ASSURE MODEL
➤Is an instructional design model that has the
goal of producing more effective teaching and
learning.
➤ Assure model is an instructional materials
which is used to assist teachers in carrying
out a proper lesson.
➤ Is an IDS(Instructional System Design)
process that was modified to be used by
teachers in the regular classroom.
➤ The IDS process, is one in which teachers

S - State Standards and Objectives
► After the analysis of the learner
attributes, the teacher must state
standards and objectives for the learning
module. This statement consists of a
specification of what the learners will be
able to do as a result of the instruction.
► The objectives can be used in assessing
the success of the students, perhaps for
the grading process. Also, you can use
S - State Standards and Objectives
►The mark of a good set of learning
objectives is conformity to the ABCDs of
well-stated learning objectives. They are as
follows:
► Audience - For whom is the objective
intended?
►Behavior - What is the behavior or
performance to be demonstrated?
► Conditions - What are the conditions under
which the behavior or performance will be
observed?
S - Select Strategies, Technology, Media,
and Materials
► The second "s" in the acronym stands for
select strategies, technology, media, and
materials. Given what your learning objectives
are, it's necessary to pick instructional
strategies, technology, and media that will
bring about the results that you want.
► Learning is at its best when the teacher
merely leads the student into discovering the
correct answer to a problem themselves. An
effective teacher is merely a facilitator to the

► It's important to follow the "five p's" process to
achieve this:
► Preview the Technology, Media, and
Materials
-This means that it's important to plan ahead of
time just how you're going to use them. It's good
to do a dry run of your lesson before you actually
teach it. Make sure that the whole lesson will go
smoothly and seamlessly.
► Prepare the Technology, Media, and
Materials
-You need to gather together all of the things that
you will need to teach your lesson. They must be
working properly. For example, if you are making a
► Prepare the Environment
-There is some minimal preparation required to set up
the learning environment. Simple things like making
sure that you have enough desks are important. Also, if
you have control over the situation, you should make
sure that there are no sources of noise that will disturb
the students.
► Prepare the Learners
-First, you need to clearly inform the learners as to what
the learning objectives are. This will help the learners
create a mental map of what they need to absorb. Next,
it's important to tell the students how they will be
assessed. You need to tell them what their assignments
will be, how they will be graded, if there are tests, etc.
Also, you should explain to the students what the
► Provide the Learning Experience
- You then actually carry out the lesson. This is
where all of your planning takes effect. You should
be prepared to carry out the lesson with every
prior step of the process in mind. This will insure
your success as a teacher.
R- Require Learner Participation
► This step actually belongs within earlier steps. It
requires that you make plans to how you are going to
actively engage your students in the material that
you are teaching. This needs to be figured out both at
the class level and the individual level.
► The most basic step that you can take is requiring
participation of the students in class discussions. A
more sophisticated approach would require that
students prepare questions and comments at home to
bring into the class. You might try even allowing
individual students to lead classes or discussions in the
style of a seminar.
R- Require Learner Participation
► Beyond this, you need to plan exactly
how the students will participate in the
learning process generally speaking.
How will they learn the information and
techniques included in a lesson?
This plan needs to be more specific than
just saying that they will listen and absorb
the material. Maybe you will encourage a
specific kind of note-taking or other
learning strategies.
E - Evaluate and Revise
► The final step in the ASSURE
process is just as crucial as all of
the others. In this step, you
evaluate the impact of your
teaching on student learning. This
includes an evaluation of your
teaching strategies and the
technology, media, and materials
that you used.
The following questions are useful to ask during
this evaluation:
► Did your lesson meet the learning objectives that you
planned? How will you determine whether the students
reach the objectives? Is your way of assessing the
students in line with your learning objectives?
► Can this lesson be improved? How?
How are you going to assess the weaknesses in your
presentation?
► Was your choice of media and materials a good one?
How will you assess the effectiveness of these tools?
► Is it possible that other technologies, media, and
materials would have done a better job?
► The final step in your evaluation should
focus on feedback from your students.
• Was their experience positive overall?
• Do they feel that they have reached
your objectives and their own
personal objectives?
• How will you determine whether or
not your performance was effective?
Advantages and
Disadvantages
of Assure Model
Advantages of Assure Model
• Allows the use of external resources and technology
other than simple lecturing using textbooks.
• Focus on step-by-step instructions for instructors to see
the pros and cons of the lesson.
• Provides lesson planning foundation while allowing
creativity from the instructors.
• Students can use computer software to make revisions
to their homework quick and easy.
• Students needs and levels of abilities are taken into
consideration while setting the curriculum. As well the
kind of technology needed.
• Students are active participants no more passivity when
learning is taking place.
Disadvantages of Assure Model
• Online information can be distributed by certain
organization for advertisement.
• Online information can be unreliable and biased.
• Some technologies like tablets and computers
maybe in limited quantities. Instructors may not
be able to obtain a copy for every student in
class.
• Technology maybe doing the teaching instead of
the educator.
• Evaluation is the last step in the model although
its good to know what worked and what did not.
