CE 406 -Module 9 Dick and Carey Systems Approach
The Dick and Carey systems approach was first published by Walter Dick and Lou Carey in 1978. The systems approach is portrayed as a curvilinear flow portrayed with one-way arrows. The curvilinear design portrays an easier way instructional design is practiced and developed. Compared to the ADDIE Model, the Dick and Carey systems approach focuses less on implementation and builds in iterative development through ongoing revision of instruction. The Dick and Carey Systems approach takes the ADDIE model several steps further and adds a formative and summative evaluation tool to further gain insight into what was effective in the design of the learner's instruction program.
Even though the Dick and Carey systems approach was mainly developed for adult learners, it can be designed and tailored for primary and secondary school learners as well. The first step in the systems approach is to identify goals and assess the needs of its learners. In doing so, instructional designers seek to identify the desired performance level and compare it to current performance.
The systems approach also seeks to explore and use learners' prior knowledge and preconceived notions to determine where they are as a base for understanding a base of knowledge.
Medical students have used medical simulation for years as a way to identify performance gaps related to skills like trauma and triage. Medical students work through simulated tasks and skills that are important to the effective delivery of acute care situations that are needed for rapid response scenarios in the clinical healthcare setting. When gaps are identified, instructions can assess and evaluate training that needs to be revised and added to the overall curriculum presented in the classroom environment. Instructors use online training tools like case studies and concept videos to elicit more effective medical training outcomes.
