The Kemp Design Model[5][6][7][8][9]

The Kemp Model of Instructional Design[10][11] is a relatively recent instructional design model explained in Kemp's book Designing Effective Instruction.[12] It has been called a holistic approach because some believe it includes more elements into the design process.[citation needed] It consists of 9 elements:

  1. Identify instructional problems, and specify goals for designing an instructional program.
  2. Examine learner characteristics that should receive attention during planning.
  3. Identify subject content, and analyze task components related to stated goals and purposes.
  4. State instructional objectives for the learner.
  5. Sequence content within each instructional unit for logical learning.
  6. Design instructional strategies so that each learner can master the objectives.
  7. Plan the instructional message and delivery.
  8. Develop evaluation instruments to assess objectives.
  9. Select resources to support instruction and learning activities.

Kemp's cognitive learning design model is learner-centered, thus its oval shape, and the steps are interdependent; the steps do not have to be followed in any particular order to complete the instructional learning systems design. This signifies a systems approach in which the instructional design process is a continuous cycle, while maintaining the importance on how to manage the instructional design process.

The characteristics of the model

  • All elements are interdependent
  • All the elements can be performed simultaneously as the model is nonlinear and flexible
  • The user can start at any point in the process
  • Learning needs, goals, priorities and constraints determine the instructional solutions.
  • All programs or projects may not require all nine elements.
