Ten Steps to Complex Learning: A Systematic Approach to Four-Component Instructional Design

by Jeroen van Merriënboer, Paul A. Kirschner

Ten Steps to Complex Learning presents a path from an educational problem to a solution in a way that students, practitioners, and researchers can understand and easily use. Students in the field of instructional design can use this book to broaden their knowledge of the design of training programs for complex learning. Practitioners can use this book as a reference guide to support their design of courses, curricula, or environments for complex learning.

Now fully revised to incorporate the most current research in the field, this third edition of Ten Steps to Complex Learning includes many references to recent research as well as two new chapters. One new chapter deals with the training of 21st-century skills in educational programs based on the Ten Steps. The other deals with the design of assessment programs that are fully aligned with the Ten Steps. In the closing chapter, new directions for the further development of the Ten Steps are discussed.

I had a very difficult time reading this book. As an English teacher, there are formats to writing that I expect. This author did not follow those formats. There are random words that are placed between dashes, for no reason. The vocabulary words are enclosed in stars. There is no definition for those words in the text. They are in the glossary in the back, so the author sees no purpose in defining them for the reader. It is very confusing and difficult to understand. I honestly can't wait to sell this book back to the bookstore.
