Be aware!
• Think about your procedure topics
• You will create a 5mins video to teach a
procedure and a 4-pages color manual
• Turn-in assignments on time (otherwise you
will loose points)
• Visit course schedule page and make
readings of procedure learning instructional
approaches
Possible Topics
• First Aid (together with Macide Tuzun from
Phys. Ed. Dept)
• Safer Internet for children
• How to set-up a BC for scuba diving
What is Procedure
• Here is a procedure
• How to unblock a toilet 
• Procedures are things you do or tasks you
perform.
• Something that you need to learn "how to
do."
• Procedural learning is different from
learning other things
– The brain stores learned procedures in a
different way and in a different place from the
learning of facts and other declarative
knowledge
• Procedures can be divided into two groups
– physical (e.g., doing a slam dunk in
basketball) and
– mental (e.g., calculating the tip on a
restaurant bill).
• Most procedures, however, are a
combination of both physical and mental
activities.
• Procedures are a part of our life, so it is
important to know how to effectively teach
procedures
Types of Procedures
• Procedures can be branching or linear.
• Branching procedures require decisions at
various points.
– light a fire (Where, how, what,…)
– Baking bread
• A linear procedure has no decisions and is
done exactly the same way every time. Simple,
straight-forward and often performed.
– Tying your shoe. the procedure will almost always
take the same general direction and end in the same
way.
• Procedures can be of different sizes:
• "how to drive a car" is a procedure,
– it is also a series of many smaller procedures, such
as "how to start the car," "how to put the car in gear,"
"how to accelerate," "how to stop," "how to signal and
execute a turn," etc.
• Sometimes you will need to teach all the ministeps leading up to your procedure.
• In other cases, you can assume some prior
knowledge (for example, students in a college
class on how to write an essay probably already
know how to read and to write in English
In your project
• Branching procedure requires decisions
at various points

Two instructional approaches to
teaching procedures
• Reigeluth’s Approach to Procedure
Learning and
• Carroll’s Minimalist approach
Carroll’s Minimalist Approach to
Procedure Learning
• Minimalist instruction assumes that people
learning a new skill are eager to do
something active and meaningful
• to actually perform the procedures rather
than simply reading about them. This type
of instruction capitalizes on learners’
tendency to read a manual only in order to
do a specific task.
What is the minimalist approach to
procedure learning?
• Minimalist instruction assumes that
learners want to use what they are
learning, in an authentic manner,
immediately.
• Therefore, rather than reading 100 pages
of a manual, this method encourages
learners to read short passages and
explore the tool or procedure they are
learning.
What are the four principles of
minimalist instruction?
• Choose an approach that allows students
to be active.
• Use the procedure in an authentic task.
• Work on recognizing, preventing, and
recovering from student error.
• Make the students read only enough to get
started and know where they need to find
other information as they work through the
procedure
An example for Minimalist
Approach
• Teaching Origami
Reigeluth’s Approach to Procedure
Learning
• Present the generality
• Present examples (demonstration of
steps)
• Practice (with divergent items).
Generality info should include:
• The label for the procedure
• The goal for the procedure
• The ordered set of actions (steps)
Reigeluth’s Approach to Procedure
Learning
• Present the generality
• Present examples (demonstration of
steps)
• Practice (with divergent items).

An Example
• Staying Alive – A five minutes video
• How would you design such a video for
your project?
– Target: Preschool kids
– Context: Kindergarten
An Example
• RICE Method – A five minutes video
• How would you design such a video for
your project?
– Target: Adults
– Context: Sports
– Video
3 things to keep in mind:
• Scope:
– Ensure that the procedure is something that can be
taught in a short time. Teaching how to clap your hands is
too little; teaching how to use all the functions of MS
Word is definitely too much.
• Feasibility of creation of material:
– Make sure that your topic is appropriate to the materials
and resources you have available
• Decision points:
– Make sure that your procedure has a certain number of
moments when the learner will have to make a decision.
– The procedure should not be completely linear and one
that the learner can perform almost without thinking.
Remember
• In this project, you will prepare:
• An Instructional 5 mins Video
• High quality, 3-4 pages paper based
(color) supplementary instructional
material
