Features: The field of instructional design theory and practice has undergone a journey spanning over half a century, evolving from an initial narrow focus on programmed instruction to a multidimensional research area integrating psychology, technology, evaluation, measurement, and management. Its applications and theoretical development have become an international effort, extending across various professional and administrative training, classroom learning, and professional education. This volume is a collaborative effort by leading figures in various specializations of international instructional design, aiming to establish a common global reference foundation for instructional design theory, research, and practice. The clearly defined theoretical, research, and model foundations outlined in this volume encompass multiple disciplines such as philosophy of learning and teaching, cultural studies, psychology, pedagogy, management, measurement, and technology, building multidimensional bridges to bridge the gap between the fundamentals of instructional design and its practical applications.
