Learning units need to have a structure and flow that enables systematic progression of instruction. Robert Gagne’s theory identifies this step-by-step building of learning as nine instructional events:
Gain attention, wherein the learner is presented with an introductory scenario or rhetorical questions
Inform learners of objective, wherein the learner is presented with the learning objectives
Stimulate recall of prior learning, wherein the learner is presented with experience recollection
Present stimulus material, wherein the learner is presented with content presentation
Provide learner guidance, wherein the learner is presented with graphics and examples
Elicit performance, wherein the learner is presented with practice activities
Provide feedback, wherein the learner is presented with practice feedback
Assess performance, wherein the learner is presented with post-assessment
Enhance retention and transfer, wherein the learner is presented with job aids and resources
