| The Nine Events of Instruction: | |
| I | . n 1972, R.M. Gagné postulated that every lesson was made up of nine events which occurred one or more times though the introduction, body, conclusion, and assessment of any lesson (Gagné, 1972). An Instructional Designer must be certain that at least these nine events are accounted for in the lesson plan somehow. Failing to do so will leave a serious gap in the lesson. |
