while the Mission Statement of [name of institution] is
laudable, we are unsure how the opposing side has
demonstrated that this Mission Statement is indicative of
instructivism.”
Rebuttal: It was never our intent to demonstrate that
[name of institution] mission statement is indicative of
instructivism.
It is critical that a course design model be congruent
with an institute's mission and vision statements, for
without that key component, failure is sure to follow.
However, that does not suggest that an institute's mission
statement must be indicative of a particular educational
design model. The Instructivist framework was adopted
by [name of institution] NOT because it is “indicative”
of their mission but because it is the one that supports
their mission.
