My expectations of instructional design are: My expectations of instructional design is to implement computers in learning areas/ subject that I am teaching in school, in order to engage learner in computers to be able to use computer tools. The learner should be able to do different activities in computer and he/she must be instructed to do so. Since we are facing National Curriculum Statement I expect great changes in education, for example changes teaching learners to seek the information on their own with the instruction of the teacher and design their own activities only with help of the teacher. I expect the government to introduce this syllabus in the department of education so that it can be implemented in all schools around South Africa. I have realized that without computer knowledge and understanding you cannot go anywhere in this country. When they advertise employment the requirement of computer knowledge is always there that is why I have a reason that we all need to learn how to use computers. In the module I00 880 expect to learn about instructional design. The purpose of instruction is to help people learn. Instruction is much more likely to be effective if it is planned to engage students in those events and activities that facilitate learning. The teacher or trainer can select, or plan and develop activities to best help students learn. We learn about three learning components which are the content, the learner who is tested a prior knowledge, intelligence and learning style. The teacher or trainer has knowledge and skills and is planning management instruction. Instructional design is all about instruction rather than teaching and we also learn about five categories of learning outcomes which are: An intellectual skill is when the learner has to carry out symbolically controlled using discrimination concepts rules and problem solving skills. Cognitive strategies is when the learners exercise control over the own learning process. Verbal information when facts are organised and stored to learner’s memory Attitude is the internal states that influence the personal action choice the learner makes. A motor skill is the movements of skeletal muscles organised to accomplish purposeful action.
