Leveraging dynamic decision-making and environmental analysis to support authentic learning experiences in digital environments
(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2020) Stefaniak, Jill; Xu, Meimei
Authentic learning is a pedagogical approach that situates students in real-world settings. It thereby requires instructional designers to make contextualized design decisions to enhance students’ online learning experiences. The purpose of this paper is to provide instructional designers with a conceptual framework to help guide their instructional design decisions for authentic learning experiences in digital environments. We purport that these design decisions should be guided by three constructs: environmental analysis, dynamic decision- making, and promotion of knowledge acquisition. We also provide recommendations for future research on decision-making practices and processes in instructional design contexts.
