Bridging the Gap between Instructional Design and Double Loop Learning
By Howard Spoelstra, Maristella Matera, Ellen Rusman, Jan van Bruggen, and Rob Koper
Abstract:
"The implementation of double loop learning based educational scenarios in instructional designs in workflow-like e-learning systems appears to be showing a gap; whereas the former assumes that processes can be reflected upon and can be modified or amended by the learners, the latter only predefines a limited set of rigid instructional processes..However, an important advantage of instructional designs implemented in work-flow-like e-learning systems using modeling standards is the ease with which they can be exchanged with other (educational) institutions. The work-flow environment described here aims to make learner reflection and change to instructional processes feasible while
maintaining portability. We present a description of the implementation of the pedagogical scenario of the “Virtual Company” in our work-flow environment that makes use of dynamic work-flow processes. Learners are provided with process building blocks, called “atomic actions” which they can use to create and revise processes “on the fly”, thus supporting double-loop learning."
