Comparison of the ADDIE model and the ABC method

1. Comparison of the ADDIE model and the ABC method

You need to study the ADDIE model and the ABC method. The first step is to become familiar with their basic features, phases and methods of application. Use the available sources that you will receive as part of this activity, but if necessary, research additional literature to get a more complete picture of each model/method. Once you have become familiar with both approaches, you need to analyse them according to the criteria proposed in the activity itself.

In your analysis, you should consider the strengths and weaknesses of both models, the way they structure the design process, flexibility, time and resource requirements, collaborative opportunities, and pedagogical value. Pay particular attention to assessing the applicability of each model in your specific educational context, making sure to consider student characteristics, group size, available technical resources, institutional policies and teaching format.

Based on the analysis you have conducted, you should draw a conclusion about which model or combination of elements from both models can best support your teaching objectives. You should justify the results of your assessment with arguments based on the sources you have studied and your professional experience. You will also apply the results in the following activity.
