-===== Elaboration Theory ===== 
- 
-Elaboration theory is one of the [[cognitivism|cognitivist]] models for instructional design proposed by [[http://​www.indiana.edu/​~syschang/​decatur/​bios/​biographies.html|Charles Reigeluth]] and his associates in 1970s. Very well accepted, it was offering suggestions on how to organize different types of instruction. 
- 
-The key principle is that the content should be organized starting from the simplest and then increasing order of complexity and that learner has to develop a concept in which new ideas will be meaningful and well accepted. 
- 
-Elaboration theory suggests instruction should be organized in the following eight strategies: 
- 
-  * organizing structure (conceptual,​ procedural or theoretical) 
-  * sequencing content in increasing order of complexity 
-  * within-lesson sequencing (based on type of organizing structure: for theoretically organized instruction present ideas from simple to complex, for procedures present steps in their order of appearance, for conceptually organized instructions start from more familiar and general concepts) 
-  * summarizers (to review content) 
-  * synthesizers (to enable easier meaningful integration of new knowledge) 
-  * analogies (to enable easier relation to prior knowledge) 
-  * cognitive strategy activators (images, diagrams or simply directions to mentally represent learned content) 
-  * learner control (suggest learners to exercise control over instructional strategies and content)
