Criterion-Referenced Testing defined Robert Glaser (ID)
Was the first to use the term Criterion-Referenced measures. He insisted that these tests could asses student entry-level behavior, and determine the extent of information acquired and the instructional program was designed to teach. Which sparked the feature of instructional design procedures. -
The 1963 Definition of IT
This definition was the first to be approved by the major professional organization within the field. The definition focused on the the design and use of messages that controls the learning process. -
The Conditions of Learning by Robert Gagne (ID)
In this book he described the five types of learning outcomes: Verbal Information, Intellectual Skills, Psycho motor Skills, Attitudes, and Cognitive Strategies. Also, he described the nine events of instruction.
His work in the area of learning hierarchies and hierarchical analysis played a pivotal role on the instructional design field. -
Robert Gagne's Theory of Instruction
Developed many idea's during his period, and some of his ideas and theories are still being taught today.
Three components- Taxonomy of Learning outcomes that defined the types of capabilities humans can learn.
- Internal and external learning conditions associated with the acquisition of each category of learning outcome.
- Nine Levels of Instruction.
-
General Systems Theory (GST)
The General Systems Theory was developed by Silvern as an approach to accomplishing learning tasks and solving instructional problems. The theory is characterized as being systematic, systemic, responsive, interdependent, redundant, dynamic, cybernetic, synergistic, and creative. -
Cognitive Information Processing Theory
In 1968, Atkinson and Shriffin is said they proposed the first information processing theory by creating a multistage theory. Then in the 1970s this view rose among many psychologists. -
IT defined by the Commission on IT by the US Government
In the report entitled to Improve Learning the Commission provided two definitions. The first, summarized the order of IT to this point starting with media. The second, described IT as a process. -

Instructional Design Models takes Flight (ID)
During the 1970's the systems approach takes off. During 1975 the U.S. Military adopted an instructional design model, intended to guide the development of training materials in each branch. Also, these methods took off in the educational system by helping faculty use instructional design procedures to improve the quality of their instruction. Where we are still seeing the impact of these methods today in education. -
ADDIE MODEL Developed
In 1975 Florida State University creates the ADDIE Model for the U.S. Army -
