Instructional Planning Approaches: from Tutoring towards Free Learning 1
Julita Vassileva, Barbara Wasson · 1996
Abstract: This paper provides a review of existing instructional planning approaches, classified in two groups: delivery and content planning (Wasson, 1990). It is suggested that instructional planning doesn’t have to be associated with a particular teaching style or locus of control. Two examples are used to illustrate how instructional planning can implement different instructional strategies, some of which allow the student a high degree of freedom and initiative. Finally, the paper suggests new applications of instructional planning in educational collaborative problem solving- and simulation-systems. 1
