Instructional design/ARCS Model Example

◀ ID ARCS Model

Case
Scenario: Now you are going to design a in-person workshop based on the ARCS Model for high school students in a public school district in Alaska. Goal is to introduce students to the basics skills of scientific inquiry. You have formed some general ideas for this two-hour workshop in which you will target main elements of an experiment:
 * Ask a question.
 * Do background research.
 * Construct a hypothesis.
 * Test a hypothesis by doing an experiment.
 * Analyze data and draw a conclusion.
 * Communicate your results.

Your audience is Grade 9 (freshmen) Alaska Native students who are a mix of non-native and native English speakers. With your survey, observation, interviews with the students' former teachers, as well as the research studies you managed to find, it shows the students have low literacy skills yet very strong visual skills.
