COMPARE AND CONTRAST
THE ADDIE MODEL TO
DICK AND CAREY MODEL

2. INTRODUCTION
According to Dr. Serhat Kurt (2017), Instructional Design is the
systematic development of instructional specifications using
learning and instructional theory to ensure the quality of
instruction. It is the entire process of analysis of learning needs
and goals and the development of a delivery system
to meet those needs.
With that benchmark in mind, and considering
two (2) more frequently used instructional designs as ADDIE and Dick
and Carey Model, the purpose of this assignment is to view the
similarities and differences between both developmental structures.

3. ADDIE MODEL
• The methodology itself was developed
in Florida State University’s Centre for
Educational Technology back in the
1970’s. Initially, the model was created
as part of a military training project by
the US armed forces.
• This model represents a flexible
guideline for building effective training
and instructional materials.
• ADDIE has five (5) interrelated phases
(as pictured on the left).
• This model is considered to be the
leading learning design methodology to
date.

4. DICK AND CAREY MODEL • Walter Dick, Lou Carey, and James
Carey developed this comprehensive
and detailed process in 1978.
• Dick and Carey model describes all the
phases of an iterative process that
starts by identifying instructional goals
and ends with summative evaluation.
• The model addresses instruction as an
entire system, focusing on the
interrelationship between context,
content, learning and instruction.
• The Dick & Carey instructional design
model has ten (10) components for
planning and designing effective
learning initiatives (as pictured on the
the Left).

5. SIMILARITIES
1. Both focus on instructional design development.
2. Both encompass the design of curriculum, input and output.
3. Both encompass four (4) interrelated functions as: analysis,
design, development and evaluation process.
4. Both provide guidelines or frameworks to establish and
construct guiding initiatives for learning.

6. ADDIE
• Has five phases of the analysis, designing,
development, implementation, and
evaluation, have a clear meaning and
understanding. This step-by-step method
occurs linearly with easy distinction in
progression.
• The evaluation process: The ADDIE
method is set up to evaluate in the fifth and
final phase in its approach. This phase
consists of two forms of evaluation
formative and summative. The Formative
focuses on the processes done throughout
the model, and the Summative is a testing
method on related items designed to give
feedback from the users (Husain, 2014).
DICK AND CAREY MODEL
• Consist of ten detail phases that are
executed iteratively rather than linearly like
the Addie model.
• The evaluation process: The Dick and
Carey model has evaluations throughout
each phase of the method. Revisions are
made throughout each step in order to
improve directions and understanding in
each phase. Data is also used in order to
identify any difficulties that one may be
having throughout each phase. The final
phase is able to formatively evaluate
instruction and revise to meet the standard
of design (Husain, 2014).
DIFFERENCES

7. ADDIE
• The design, has the
flexibility to be used
and or manipulated for
many different purpose
types as business,
education, etc.
DICK AND CAREY
MODEL
• The model,
encompasses two (2)
evaluation
opportunities. The first
focuses on revision and
the second determines
which processes were
effective vs. ineffective.
ADVANTAGES

8. ADDIE
• All phases of the design
must be completed for
accuracy; no phase can
be discarded.
DICK AND CAREY
MODEL
• The model objectives
must be clear and
measurable to avoid a
weakened or skewed
outcome.
CHALLENGES

9. CONCLUSION
It is clear that both the ADDIE and Dick and Carey Model
has made a significant contribution to the field of
instructional design. As, both models have a influence on
the delivery of training in its own way. With these models
of such and the inclusion of having a clear and concise
pathway, all positive intentions to maximize the attendees
time will be fulfilled; creating a lasting impact to foster
satisfactory performance in any sphere of development.
