called programmed instructional materials, should include small steps, frequent questions, and immediate feedback; and should allow self-pacing.[10] Robert F. Mager popularized the use of learning objectives with his 1962 article "Preparing Objectives for Programmed Instruction". The article describes how to write objectives including desired behavior, learning condition, and assessment.[10]

Robert Glaser introduced "criterion-referenced measures" in 1962. In contrast to norm-referenced tests in which an individual's performance is compared to group performance, a criterion-referenced test is designed to test an individual's behavior in relation to an objective standard. It can be used to assess the learners' entry level behavior, and to what extent learners have developed mastery through an instructional program.[10]

During the 1970s, the number of instructional design models greatly increased and prospered in different sectors in military, academia, and industry.[10] Many instructional design theorists began to adopt an information-processing-based approach to the design of instruction. David Merrill for instance developed Component Display Theory (CDT), which concentrates on the means of presenting instructional materials (presentation techniques).[15]

Although interest in instructional design continued to be strong in business and the military, there was little evolution of ID in schools or higher education.[10][16]However, educators and researchers began to consider how the personal computer could be used in a learning environment or a learning space.[10][11][17] PLATO (Programmed Logic for Automatic Teaching Operation) is one example of how computers began to be integrated into instruction.[18] Many of the first uses of computers in the classroom were for "drill and skill" exercises.[19] There was a growing interest in how cognitive psychology could be applied to instructional design.[11]

The influence of constructivist theory on instructional design became more prominent in the 1990s as a counterpoint to the more traditional cognitive learning theory.[16][20] Constructivists believe that learning experiences should be "authentic" and produce real-world learning environments that allow learners to construct their own knowledge.[16] This emphasis on the learner was a significant departure away from traditional forms of instructional design.[10][11][20]

Performance improvement was also seen as an important outcome of learning that needed to be considered during the design process.[10][17] The World Wide Web emerged as an online learning tool with hypertext and hypermedia being recognized as good tools for learning.[18] As technology advanced and constructivist theory gained popularity, technology's use in the classroom began to evolve from mostly drill and skill exercises to more interactive activities that required more complex thinking on the part of the learner.[19] Rapid prototyping was first seen during the 1990s. In this process, an instructional design project is prototyped quickly and then vetted through a series of try and revise cycles. This is a big departure from traditional methods of instructional design that took far longer to complete.[16]

Informal learning became an area of growing importance in instructional design, particularly in the workplace.[33][34] A 2014 study showed that formal training makes up only 4 percent of the 505 hours per year an average employee spends learning. It also found that the learning output of informal learning is equal to that of formal training.[34] As a result of this and other research, more emphasis was placed on creating knowledge bases and other supports for self-directed learning.[33]

Robert Gagn's work is widely used and cited in the design of instruction, as exemplified by more than 130 citations in prominent journals in the field during the period from 1985 through 1990.[35] Synthesizing ideas from behaviorism and cognitivism, he provided a clear template, which is easy to follow for designing instructional events. Instructional designers who follow Gagn's theory will likely have tightly focused, efficient instruction.[36]

According to Gagn, learning occurs in a series of nine learning events, each of which is a condition for learning which must be accomplished before moving to the next in order. Similarly, instructional events should mirror the learning events:

Some educators believe that Gagn's taxonomy of learning outcomes and events of instruction oversimplify the learning process by over-prescribing.[39] However, using them as part of a complete instructional package can assist many educators in becoming more organized and staying focused on the instructional goals.[40]

Robert Gagn's work has been the foundation of instructional design since the beginning of the 1960s when he conducted research and developed training materials for the military. Among the first to coin the term "instructional design", Gagn developed some of the earliest instructional design models and ideas. These models have laid the groundwork for more present-day instructional design models from theorists like Dick, Carey, and Carey (The Dick and Carey Systems Approach Model),[41] Jerold Kemp's Instructional Design Model,[42] and David Merrill (Merrill's First Principle of Instruction).[42] Each of these models are based on a core set of learning phases that include (1) activation of prior experience, (2) demonstration of skills, (3) application of skills, and (4) integration or these skills into real world activities. 006ab0faaa
