ELABORATION THEORY

an instructional design theory

  • Charles Reigeluth introduced Elaboration Theory in 1979.

Elaboration

Theory

. It is developed from cognitivism theory.

Aim

Aim

- to help select content

- to sequence content

- to optimize attainment of learning goals.

Proposition

Proposition

"The way instructional content is organized has an effect on learning" (Reigeluth & Aslan, 2015).

Concepts

Concepts

  • Wide-angle view
  • Zoomed-in view
  • Zoomed-out view
  • Sequencing

Content Organization

How content is organized is driven by the type of content that must be taught

Content Organization

  • Conceptual Elaboration Sequence
  • Theoretical Elaboration Sequence
  • Simplifying Conditions Method

Conceptual

Elaboration

Sequence

Present the simplest,

most familiar organizing

concepts first.

Music

(p. 439, Reigeluth, 1999)

Sequencing Models

Sequencing models

  • Topical Sequencing

  • Spiral Sequencing

Topical Sequencing

Topical Sequencing

a topic (or task) is taught to

whatever depth of understanding (or competence) is required, before moving to the

next one.

Spiral Sequencing

Spiral Sequencing

The learner learns the basics of one topic (or task), then another, and another, and so on, before she or he returns to learn more about each topic, and this pattern continues until the necessary depth and breadth are

reached for all of them.

Application

Application

The theory can be adopted as guidance for designing holistic sequences for

several kinds of course content.

Self Instructional Materials

Instruction sequence in a physics class

"We propose an active learning method based on the Elaboration Theory of Instruction applied to topics of Geometrical Optics." (Gil, Perez, Suero, Solanob& Pardo, 2010)

Limitation

Limitation

The theory deals with the cognitive (knowledge) and psychomotor (skills) domains, and not the affective (attitude) domain.
