The Role of an Instructional Design Model Integrated with OERS in Developing Teachers’ Competencies to Adopt E-Learning

Abstract

AbstractThe current chapter includes a paper aims at developing an instructional design model integrated with OER’s and examining its role in developing Palestinian teachers’ professional competencies in adopting e-learning. To achieve this aim, an instructional design model named GHOSHEH ID Model was developed. Accordingly, teachers got a special training to apply the model in designing e-content and delivering it to learners online. Three instruments were used: First, a case study with a group of technology teachers who were trained to apply the model with students. Second, a questionnaire answered by teachers to evaluate the model. Third, a focus group of teachers who applied the model. Analysis of data revealed that applying GHOSHEH ID Model contributed effectively in developing teachers’ professional competencies in adopting e-learning due to integrating OER’s with instructional design and multiple learners centered strategies in parallel to continuous assessment and authentic evaluation. Accordingly, the researchers recommended adopting GHOSHEH ID Model in designing e-content and applying it.KeywordsOpen educational resourcesInstructional design modelTeacher competenciesE-learning
