This brief article explores the integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools into blended learning environments for designing and teaching pronunciation tasks. Adapting Calamlam's (2016) conceptual framework, a flowchart is proposed to guide the use of three GenAI tool types to enhance pronunciation instruction: Listen-Mimic…

This paper shows the basic concept of Functional Modelling in mathematics education which has become more and more important in recent years. Hence it is necessary to think about suitable graphical methods to explain the fundamental idea of a function and its influence on values and other functions. PROGRAPH diagrams are a potentially good way to…

Describes ways in which algorithms which refer to underlying procedures should be represented in order to improve communication in educational and/or training materials. Representations of linear procedures, decision rule procedures, and complex procedures are provided. (MER)

This study, part of an instructional development project, explores the effects of three different representations of functional algorithms in an introductory chemistry laboratory. Intact classes were randomly assigned to a flowchart, list, or standard prose representation of the procedures (algorithms). At the completion of 11 laboratory sessions,…

Designed to encourage the use of a defined methodology and careful planning in creating computer-assisted instructional programs, this paper describes the instructional design process, compares computer-assisted instruction (CAI) and programmed instruction (PI), and discusses pragmatic concerns in computer programming. Topics addressed include:…

A review of the major components of lesson planning and two conventional planning methods provides background for this explanation of the type of planning required when designing instruction for teaching with the computer. This "formal planning" includes the identification and articulation of the locical sequencing of both instructional…

Discusses two ways in which task analysis can be integrated with instructional design--substantive integration, where the type of task analysis is determined by design type, and temporal integration, where analysis activities are interspersed with design activities. Flowcharts, examples of and procedures for instructional analysis, and references…

Two important elements of a method of designing instructional alternatives (MODIA) are comprehensively discussed in this paper. The "Questionnaire for Stating General Policy" is briefly reviewed to reveal how goals, student population variations, and operations must be accommodated before specifying instructional strategies. The actual…
