Designing intentional learning environments
Margaret A. Martinez · 1997
l'i$is study contributes to the discussion about self-managed learning in a computer-based environment, The result was the &sign for ajirstgeneration intentional learning environment for instru&onat multimedia.The final product was an instructional &sign model for an interactive CD-ROM-delivered 'Sales and Product Training" program for resellers.The model, called a System for Intentional Learning and Progress Assessment (SILPA), features six intentional learning design principles.The SILPA fosters intentional performance by focusing on three key learning processes: goal setting, task sequencing, and progress monitoring.Many theorists argue in support of self-managed learning saying that humans have an innate need to control the events in their lives.This need highly correlates with conceptions about learning and directly influences success@l intentional learning performance.In this manner, the SILPA, integrated with assessment and intentional learning components, supports an ina7vidual's intentional achievement of learning goals.
