AND PLANNING
Declarative knowledge, also known as factual knowledge,
 any piece of information that can only be learned
through memorization
 refers to facts or information stored in the memory
 The fact that ADDIE represents the words Analysis,

 Facts, jargon, terminology, and acronyms are some of
the most common factual knowledge.
 Creating games to help learners acquire this knowledge
provides a strong foundation for future learning.

• an instructional design theory that argues that content to be
learned should be organized from simple to complex order
• the process of linking the new information with prior relevant or

the new fact and its relationship to a known knowledge structure
• helps fill in the gaps when new declarative knowledge is received
and is useful in learning labels and names and can also be used to
initially engage the learner with the material.
