WHO WAS MADELINE

HUNTER?
Influential educator who redefined teaching.
Her model gave teachers different strategies to help control their
classrooms and their lessons.
Hunter is regarded by many as a "teacher's teacher" for her ability
to translate educational and psychological theory into practical,
easy-to-understand pedagogy, and her influence on classroom
teaching techniques is still evident in the twenty-first century.

INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN
ANALYSIS
In order to conduct our analysis, we researched the Internet and
searched the ERIC database using keywords Madeline Hunter and
lesson.
We followed Reigeluths (1999) Instructional-Design Theory
Analysis to determine if Madeline Hunters Lesson Plan Structure
(LPS) has the characteristics of an instructional design theory.

GOALS AND VALUES

Main Goal:
The main goal of Madeline Hunters Lesson Plan Structure is to
increase learning retention by allowing the dissemination of more
knowledge at a faster rate.
Madeline Hunters LPS is based on behaviorism; it emphasizes
repetition, and errorless teaching.

VALUES
Getting it right the first time
Maintaining predictability in the learning environment
Active learner participation
Chunking
Consideration for learners developmental functioning
Adjusting teaching to level of understanding
Clear communication
Tapping into learners prior knowledge or experiences

PRE-CONDITIONS
Learners.
Are able to sustain attention
Comply and follow directions
issued by the teacher
Are on-task
Dont exhibit problem behaviors
Are intrinsically motivated by nature of instruction

METHODS
1. Objective and purpose
2. Anticipatory set
3. Input or presentation
4. Modeling
5. Checking for understanding
6. Guided practice
7. Closure

COMMENTARY AND
CONCLUSIONS
Madeline Hunters LPS is a
teacher-centered model
Teacher has ownership of the
content of instruction
Teachers constantly superviseleadership role is held by the
teacher
Learners demonstrate
proficiency during guided
practice

The context of instruction is highly structured

Appropriate for situations that require extensive practice
Interaction is teacher-directed
This model/theory is based on behaviorism

CONCLUSION
According to Reigeluth (1999), an instructional-design theory is a
theory that offers explicit guidance on how to better help people
learn and develop.
Based on this definition, Madeline Hunters Lesson Plan Structure
model/theory, is in our opinion, an instructional-design theory
because it offers specific prescriptions to increase learner retention.

CONCLUSION
Reigeluth (1999), also postulates that the major characteristics
that all instructional-design theories have in common are:
1. The instructional-design theory is design oriented (focusing on
means to attain goals)
2. The instructional identifies methods of instruction (ways to
support instruction)
3. In all instructional-design theories the methods of instruction can
be broken into more detailed component methods
4. Methods are probabilistic rather than deterministic (they
increase the chances of attaining the goals rather than ensuring
attainment of the goals).

CONCLUSION
Is Madeline Hunters lesson plan structure (LPS) a unique
instructional-design theory that is effective in the situations it is
employed?
Madeline Hunters LPS is an instructional-design theory
We did NOT find it to be unique, since increasing learner retention by way of
repetition may just be imitation of skills rather than actual learning.
It is effective in situations requiring extensive practice- multiplication facts,
handwriting, learning new food words, etc.
