Instructional Development

Paivio’s Dual Code Theory states that information that is presented in both verbal and non-verbal (i.e. sounds, images, sensations) formats enhances learner memory and recall. Increase your students’ interaction, motivation, attention, and recall by incorporating different instructional media and methods into your courses.

Instructional Methods- are compiled as: lecture, reading, audio-visual, demonstrations, discussion groups, practice by doing, and immediate use of the information being presented.

Average learner retention rates for each instructional method:

Instructional Method Average Retention Rate
Lecture 5%
Reading 10%
Audio-Visual 20%
Demonstration 30%
Discussion groups 50%
Practice by doing 75%
Immediate Use 90%
Adapted from: Delivering Instruction to Adult Learners, by Jeffery A. Cantor
