This document compares and contrasts the ADDIE model and Dick and Carey instructional design models. The ADDIE model is a 5-step process used to plan effective learning experiences, while the Dick and Carey model has 10 steps and is more commonly used for educational platforms. Both models take a systematic approach and include analysis and evaluation stages. The ADDIE model is more linear while Dick and Carey is more iterative. The ADDIE model is more commonly used but less flexible, while Dick and Carey is more detailed but requires more time.

are 10 steps in this model.

4. Uses a systematic approach.
All stages must be completed
in the order it is presented.
Analysis is completed in the
beginning.
They both have an evaluation
stage at end.
These models were both
developed in the 1970s.

models

5. COMPARE BOTH MODELS
ADDIE MODEL
• Analysis
• Design
• Development
• Implementation
• Evaluation
DICK AND CAREY MODEL
• Identify instructional goals.
• Conduct instructional analysis.
• Identify entry behaviors.
• Write performance objectives.
• Develop criterion tests.
• Develop instruction strategy.
• Develop and select.
• Instructional materials.
• Develop and conduct formative evaluation.
• Develop and conduct summative evaluation.
• Ongoing revision.

6. DIFFERENCES
ADDIE
• Addie has 5 components.
• The step-step method occurs linearly
with easy to follow instructions.
• The evaluation only happens in the 5th
and final phase of this method in the
Addie method.
Dick & Carey
• D&C has 10 components.
• Steps are performed repetitiously and
in parallel form rather than linear.

7. PRO’S & CONS
• Addie is the most common model
used.
• Addie Is most effective when testing
for easily measurable criteria.
• D&C is not commonly used model but
very detailed and flexible for a creative
Instructional Designer.
• Addie does not allow for the designer
creativity.
• Addie will not allow to advance to next
stage until current step is done
correctly.
• D&C will not allow to advance to next
stage.
• D&C is mostly very detailed and
causes more time to complete.

8. CONCLUSION
Both models allows for trainers and instructional designers to communicate the
purpose and reason and thoroughly explains throughout process.
Detailed data given of all the major components that can make a successful learning
outcome.
Without models – trainings would be missing steps and little effectiveness for learners.
