Discusses the limitations of existing instructional design models, including Gagne's, and describes a new, more complete model meant to improve upon those now in use. Twenty-four references are appended. (LLS)

This manual, specifically designed to accompany formal instruction in the writing of behavioral objectives, is also intended for use by individuals desiring knowledge of behavioral objectives and behavioral domain concepts.

Several kinds of feedback are…

A number of taxonomies of educational objectives are described, including: (1) cognitive taxonomies by Bloom, Guilford, Gagne and Merrill, Gerlach and Sullivan, and DeBlock; (2) affective taxonomies by Karthwohl and Raven; (3) psychomotor taxonomies by Ragsdale, Simpson, and Harrow; and (4) D'Hainaut's integration of the other models.

The computerized Painless Accountability System is a performance objective system from which instructional programs are developed. Three main simplified behavioral response levels characterize this system: (1) cognitive, (2) psychomotor, and (3) affective domains. Each of these objectives are classified by one of 16 descriptors. The second major…

Precise guidelines for designing and developing curriculum materials from vigorously defined behavioral objectives are presented.
