This document compares and contrasts two instructional design models: ADDIE and Dick & Carey. ADDIE is a linear model originally developed for the U.S. Armed Forces consisting of 5 phases - analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Dick & Carey is also known as the systems approach model and focuses on delivering content through 9-10 interconnected phases including instructional goals, performance objectives, and formative and summative evaluation. Both models provide structured guidance for instructional design but ADDIE is more rigid while Dick & Carey allows for revision at any phase and emphasizes clear, measurable learning objectives.

Instructional Design Models

3. ADDIE
Originally developed and implemented across all
branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, based on their Five
Step Approach early model.
Phases:
• Analysis: "Goal Setting Stage" focused on the needs
of the audiences
• Design: Determines goals, tools, tests, and resources.
• Development: Putting everything into action by
drafting, producing, and evaluating materials.
• Implementation: Continuous modification stage
through feedback.
• Evaluation: Formative evaluation during the
Development phase and Summative evaluation at
the end of the program.

4. Flexible: used in
traditional instruction
Effective when testing
for easily measurable
criteria
Evaluation is the key
component
Structured guidance for
design
Linear model, harder to
accommodate user
needs
Time consuming &
expensive
Doesn't allow for
creativity
Evaluation not focused
on improving
instructional materials
ADVANTAGES & CHALLENGES

5. DICK &
CAREY
Also known as the Systems Approach
Model, it focuses on the delivery of
content. Consisting of 9-10 connected
and influencing phases:
• Instructional Goals
• Instructional Analysis
• Entry Behaviors
• Performance Objectives
• Criterion Referenced Tests
• Instructional Strategy
• Instructional Materials
• Formative Evaluation
• Revise Instruction
• Summative Evaluation

6. ADVANTAGES & CHALLENGES
Requires clear and
measurable learning
objectives
Every component
essential and none can
be skipped
Can be time consuming
because of number of
steps & evaluation at
every steps
Evaluation & revision
can happen at any
phase in the model
