It’s a real privilege now to be stumbling through the YouTube playing field of ideas on instruction and steady oneself by a well of pure insight like Merrill.

[smlavemaria]

Extremely helpful in setting right our notions of what's really important in effective instruction. Thank you

[Harley5554]

Great learning. Thank you - please make more Dr. Merrill.

The market is still dominated by shovelware here in the UK. Almost anybody 'does' Instructional Design. The result is invariably the same; the creation of an online textbook, peppered with multimedia and ended with a multiple-choice quiz. There is a pathological indifference to evaluating the effectiveness of the material, so the standard persists. I have been completely discouraged by the culture in the UK. It is wonderfully affirming to find this video and remind me why I bothered training.

I got a lot out of your chapter in the Reigeluth, Carr-Chellman text. Many thanks.

[mustbeteaching]

I'm sorry, I've been reading your papers and watching videos....you are failing at the very things you are saying. I cannot follow your writing and have checked out half way through this video. Make sure you practice what you preach.

[lenaris]

@mustbeteaching please elucidate your point. I understood him very well.



[Jta0358]

@lenaris I think he/she means the double subtitles.

Personally, I disagree to his definition of motivation. I agree that a design without substance is worthless. But what he means by "real motivation" i will have to disagree.

[capiv8]

Thanks, Dr. Merrill. More videos please!

[jczarski]

You would think a pioneer in instructional technology would have a video and sound matching.

[rarsenue]

very informative, thanks

[actingmerihawaii]

Thank You!

[MultiJenfer]

Great content but what's with the double subtitles?! Very disconcerting.

[fpool2007]

@MultiJenfer

clicking the CC button hides the subtitles, you can still follow the interactive transcript which is what I did. Excellent materials, by the way

Hi Mr. Brown :D

[NoirHammer]

I'm thinking about taking courses in ISD instead pursuing my graduate degree in TESOL. Your video was very informative and I thank you for posting it.

[missulka131]

Great thoughts!

I definitely agree with you. I am originally from Europe where I completed Business High School and than moved to the United States to get Bachelor's Degree. The instruction styles are so much different and I also found out that students in Europe learn more in general. I HATE multiple choice questions. It is only a guess game - you do not have to know the information to get it right. Also, it is usually about wording not the knowledge.

[coacha2008]

Dr. Merrill,

This is one of the very best videos I have ever seen about ID. Nice seeing you at AECT, a few years later.

[kidelectric]

for better or for worse, I think that the motivational methods for students DOES need to change to formats that are more immediate, and more sensory-engaging. I think this is because of the world we live in, where kids are exposed to constant sensory bombardment and opportunities for "instant gratification"

I don't think the "delayed gratification as motivation" argument works anymore (for many people), but if you know of research to support your claim, please point me to it

[kidelectric]

however, I'm intrigued by your comment about motivation; there are plenty of students who, despite instructional designs that are rigorous, relevant, engaging -- everything you describe -- simply do not care (or foresee the future benefit) whether they learn the material. I have seen many cases where learning for the sake of learning, and the sense of achievement or accomplishment or ability, is not enough to motivate a student... and the number of those cases seems to be growing

[kidelectric]

I agree with you, as a whole, and agree with your points about demonstration, independent practice, and relevant PBL (project-based learning)

[jasonreeduk]

good stuff

[dennreed]

The comments given by Dr. Merrill are very enlightening in view of the limited methods of evaluating the true learning of students in the classroom. His views debunk the myth that multiple choice tests are the best means to measure the quality of comprehension of learners. This video is not only an eye opener, it is also ground breaking -- so to speak --as to how effective teaching can actually be measured

[natigolan]

Great video, very helpful and clear example of effective teaching.
