GAGNE - Applying Learning Theories to Online Instructional Design
A3
Gagne also contends that learning tasks
for intellectual skills can be organized in a hierarchy according to complexity:
stimulus recognition
response generation
procedure following
use of terminology
discriminations
concept formation
rule application
problem solving
The primary significance of this hierarchy is to provide direction
for instructors so that they can "identify prerequisites that should be completed to
facilitate learning at each level" (Kearsley 1994a).
