Description
Summary:In recent years, the growing incidence of blended and online learning has highlighted instructional design concerns, especially STEM instructional design. Existing studies have often adopted observations, questionnaires, or interviews to evaluate STEM instructional design plans. However, there is still a lack of quantitative, measurable, and objective assessment methods. To close this research gap, this study proposes an innovative method for assessing STEM instructional design plans based on information flows. In this study, 20 STEM instructional design plans were designed, analysed, and assessed using the proposed information flow-based assessment method. The results indicated that the proposed method is feasible and effective for assessing STEM instructional design plans. STEM instructional design plans could be significantly improved based on the proposed method. The results and implications for instructors and practitioners are discussed in depth.
