What Is the New Paradigm of Instructional Theory
I would like to outline what I think are some of the major issues in instructional theory at present.
I believe the most significant issue is that we need a new paradigm of instructional theory (in addition to a new paradigm of the ISD process, which I won't go into here). I talked about both at some length in the May issue of Educational Technology (Reigeluth, 1996), but let me reiterate here that I see the new paradigm of instructional theory as focusing on customized learning that fosters learner empowerment, initiative, and responsibility, as well as teamwork, thinking skills, metacognitive skills, and diversity.
