Exhibit 8.D: Ten Major Factors to Consider When Choosing Instructional Techniques

Factor 1: Learning objectives	Is the focus of the objectives acquiring new knowledge, enhancing cognitive skills, developing psychomotor skills, strengthening problem-solving and problem-finding capabilities, or changing attitudes, values, or feelings?
Factor 2: Instructors	Are instructors capable of using the techniques, and do they feel comfortable doing so?
Factor 3: Learners	How many learners are involved? What are the characteristics of these learners? What are their cultural backgrounds? What expectations do the learners have in terms of the techniques to be used? Do the participants have the background and experience to use these techniques, and if not, how can instructors assist participants to learn how to use these techniques?
Factor 4: Context	How does the learning environment influence the usefulness and appropriateness of the instructional techniques? Can the learning context enhance the use of the techniques chosen? How might you adapt the techniques so they better fit the learning context?
Factor 5: Transfer of learning	Do the techniques promote the transfer of learning process? What techniques have the greatest potential for simulating the context in which the learning will be applied?
Factor 6: Content	Is the content abstract or concrete? What is the level of complexity and comprehensiveness of the material?
Factor 7: Technique Characteristics	What can realistically be done with the techniques? How difficult are the techniques to use? What kind of time is needed to use the techniques effectively?
Factor 8: Variety	Are there plans to use a variety of techniques that take into account the various backgrounds and experiences of the learners and the different ways they process information?
Factor 9: Logistical constraints	Are the costs, if any, associated with the techniques chosen realistic? Are the space, equipment, or materials necessary to use the techniques readily available?
Factor 10: Time	Are techniques being used that fit into the time frame allotted (e.g., is there too little or too much time available)?
