Holistic instructional design model and course examination for the four-component instructional design system

摘要

The Four-Component Instructional Design System is essential in blueprints for complex learning. In this work, the case analysis method was adopted to discuss the instructional design, course content arrangement and examination in American high education with focus on analyzing the methods of investigation teaching. Various methods using in the course exams were also discussed. We think that the exams are diversified and restricted in order to instruct students to highlight preview, reading and conscientious completion of assignments. Project practice should be applied to test students' practical application ability. In addition, the course link system of applied universities as well as course quality standards and teaching technologies should be improved from an internationalized education perspective in order to promote reform in the course grading policies in high education and further boost reform in the overall talent training system.
