Easy to follow with systematic flow.

similarities:
includes some activation of prior knowledge and learning objectives
Differences:
Merrill problem centered

# data[].attributes.body
The steps under both model can be overlapped and follow a broadly similar sequential flow.
Merrill’s is problem centred and seems to have more real life application. But it is also hard to apply if content are not problem based.

Difference: Key difference is that while Merrill's strategy is problem-focused but Gagne's strategy is not. Gagne's events components can be looped, when there are sub-objectives to be fulfilled but not Merrill's.

learning theory - problem based learning

Offers a comprehensive process

+: simple flow

-: subject to interpretation depending on context

difference: problem-centred

# data[].attributes.body
Structured and systematic, simple to follow.

# data[].attributes.body
'Based on actual problem

# data[].attributes.body
more demonstrations to build knowledge

# data[].attributes.body
Presenting problem will rouse learners' interest better as opposed to other instructional methods.

- Safwan

# data[].attributes.body
Greater emphasis on learner-centered design and creating engaging, meaningful learning experiences

# data[].attributes.body
Gagne appears to be more specific in that it spells out steps as straightforward as informing learner of objectives and providing feedback while Merill's principles are broader and appear to have more flexibility

# data[].attributes.body
+: Structured, organised, provided step-by-step Good for starters.

-: May be confining/rigid if not used with some flexibility to fit into context.

Differences: Gain Attention

# data[].attributes.body
Gagne's nine events are more focused on sequencing of activities than on the approach used in the course.

# data[].attributes.body
Systematic

# data[].attributes.body
Problem-centred with incresing complexity

# data[].attributes.body
Need to be sure about the audience in order to present the problem to solve

# data[].attributes.body
Based on actual problem that is worth fixing

# data[].attributes.body
information presented in a logical order. learner get to practise and apply what they learn

# data[].attributes.body
More appropriate for classroom setting

Merrill's problem centric launching point helps keep the learner focused on the objective.

# data[].attributes.body
Merrill's first principle of learning events being based on actual problems worth fixing. When a real-world problem is at the center of instruction, learners are more likely to be effective at transferring new knowledge back to the job

# data[].attributes.body
Gagne's 9 events - simple to follow and implement.

Initial problem must be simple enough for learners with less prior experience to appreciate, yet complex enough for learners with more experience to be motivated

Problem is at the centre of learning
