The document compares and contrasts the ADDIE and Dick and Carey instructional design models. The ADDIE model is a traditional 5-phase linear model of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. In contrast, the Dick and Carey model promotes a systems view of instruction and includes more detailed phases such as identifying instructional goals and conducting formative and summative evaluations. A key difference is that the Dick and Carey model incorporates evaluation throughout the process, while ADDIE only evaluates at the final phase. Both models aim to systematically design effective instruction but take different approaches.

2. ADDIE INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN MODEL
• Analysis – Who is the audience? What is the nature of the issue?
• Design – How should the need be address?
• Development – Building the design of the model based on the design elements and
feedback.
• Implementation – Educating and training end users to use the final product.
• Evaluation – Receiving feedback from the end user. (Husain, 2014)

ADDIE is the traditional and systematic ID model that consists of 5 phases – Analysis, Design, Development,
Implementation, and Evaluation. The ADDIE model was traditionally used in the development of multimedia
content but with the ongoing evolution of content and objectives, ADDIE has manifested many weaknesses in
comparison to other models. ADDIE’s main characteristic is that it is a linear approach.

3. ADDIE
INSTRUCTIONAL
DESIGN MODEL
Strengths –
• Most used model.
• Foundation for other ID models.
• Effective when testing
measurable data.
• Structured guidance for design.
Weakness –
• Linear model which makes it
difficult to make
accommodations.
• Time consuming.
• Deters the creative process.
• Post test provide little useful
information to help assist in
improving instruction. (Husain,
2014)

4. DICK AND
CAREY
MODEL
The Dick and Carey Systems Approach Model (published in
1978) promotes a “systems” view of instruction instead of
viewing instruction as a sum of isolated parts.
The components of the Dick and Carey Model are the
following:
• Identify Instructional Goals
• Conduct Instructional Analysis
• Analyze Learners and Contexts
• Write Performance Objectives
• Develop Assessment Instruments
• Develop Instructional Strategy
• Develop and Select Instructional Materials
• Design and Conduct Formative Evaluation of Instruction
• Revise Instruction
• Design and Conduct Summative Evaluation

5. Strengths -
Clear and measurable
learning objectives.
Ability to develop instruction
as a systematic process.
Weakness -
It is based on the premise
that every component is
essential and therefore
none can be skipped.

DICK AND CAREY MODEL

6. COMPARISON
• Each model has its own unique characteristic and
elements to make up each phase.
• The Dick and Carey model, includes much more detail
phases.
• The ADDIE method is set up to evaluate in the fifth and
final phase. While the Dick and Carey model has
evaluations throughout each phase of the method.
• Both models are on the input, the output, and the
process of designing the curriculum.
