Gagne's nine instructional events provide a framework for effective teaching and include gaining student attention, informing them of the learning objective, stimulating recall of prior knowledge, presenting new material, providing guidance, eliciting student performance, giving feedback, assessing performance, and enhancing retention and transfer of knowledge. An example of applying these events is teaching students to identify proper nouns by first gaining their attention, explaining the objective, reviewing nouns, defining proper nouns, demonstrating their use, having students practice, providing feedback on their work, assessing their understanding, and enhancing retention with additional practice identifying proper nouns.
