In order to not destroy a student's self-efficacy, this will probably work best with volunteers, but some of Bandura's verbal persuasion may be of use here. Based on the types of relationships that could result from an instructional analysis, Gagne proposed the five levels of intellectual skills. This shapes the lecture portion of my lesson by identifying an organization necessary for the students to gradually identify with. Once prerequisite discriminations have been acquired, concept learning can occur. Defined concepts are not readily identified and must be identified by a definition.
Defined concept is the simplest type of rule, where learning typically involves the use of symbols.
When rules require a series of steps to be performed in sequence, such as opening the toolbar, my lecture will include cues as to the appropriate order of steps. During the lecture, I will point out the toolbar and the differences in the icons for tracing precedents and dependents, for removing them, and for removing all arrows. Next will be their respective definitions, and unique aspects. A distinguishable feature to note is that when an error exists in the direction chosen, the arrows are not blue they are red. The students will only learn at the simple rule level within the classroom.
