The Gagne’s 9 Events of Instruction in Conditions of Learning

These were based on the information processing model of the mental processes involved
in response to different stimuli for adults. The events of instruction, a nine-step process
developed by Gagne, relate to and address the conditions of learning. Your lesson plans can have
a solid foundation by keeping these steps in mind as you prepare for a class session or online
module.
Lesson: Gagne’s Conditions of Learning
Objective: Upon of this topic, student will be able to determine The Gagne’s Nine Events of
Instruction.

Events of Instruction Lesson Activity

1. Gaining attention
2. Inform the objectives
3. Recall the prior knowledge
4. Presenting the stimulus
5. Guide Learning
Grab the attention of the class and hold it
throughout the instructor's presentation of the
lesson's material. Use ice-breaker exercises, films,
and other methods. The goal is to instantly pique
students' interest in the subject and attention. I've
created a four-picture, one-word presentation on
Gagne's conditions for learning for this class.
Permit students to prioritize what they are about
to study and do to arrange their thinking. The goal
of this lesson requires students to identify the
hierarchy of Gagne's 9 events of instruction and
comprehend the precise meaning of his
Conditions of Learning.
Encourage students to expand on prior learning or
abilities. Recall incidents from earlier lectures,
incorporate learning from activities into the
current topic, or connect prior knowledge to the
current subject.
You want them to learn the topic, so demonstrate
and explain it. Make use of a range of techniques,
such as lectures, readings, exercises, projects,
multimedia, and others. Allowing the students to
raise their hands and express their thoughts on the
subject would serve as the stimulus for this
session.
Give students directions on how to learn, such as
through guided exercises. When students are
directed in their learning, they are less likely to
waste time or experience frustration by basing
their performance on inaccurate information or
poorly understood concepts. They will be led
through this lesson via a YouTube video on

6. Eliciting performance
7. Provide feedback
8. Assessing performance
9. Enhance retention and transfer
Gagne's Condition of Learning.
Permit pupils to use their knowledge and abilities.
Encourage pupils to use what they have learned in
team or solo projects. The students should do a
brief report on the subject for this lesson.
Give pupils comments on their individual work so
that you may address any isolated issues as
opposed to not knowing where issues or
discrepancies in learning are happening.
Assist pupils in identifying the subject areas they
still need to learn. Prior to high-stakes exams,
make sure students have rehearsed and gotten
feedback.
Educate pupils on how to apply knowledge to
individualized situations. By making the content
more relevant, this improves retention. When
creating essays and projects, provide students the
chance to connect the material covered in class to
their own experiences.
Permit pupils to consider their learning and how
they will apply their newfound knowledge and
abilities in the future.
