This is followed by the Design phase of the ADDIE model,
where a carefully planned approach to addressing the
performance gap is outlined and approved. This planned
approach has three components:
1. fi tting the proposed training program (or module) into
the larger training curriculum;
2. outlining the proposed training module; and
3. securing management approval of the outlined training
program.
If management approves the proposed design, the Develop-
ment phase of the ADDIE model comes next, where the
training program - the training materials and the assessment
materials - is developed to address the performance gap.
To anticipate, this is the point where the program
improvement model and the ADDIE model diverge from one
another. While the Development phase is followed by the
Implementation phase in the ADDIE model, there are two
paths out of the Development phase in the program
improvement model. One leads to Pilot Implementation; the
other leads to Final Implementation. In turn, Pilot
Implementation leads to Formative Evaluation, while Final
Implementation leads to Summative Evaluation (Figure 5.2).
This chapter will examine the three components of the
Design phase in turn, focusing attention on an illustrative
example of a training module.
5.2 The training module in the
larger curriculum
Fitting the proposed training module into the larger
curriculum ensures the articulation of this module with all
