ISD breakdown

Instructional System Design model is very similar to a technique we use in Special Education called task analysis. In both cases directions or tasks are broken down into small components that are easier for the student to understand and complete. This model enhances personal inquiry because it forces a teacher to think about every step that goes into an assignment, as well as the best ways to complete the assignment. By seriously thinking about the small parts of an assignment the teacher is better equipped to assist the student through the task. Too often teachers, who already know how to solve a math problem, do not think of how THEY learned how to solve it. Therefore with ISD teachers go back to their beginning and break the task down.
