INTRODUCTION

Design is a rational, logical, sequential, process intended to solve problem. Instructional

Design is the systematic process of transplanting general principles of learning and
instruction into plans for instructional materials and learning.

ASSURE instructional Design model is one of the various design models, use for
instructional Design. ASSURE model is preferred in media and technology integrated
instructions. In addition to being organized, it is a strategy and idea to assist instructor on
designing and evaluation of the instruction (Asal, Hassan, Shewrwar) 2014.

The ASSURE model is an ISD (Instructional Systems Design) process that was modified to
be used by teachers in the regular class room. The ISD process is one in which teachers and
trainers can use to design and develop the most appropriate learning environment for their
students. You can use this process in writing your lesson plans and in improving teaching and
learning.

A stated in the definition of the model, it is important to use technology and media in this
instructional design model. The model is the acronym of six components which are analyze
learner ,state objectives, select methods, media, materials, utilize media and material, require
learner participation, evaluate and revise.

OBJECTIVES:

1 . the objective of this model that we can be used in assessing the success of the students,
perhaps for the grading process.

2. It can use them to let the learners know what they will accomplish through the class.

3. we select our teaching strategy, then its time to figure out which technology, media, and
materials best support the method of teaching that we are using.

The ASSURE model in corporate Roberts Gagne’s events of Instruction to assure effective
use of media in instruction.

A- Analyze learner’s

S- state standards and objectives

S- select strategies, technology, media and materials

U- utilize technology, media, and materials

R- Require learner participation

E- Evaluate and revise

Analyse learner> state objectives> select media> use media> Require participation>
Evaluate and Revise

1. Analyse learner—The first step in the ASSURE model is to Analyse learners. To

analyse the learners we must examine the learner in details.
Like most things without taking the time in the beginning to examine the learner,
nothing we have prepared will be effective. As part of analyzing our learner we must
identify our audience. A superficial analysis of learners instructional method and
media. Characteristic of the learners depend regarding skill, ethnic or cultural
subgroup, learners apathy, social background etc.

2. State objective- The second steps in the ASSURE Model is to state objective. The
stated objectives are statements describing what the learner will do as a result of
instruction. In order to developer objectives you must frame them in terms of desire
behaviour most objectives contain four parts.
a. Audience-who your learners are?
b. Behaviour to be demonstrated.
c. Condition under which the behaviour will be observed.
d. Degree to which the learner skill are to be mastered
3. Select strategies, Technology, method, and materials- The second ‘S’ in the
acronym stands for select strategies, Technology, method and materials. First we
should figure out what which delivery method will be best for our instructions. The
first of these are strategies such as lecture ,demonstration or showing a video. The
second are strategies such as group discussion or cooperative group work. Common
sense weighs in on the side of learning-centred strategies. Learning become more
exciting when there is more class participator .learning is at its best when the teacher
merely leads the student into discovering the correct answer to a problem themselves.
An effective teacher is merely a facilitator to the process of learning. Once you select
our teaching strategy then its tome to figure out which technology, media and
materials best support the method of teaching that we are using.
4. Utilize Technology, media and materials- This steps in the ASSURE process
concerns making a plain as to how you will utilize the technology, media and
materials that we have selected. As with in all of the instructional steps, we must sure
that our plans contribute towards producing the objectives that we have laid down.

Its important to follow the five ‘P ’process to achieve this

a. Preview the Technology, media, and materials

b. Prepare the technology, media and materials- we need to gather all of the things
that you will need to teach your lesion.
 c. Prepare the environment- there is some minimal preparation required to set up the
learning environment. We should make sure that there are no sources of noise that
will disturb the students.
d. Prepare the learners- we should explain to the students what the benefits of
learning the material are .
e. Provide the learning experience- we should be prepared to carry out the lesson
with every prior step of the process in mind. This will in sure your success as a
teacher.
f.
5. Require learner participation- This steps actually belongs within earlier steps . it
requires that you make plans to how your are going to actively engage your students
in the materials that you are teaching. The most basic steps that you can take is
requiring participation of the students in the class discussion. You might try even
allowing individual students to lead classes or discussions in the style of a seminar.

6. Evaluate and Revise- The final step in the ASSURE process is just as crucial as all
of the other. It this step we evaluate the impact of your teaching learning. This
includes an evaluation the impact of your strategies and the technology, media, and
materials that you used. The following questions are useful to ask during this
evaluation.

Did your lesion meet the learning objectives that you planed ?

Can this lesion be improved?

How will you assess effectiveness of these tools?

Conclusion- The ASSURE process really just a matter of common sense . how ever it is
good to follow regimented guide to improve your teaching technique. Any effective teacher
knows that the perfection of their technique does not come over night and there is always
room for improvement by following the ASSURE process you will be sure to improve your
teaching for many years to come.
