Summary:
A considerable amount of research has been done on specific elements of instructional design and how they affect achievement among academically disadvantaged students (Darch & Carnine, 1986; Woodward & Noell, 1991). The purpose of this research was to consider the relationship between specific instructional design principles in a videodisc program and academic achievement. The results of this study indicate that redesigning instruction alone might not be sufficient to enhance academic performance of learning disabled students. A reformulation of current curricula to include essential knowledge in a discipline might be the first step in educational reform.
